Hi, Dustin.  I actually managed to get my Napster files to play in WinAmp 
completely on accident, but now it works consistently each time.  The short 
version of how it happened is this.

After having some major problems with my WinAmp version 5.8E, I decided to 
uninstall, and then reinstall the program.  Once installed, I selected to 
associate with all file types.  Now, despite the fact that the Napster files 
are technically not supposed to play in anything other than Windows Media 
player, they're working in WinAmp.  Just setting the file types from within 
the program didn't seem to work though.  Be aware though that if you cancel 
your Napster subscription, or try to play the files on a different computer 
that doesn't have the Napster software, the files will not work.  Hope this 
helps.

Caroline
