Hi Lois, You're not being fair to windows 7. (Smile). Your probablem really doesn't have anything to do with windows 7; you have a Winamp and user problem. I'm only taking the time to make this comment because comments like this give XP users a bad impression of what Win7 is like.
I've written you with an alternative method of accomplishing your goal. By the way, that same step by step I sent you is almost exactly what you would have had to do had you been running a Windows XP computer. (Smile).

I don't know if I left something checked that I shouldn't have or what. Win7 is so new to me and I haven't installed winamp in a long time. Makes me wish I still had xp.

Open WinAmp from your desktop or start menu shortcut. 2. Press control + P, for preferences, this should put you in a tree view. 3. Arrow up or down until you are on File Types. 4. Tab to, Associated File Types, All button & press the spacebar. Make sure you press the spacebar because pressing enter won't work. 5. If you also want winamp to play your audio cd's tab until you hear associate with audio cd's and press the space bar to check it. Tab to the close button and hit enter. Now alt + F4 to close winamp. Hope this helps. Take care.

I installed it and can't get it to play mp3 files. It has been so long since I installed winamp that I must have done something wrong. Can anyone help me?
