How To Listen To Music Using Winamp

Winamp is a free music player available online. It plays MP3s, CD music, and streaming audio from the Internet.

1. Download and install the latest version of Winamp at http://www.winamp.com

2. Open any folder on your hard drive that contains a selection of songs.

3. Right-click on each song and select Enqueue in Winamp. Winamp will create a play list of songs in the order you load them.

4. Right-click on a folder and select Play in Winamp if you wish to play all songs inside that folder. Your music will begin playing almost immediately, in alphabetical order (titles that start with numbers will play first).

5. Use Winamp to listen to a CD by right-clicking in the upper part of the Winamp window. Then move your cursor to hover over the word Play in the resulting pop-up window, and select Audio CD from the fly-out window.

6. Start up your Internet connection before using Winamp, and the clever program will connect to the Compact Disc DataBase (CDDB) and load the artist and song title information on the CD in your drive.
