When I download wavs my winamplayer comes up butI get an error message that says" Couldn't find destination format"
Probably simple fix,but I am not that knowledgable.

Do you have a netscape browser installed? This would be where your default installation would be at. If there is no netscape installed on your machine it doesn't know where to go.

I believe there is a setting in WINAMP where you can choose what kind of files you want WINAMP to open, WAV, MP3 etc. Maybe WAV isn't selected?

Ok, after some research, I think there are two possible solutions. The first is to install "mpeg.exe" (winamp mpeg???) and this should reconfigure the winamp player.

WinAmp plays now also MP3 coded files with the ending wav.
