I don't think that it is really appropriate to discuss something that is undeniably an act of stealing and completely off topic, no matter how widespread it may be.

MP3s are not, by definition, "an act of stealing", gian. He could have a completely legal collection of free music of which there is a lot available on the web (though I do doubt it :-)).

As for the original problem, have you tried a search for *.mp3 in your Start->Find files and folders.

Wow... you sound like my mom dr_563, Just because it is music doesn't mean it automatically gets put in the "my music" folder *rolleyes*

I tried to look there but i can,t get them out. It's like Music match hides them from other applications. In the Start -Find i get thier location .but when i try to play them on winamp they don't get loaded so they can't play. About stealing i don't know what to say....But i'm not a thief

I still have no idea what your problem is. I mean, I've never heard of any program "hiding" mp3s from others. What exactly do you mean? Do you mean that when you click on them music match loads instead of winamp? If so, that's just file associations, and is easily fixed. You need to describe your problem more fully if you want help.

Start winamp, click the add directory button, browse to the directory the mp3s are in, click ok.

OR, start winamp, use windows explorer to open the directory the mp3s are in, select all of them by dragging that selection box around them, drag them into winamps playlist.

Or uninstall Music Match.
