One thing I love about Winamp is its compact size, and being able to stay on top. For the past month or so, it won't stay on top.
I have tried:
- restarting the program: No change
- unchecking/rechecking the 'Always on Top' menu option: No change
- putting it on top of different programs, but as soon as the other programs get focus, it snaps back again: No Change
- changing the Theme from the Aero Windows 7 theme to just Windows Classic: No change
- changing the Winamp skin from Classic to Modern and even back again: No change
- uninstalling and reinstalling the application: No change.
What more can I try, or look into, to get Winamp to Stay On Top?

@CanadianLuke: Have you tried un-ticking Options → Preferences... → General Preferences... → Disable always on top while fullscreen applications are focused? – James P – 2014-07-17T12:05:52.020
There is a relevant forum post about this workaround and others, don't know if it could be helpful: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=213509

@CanadianLuke: Have you tried different skins (e.g. modern) to see if it still occurs? Some people seem to think it can affect it. – James P – 2014-07-18T08:38:37.320
I'm curious. Try using this program and see if it makes it stay on top (temporary solution)

@CanadianLuke That makes no sense! At least your problem is solved...? :) I want to know why this happened! The AHK script is
!t:: Winset, Alwaysontop, , A of codeapparently. So uninstalling it would have removed the hotkey, it shouldn't have fixed Winamp, but it's good it did! – ᔕᖺᘎᕊ – 2014-07-24T17:16:43.903
