Display only audio files?
 
Back when I was using Winamp 2.X (the best, clearly.), I hit the add button and hit dir for directory and added my whole kazaa shared folder. Why is it that when I do it now it adds all files, including videos? I don't want them! I hit audio only but it STILL displays videos! Help! Add Dir was my favorite function :(

Add the files to the media libary, then right click on Audio ---> Send To ---> New playlist

ps you can also set the media library to rescan you kazaa folder under the prefrences

Hmm . . .

Yup, cheezychop's solution is sweet . . .
but...

There's no way to specify which filetypes to Add when you use:
Add -> Dir
(Add -> Folder)

It just adds all supported filetypes.

You can specify which filetypes to add when using:
Add -> File(s)

Did you actually want Winamp to support / be able to play video files?

If not, then you should've unchecked support for Video Files (AVI/MPG/ASF/WMV) in the installer setup.
And if you didn't want support for Nullsoft Video - NSV (Internet TV) then you should've unchecked that also, and then the video player wouldn't have been installed.

What you can do is:
Go to: Prefs -> Plugins -> Input -> Nullsoft DirectShow Decoder -> config
and remove the filetpes from the extension box that you don't want Winamp to support.

It's either that or store Audio & Video files in different folders,
or use Add -> Files instead of Add -> Dir

Sorry, but that's just the way that it is...

I checked that I didn't want video files. BUt I still find all my initial D avi's in there.
