Making WINAMP play on my computer.

Post by Gary Ulinskas »

(This was previously posted under "Steel Players) My system is Windows XP
I went to one of the music download sites given in one of the strings on this website and had to download WINAMP 3 in order to hear the music. The black WINAMP menu box comes up with the music file shown in the playlist, but when I click the PLAY button, no sound comes out. WINAMP seems to have superseded my Windows Media Player, because even if I click the WMP icon for method of download, WINAMP rears its ugly head on my screen. I know my computer is OK because if I download with REAL Player, everything works find. How do I make WINAMP work?
P.S. I went to the WINAMP.COM website hoping to find a "help" or "contact us" icon, but I couldn't find any.
Thanks

Gary, Looking at the controls on the Winamp player, locate and clik on the "open file" control. (Looks like a vertical-pointing arrowhead with a horizontal line beneath)Inside that file, there should be a "demo"folder icon that u can clik on, which will play a short sound file that U should hear. Does that work?
