You can bookmark multimedia files in Winamp, creating a "Favorites"-like menu.

To bookmark a multimedia file, select it in the play-list window and press ALT-I.

To play a file from your bookmarks, right-click on the main Winamp menu, choose "Play", then "Bookmark", then select the name of your desired file.

To edit your bookmarks list, press CONTROL-ALT-I from within Winamp. You can edit or remove entries, or you can "Open" entries (to play the file) or "Enqueue" entries to add them to your current play-list.

If you want further bookmark capabilities, consider browsing the Winamp plug-ins at http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/ and searching for "bookmark". Several multimedia file organization tools are available for download.
