Another way you might be able to do it is to cursor to the file you want to
play.  Then press your applications key and arrow through your options to
the "Open With," choice.  Then arrow down to Winamp and hit enter.  I know
that's harder than making it the default player, but it's at least a work
around.  But like someone said on this list a few days ago, every player
wants to be the automatic default player and will do anything it can to get
to the top of the list apparently except for Winamp.

Lou:

I had my XYL help me wihh this, and we couldn't get the default to work,
unless we specified exact file types for Winamp to associate with.  In fact,
we couldn't get the "associate with all file types" option to work either.

So, the work-around I finally decided on was to create a shortcut for
winamp, and then use the "open file" option to select the file I want to
play, and then have it play through Winamp.

This sure seems harder than it really should be, but it appears to be  the
easiest thing to do right now, rather than possibly creating other
unanticipated problems.

Thanks to you and everyone on the list for tolerating this off topic thread.

Hopefully, others will benefit from this discussion as well by learning
about what I couldn't get to work for me, and what I figured out as a doable
workaround.
