Al, they are NOT "Winamp" songs. They are "MIDI" files (.mid) and they just happen to play with your WinAmp buexause that is set as the "defult player" for MIDI files.

But, opening BIAB and doing as I stated will play the files in BIAB and give all the chords, etc. The one you sent me worked perfect in BIAB.

Going back to WinAmp. That is only a "media player" program, which means it will play various "media" files or song files and will work with some streaming internet radio services. But, It's not a unique program. In my PC, the Windows Media Player is set as the default MIDI player, and if I just doubleclick on a midi file it will automatically come up and play the file. HOwever, if I want to import and play that file in another program, suchas BIAB, all I have to do is start BIAB and then do as I noted. If your BIAB does not have the "play MIDI file" option, it must be a very old version (??)
