Comment:
Since I installed windows xp, I cant get my mp3's to play. It says it cant open file. I tried using winamp and opening with different programs but nothing. This has happened to me before but I cant for the life of me remember what happened or how I fixed it. Help much appreciated

What Icon do your MP3s have? ie do they have a File Association?
Have you checked the File Types in the Preferences of WMP and\Winamp?
Do you have Real Player (or Quick Time)on your computer?

Decide which Player you want to use for your MP3s then look in its Prefernces or Options - somewhere it'll have a list of File Types - put a check against MP3
