"add media to library" not working

[bobinnyc]

ok, im a new winamp user and im sure im making a silly mistake but for the life of me i can't figure it out. I am unable to add my music to the "media library". when i follow the instructions and open <file> <add media to library> nothing happens. the instructions say that by doing this i should be able to add my entire C:music file to the media library. HOWEVER I have no trouble adding all my files to the "Playlist". Shouldn't my files be stored in the media library or should they just appear in the playlist? Please help
