Whenever I close Winamp5 (properly, not just killing the process), my playlist never gets saved. When I reopen the program, all that is in my playlist is an entry called '%1'. I've tried reinstalling a number of times, and redownloading the installer as well. Any tips on how to fix this?

right click start icon
select properties then general tab
make sure read-only is unchecked -
1. Make sure no files in the Winamp dir are "read-only"
especially: winamp.m3u, winamp.ini, studio.xnf
2. Check your winamp shortcut and make sure it points to winamp.exe and not to a playlist file, or that the shortcut doesn't include any switches or dde messages at the end. The command line should be:
"C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe"
(adjust accordingly, if winamp was not installed to the default dir)
3. Make sure M3U files are properly associated with Winamp.
Winamp -> Prefs -> File Types
Make sure M3U (and PLS) is selected in the list
and that "restore file associations at startup" is checkmarked.
4. Remove/disable extra 3rd-party plugins (if any).
If the problem persists, please include Windows OS in reply.Comment

Fixed a few things, and found the source of the problem. Using WinXP.
All the files were read-only, so I changed that. However the problem was still occuring. I took the advice about the shortcuts, and played with that a bit. Normally I open Winamp by pressing the 'play' button on my keyboard, and that worked fine until I had to reinstall Winamp (files got corrupted). When I open winamp from the start menu, or by going to the actual .exe, it works fine.
I'm using a Logitech keyboard, and I know there's been problems with the media keys before. Whats the correct entry I should have in my players.ini for Winamp5?Comment
