I have been using WinAmp for a couple decades and have gotten around most of its quirks and bugs but recently it has decided it likes to crash when clearing playlists (which is necessary for indexing or loading a new playlist), hence my finding WACUP.

I very recently discovered WACUP and am thrilled that this project exists!

I keep an extensive collection of music and I have selections archived to prevent them from being indexed during playlist creation.  However, since I have started using WACUP I found that it indexes those archives that I don't want played normally.

Also, I had to delete all the smaller playlists that I have inside subfolders as they are indexed, producing duplicate entries.

Could there be an option to have WACUP ignore particular file extensions to stop indexing undesired filetypes, whether archives, playlist files, or video or audio types?

Thank you!  Your work is much appreciated!
