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 WINAMP seems to have superseded my Windows Media Player, because even if I click the WMP icon for method of download, WINAMP rears its ugly head on my screen.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.

I could not get the latest version of Winamp to work on my Windows 98 machine. I don't remember the exact problem, but I think
that I couldn't get any sound. I then got an earlier version (2.81) and it works fine. Just as a check I tried installing the more recent version on my wife's Windows ME machine, and again I couldn't get it to work. I've used Winamp to listen to SteelRadio; it's a bit slow on my 38,8 modem, but is listenable; it works fine on a faster connection.

Thanks Chas & Cairo.
Forgot to mention that my computer is a Windows XP and maybe that has something to do with it. I will try your suggestions.

Gary- I have Windows Xp and Winamp and I love it.Have you checked your volume icon to see if it is muted. It does happen, it happened to me, cliked off the mute and then it worked fine. There is a mute button on your keyboard too, that might have been accidently hit....al  |

| Just a suggestion to anyone who has upgraded to winamp 3. Because of it's video capability and the way that it's set up, it tends to be much slower than any of the winamp 2 series. I tried it and found that if you just want to use it for playing mp3's and wavs, winamp version 290 is much faster. |
