Hello,

If you have winamp installed on each computer, you'll probably need to make 
sure that the winamp on your husband's computer knows where to look for 
media.  Here's something to try:
Open up preferences.
Under general preferences go to media library.
Shift-tab and arrow to the watch folders tab.
Now press tab thrice and see if the music folder on your computer is in the 
list.
If not, tab to the add button and press the spacebar to find your folder(s) 
to add.

Hope this helps.
