When I double click on a song in one of my folders it used to pop up in winamp and play. Now I cannot create a playlist at all. No songs pop up when I click on them. Basically nothing will go from my folder into a playlist in winamp. I erased winamp and redownloaded it, with no results. Any and all help is much appreciated. I hate computers soo much. ---

check to make sure mp3 files are associated with winamp. Open “my computer” Tools \> Folder Options \> File Types Scroll down to MP3 and see what it says, should say Opens with Winamp" somewhere in the window. ---

if you go to the options or preferences, there is a library tab, you can have it browse folders every start up and it will automatically add music to your library. ---
