When you click on your Winamp icon again, it should open up a second Winamp media player. That is what you wanted, right?

Launch WinAmp again from the start menu
...or...
Hit CTRL ALT N while WinAMp is active.

Either will give you a second instance -- look carefully as it may be atop your first instance (drag it to expose it).
