Problems with Winamp

[snugglekitty]

I use WinAmp on my laptop and desktop. However, since I got the new laptop with Windows Vista (not my favorite thing about it) WinAmp does not seem to want to see my music collection. When I click "Add media to library" nothing happens. It's inconvenient to have to figure out what I want to listen to and click on different folder under "Play file" or "Play folder" - being able to see everything is a big part of why I LIKE Winamp. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or do you have a music player you like better? Other than the installed "MediaCenter" which I find very clunky?

Yes, I am using the latest version. Yes, I reinstalled it. No, it's not the professional version.

If you right-click on WinAmp's executable, choose Properties, then go to the Compatibility tab, see if it works by either setting it to run as Windows XP, or clicking the box to run in administrator mode

Thanks for the suggestions! Sadly they did not work. But at least it was something to try.

Also, I find it pleasingly Discordian that your journal has a post saying "friends only, comment to be added" with non-friend comments disabled. :)

I like my journal to be a closely-held mystery, wrapped in an enigma, concealed in questions, and smothered in gravy, Texas-style.

Mmm, chicken-fried blog. Tasty!
