How Do I Get My Winamp Playlist To Play In Order?

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."

  • 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.

  • 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.
