I already have music loaded on my phone

...can't I just tell Winamp where it is? Why do I have to sync with a desktop client?

All of my music is folder organized and exists on my device at:
/sdcard/media/music/artist/album/

Isn't there a way to just tell Winamp android where my existing music files are located?

It found the music I already had on my phone (i have it stored in /sdcard/music/artist/album/) right away. You can have it search too. Does this not work for you?

gah! turns out I had a /.nomedia file in the /sdcard/music/ directory, therefore Winamp ignored it. Since my other player was folders based, I hadn't noticed it before.
