WinAMP not working with STO

I cannot figure out why, but I cannot seem to get WinAMP to work with the internal media player in STO.

I am running the 32bit version of Windows 7, running the Steam version of STO.

I do not have iTunes installed, I do not install every single plugin/feature of WinAMP however I don't see anything specific that I didn't install which would cause a problem for it to not work with STO.

I have tried starting WinAMP first, then STO, no go.
I have tried starting, then playing music, then STO, no go.
I have tried starting WinAMP after starting STO, no go.

Does anyone have any ideas which APIs STO uses to with WinAMP to make it work? Is just windows DDE commands, executable path commands or something else? That would be a great help in allowing me to figure out what is wrong with this.

Otherwise, does anyone have any ideas what might resolve the problem?

Thanks.

    Have you customized the format of the window name (the text that shows up in the taskbar)? That would throw it off I think.

    I don't believe so. Right now it's showing "423. Daft Punk - Digital Love - Winamp" in the taskbar.

    So, I played the settings window, I changed it to iTunes from "Winamp". clicked "Ok", open up the settings, changed it to "Winamp" and now it's working fine.

    Even persisting after relogging.
