I followed the instructions perfectly I think.
I made a folder in my warzone folder titled, music.
Inside I have music.wpl which looks like this inside.
[game]
path=.
shuffle=yes
gzt_rebirth.ogg
gzt-blackwinter.ogg
michaelb-battle_sequence.ogg
michaelb-fire_and_slaughter.ogg
tonaldiscrepancy-phlogiston.ogg
tonaldiscrepancy-sunrise_on_a_cloudy_day.mp3
[menu]
path=.
gzt_rebirth.ogg
All music files are inside the music folder as well. I don't understand why this isnt working right. Please help me.

yes, near as I can tell. I have gone over it like ten times now looking for error.
I am also running the latest version and have windows XP.

Try starting with --debug all --debugfile warzone.log and post that file here.

Directly after the sound initialisation (where it reports the OpenAL version) there should be a line similar too:
wz: adding song music/Nexus.ogg
This line is even present when the file doesn't exist (eg. the path is wrong).
So what I think is that your music.wpl is in the wrong position.
Your Warzone's search paths are:
wz: Search paths:
wz: [C:\Documents and Settings\Jacob\My Documents\Warzone 2100\]
wz: [C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\mods/global\grim.wz]
wz: [C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\mp.wz]
wz: [C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\]
wz: [C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\warzone.wz]
Which means that you could put your playlist into one of the following paths:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jacob\My Documents\Warzone 2100\music\music.wpl
C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\music\music.wpl
Make sure that the playlist's filename is exactly music\music.wpl. This is case __sensitive__ (i.e. mUSic\Music.WPL won't work).

AH! Didn't know it is case sensitive. My music folder is spelt Music. Doh!

I assume it works now?
Generally all filenames in Warzone are case sensitive. There is some fallback code for Windows, but it doesn't work very well, is currently not used everywhere and will be removed at all in 2.1.

And still there is no sign of "adding song" in the debug output? That's really odd...

OK, issue is resolved now. I fiddled with some stuff and it worked all of a sudden. Not sure why lol. Thanks for help, I really appreciate it.
