There are other ways to do this, but you can do the following:

1. Hold down the shift key.
2. Right click on the mp3 file.
3. Move down to the option "Open with..." and left click on it.
4. Scroll down the list of applications and find either Studio or Winamp (depending on which build of Winamp 3 you have).
5. Select one of them.
6. If you want those files to be played by Winamp ALL THE TIME, check the box that says "always use this program".

Your file should open with Winamp 3.

There are ways withing Windows Control Panel to do this, but I'm not as familiar with them.

HTH (Hope this helps)

Try this
In Winamp > Ctrl+P (for preferences) > System > Playlists > uncheck "Enqueue as default action" (in the lower right corner)

If that does not help post back with some system specs
Windows Version
Sound Card
DirectX Version

Good Luck!
