Am new to winamp and need some help. When using the playlist editor and adding a directory the names of the files show up for a fraction of a second then change to audiotrack 01 etc and the name of the track is not displayed scrolling on the main window. How do I get it to recognize the file name.

for MP3s, CD Audio, everything....what?

for mp3's

One of two things)
1: Preferences (ctrl-P) > Plug-ins > Input > select "Nullsoft MPEG Audio decoder..." > Hit Configure > Title Tab > Title formating (when ID3 tab is proesent) > %1 - %2 > OK Close

When playing a MP3 hit Alt+3 (Main window) and adjust the ID3 tag accordingly
