Hi Barry, Well, I just tried the steps you mentioned in your above email, and when I went to the file menu after highlighting an mp3 file, I found the following Items in the file menu: 1. Add to Windows Media Player List 2. Play 3. Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials Dialog 4. Open with Pull-down 5. Scan with Malware bytes Anti-malware 6. Shared folder cyncronization 7. Send to pull-down 8. New pull-down 9. Create shortcut 10. Delete 11. Rename 12. Properties 13. Close These were all I saw within this menu. There was still no Enqueue and play option. I don't understand why this isn't working. I found a blog post that someone who had this same problem. The only difference was that they didn't have ths issue until they switched from Windows XP to Windows 7. They said that when they used this option with XP, it worked fine. I have XP, so I'm not sure why things aren't working for me. I've pasted the blog posting below so that you can see what I'm referring to. I'm just an average computer user, so I don't really mess around with my operating system's settings. The reason I'm trying to get Winamp to place a track directly below an already existing one, is because I'm in the process of trying to get a dj position with ACB Radio, and they use Winamp for broadcasting. Being able to insert tracks erlier in the playlist rather than at the bottom of it, is ecential, especially if people email me with requests. This way, I'll be able to play what they ask for in a more reasonable time frame without them having to wait through multiple songs. It seems like it should be a simple thing to figure out, but then you know how technology is (smile) Hope the blog post will make at least a little sense. Thanks for taking the time to assist me with this. Mike Rochester, NY.

Then I moved on to Windows 7 and the enqueue in winamp option disappeared from the context menu even I had setup winamp correctly for it. After doing some digging, I narrowed down all the possible causes for this behavior to one program and one simple solution to bring the Enqueue in Winamp back to the context menu. And that one program which is messing the enqueue in winamp in the context menu is Windows Media Player. It seems that somehow it uses brute force to take over all enqueue options for audio files to itself. (Or the context menu simply has hardcoded limit how many options it can show in the first section) But whatever the case is the solution is here. BEHOLD THE SIMPLE SOLUTION: 1. At first you want to make sure your winamp is setup correctly. That means you have "Show Winamp in the folder context menus in Windows Explorer" option selected under Options -> Preferences -> File Types. i/winamp01.png/ 2. Then go to the Shell Options and make sure you have Enqueue in Winamp selected for files. In the following picture you can also see that even the options are selected the Enqueue in Winamp isn't showing on the context menu. i/winamp02.png/ 3. The you need to follow this simple guide how to disable Windows Media Player aka WMP from showing in the context menu. http://windows7themes.net/how-to-rem...text-menu.html And just in case that site for some reason disappears I'll quote it here: Quote: Remove Windows Media Player from Context Menu in Windows 7 Windows 7 can do much more than many people think. Do you know of the "Default Programs" control panel for example? 1. Click on Start and click on Default Programs (optionally enter default programs into the search field) 2. This where you can set many of the default programs in Windows 7, file associations, autoplay settings and much more. 3. Click on Set program access and computer defaults: Choose Windows 7 Default Programs 4. Click on the option Custom 5. Scroll down until you find the entry Choose a default media player 6. Uncheck the options Enable access to this program for Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player Default Windows 7 Media Player You have now successfully removed the entry Add to Windows Media Player list and also Buy Music online. 4. If you did everything correctly, you should be done now. As you can see from the following picture the Enqueue in Winamp now shows up correctly in the Window's context menu and we also got rid of that WMP's own unneeded context menu entries. i/winamp03.png/ IF you want to keep the WMP entries in the context menu, I don't know a solution for that. It might require going to registry files and tweaking context menu from there to give room for Winamp's context menu entry or simply removing the WMP's brute force method of grapping all the enqueue options for audio files to itself. Whatever the case is I'm not going to cover that in this solution. I hope it works for you too as it did for me.

Hi Mike, Try the following. If it doesn't work, please let me know and I'll check to see if there are other relevant settings I have missed. 1. Start Winamp. 2. Press ctrl+p for preferences. 3. Arrow to the Shell Options. 4. Ensure that: Add 'Enqueue & Play' to Winamp's associated file types is checked Set 'Enqueue & Play' as the default file action is not checked Add files into the queue for delayed playback is not checked Insert enqueued files after the currently playing file is checked Leave playback on the currently playing file is checked Start Winamp playing if it is not already is checked Enqueue & Play in Winamp is selected from the list 5. Tab to Close and press enter. 6. Start Windows Explorer, open a folder containing MP3 files and arrow to an MP3 file. 7. Press alt. 8. Arrow to Enqueue and Play in Winamp, and press enter. For me, it is not with the other Winamp options. It is after Open. This should place the selected track after the one which is currently playing.

Quite a while back, I had written to the pc-audio list to find out how to insert a track immediately below the currently playing one in Winamp. Someone on the Pc-audio list, had given me some directions as to how to do this. I followed all the steps they set out in their email message, explaining how to get Winamp to insert a new track below the one that's already playing in the playlist. However, the (enqueue and play in Winamp) option doesn't appear anywhere in the context menu of Windows Explorer for some weird reason. The list member said to go to the shell options under the preferences treeview/dialogue, and checked the check boxes for add enqueue play to Winamp associated filetypes, insert enqueue files after the currently playing file, and leave playback on the currently playing file. Once that was done, I loaded my playlist of songs, pressed enter on the first song in the playlist and The song plaied as normal. While it was playing, I pressed Windows key and E, to open windows explorer and navigated to the folder where the file I wanted to add was located and highlighted the file. But when I pressed alt F to bring up the file menu, I did not see anything that said Enqueue and play in Winamp under the file menu. I even tried going directly to the (my music) folder, which is where all my music is kept, highlighted a file I wanted to add to the playlist, and tried pressing both alt F and using the applications key, but no matter which method I tried, the enqueue and play in Winamp icon was still no where to be found. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Has anyone else ever had this issue with Winamp? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Mike Rochester, NY. Mike Rochester, NY.
