files don't start Winamp3

suecito · 11th November 2002, 17:20

Hi
Since I installed winamp3 I cannot automatically play an mp3-file in winamp just by double-clicking on the file in a folder. When trying, all that happens is that winamp starts but does niether load nor play the file. Strangely enough, this problem does not occur with wav-files. Also, the "play in winamp" option that you normally get when right-clicking on a mp3-file doesn't show. I have tried to uninstall,reinstall and installing in admin mode (I use win2k).

Please help becuase this sucks

I'm having the same problem as well, and hopefully someone can help us with this. Although I do get the "Play in Winamp" feature when I right click on a file, not sure what the problem is with that. I use Windows XP Professional.

I have exactly the same problem. I've seen it's been a recurring problem for months, judging by old posts I've checked. And of course no answer. Thanks God I kept my good old Winamp 2x, I'm going to uninstall this "wonderful" Winamp 3 and get back to the old one. I'll try again in some months.

I managed to solve my problem. I simply had to go into the folder options and again reference mp3-files to winamp. For some reason mp3-files lost it's affiliation to winamp during the installment of Winamp 3. Hope this might help you.
