Just click on the "
+file" button and hold down your mouse button. You'll see that two other buttons appear above it labeled "
+dir" and "
+url". Slide the mouse cursor up to the "
+dir?" button while holding down the mouse button and then release the mouse button. A selector window will come up - navigate through it until you find the directory with all your MP3 files in it. If you want to put
all your files in all the sub-directories into one playlist, then make sure the "
Recurse sub-directories" check-box in the selector window is checked, then select your directory. All the files in that directory and in all the directories underneath it will be added to your playlist.

If your playlist isn't already displayed, click the "
PL" button to display it. Then on the playlist window, either click the
+FILE button and add the files one at a time or click the
+DIR button (click
+FILE and then slide up) to add a whole directory (and optionally its sub-directories).
To start a new list, click the Load List button, and slide up to
New List.

Make sure that in the main window, the small green light in the "
Shuffle" button is not on. If you find that it's on, simply click it to turn off Shuffle mode. Your list should now play in order since Shuffle mode plays the list in random order.
Here's some more info from one of our members, first-hand experience that might help someone else.
(What this site and its FAQs are all about)"If you drag a group of say, 10 songs labled 1.mp3 - 10.mp3 into the playlist window, you would think that they would play in order...but the actual file that you clicked and dragged on will be first, example. 1-10 are highlighted, and you click on file #3 to drag the list in, well your playlist would be arranged 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2...so if you drag a list of files in the correct order into the playlist, always drag by the first file in the list that you want played.
that might be useless info, but it bugged the hell out of me for a while, so i figured i would share."

got feedback?Wow, this additional information was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had no idea that simply clicking the first file dragged would solve this little annoyance. Seriously, I thought I would have to make a playlist for every bit of music I wanted to play in a certain order. Thank you very much oxyprazolam.

Thanx a million, oxyprazolam, that drag and drop issue annoyed the crap out of me as well.

I didn't find a Shuffle button, but found "Shuffle" was checked on the pull-down menu for "Play" at the top of the player -- many thanks.

Just place the zip files that you downloaded into the "skins" section under your Winamp directory (ex: C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins) and then when Winamp is running, press Alt-S to browse your skins. A list will pop up and you can just click on each name and see the skin applied to Winamp.
