Hey there Barry,
I just check, and the (show winamp actions) checkbox under filetypes is
checked, but the options you mention still don't show.

Hi Mike,
I thought it was only Enqueue and Play you were missing, but you also don't
have any of the default Winamp entries such as Play in Winamp, Enqueue in
Winamp and Add to Winamp's Bookmark list.
In the File Types options, ensure that Show Winamp actions in the Folder
Context Menus is checked. If that doesn't do it, let me know.
Thanks,
Barry Chapman

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.

Enqueue In Winamp not showing in context menu for files - SOLUTION
I used to have XP for quite some time and the enqueue in winamp used to show
up in
the context menu just fine. 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.

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.

Subject: Re: enqueue and play does not show in context menu
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.
Thanks,
Barry Chapman

Subject: enqueue and play does not show in context menu
Hi fellow list members,
First of all, I hope that everyone has had a nice Christmas and that 2014
will bring you happiness and good fortune. 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.
