Sounds like Media Player is associated with all your media files by default. Which version of windows are you running?

If that doesn't work, I'll tell you how to make it your default player in Windows.

For anyone else, on Windows 7 do the following to make your associations stick:
Click start then in the search box type Winamp. When it's selected, using up or down arrow, then use the applications key or right click then select Run As Administrator.
Then when Winamp is running, you can set your preferences and they should stick, if they didn't do so before.

Another way to do this is to go into windows media player and uncheck anything that it's grabbing, and then go back into Winamp, make sure all the file associations you want are checked, and that should fix the problem for good.
