I would like to be able to have my lists display in even columns in Winamp, I.E.:

artist    title
artist    title
artist    title

etc., instead of

artist123 title
artist48377 title
artist12 title

etc.

I figure there is probably a very easy way to set a certain length for title and artist character string lengths that will make this happen very easily. Am I correct, or is there some even easier way to do that with Winamp itself?

You could first export a list for all the files, using the following template, and making sure to have the "Fixed field width" option selected:



---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Artist>;<Filepath absolute>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------



Then use the "Tag/rename from list" tool, in tag mode, to process that list with the following (advanced mode) template:



---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Artist>; <Target file AP>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------



Remember to disable the casefix tool during this operation (both to preserve the exact tag contents and to avoid the "Trim leading/trailing spaces" option).

This will make all your artist fields exactly 30 characters long, padded with spaces in the end, which should in turn result in your desired behavior in Winamp (if it doesn't trim spaces in the ends before generating its list, I haven't verified this).
