try changing the name extension from .mpga to .mp3, and if you can't do that, right click on the song title and go to "play in winamp"

I see what your problem is, and it is rather easy to fix, the solution depending a little bit on what version of Windows you have.
Go to the folder where these songs are. Go up to the top toolbar and click "View". You'll get a pulldown menu - select "Options". Select the "View" tab here. Now, this is where different versions of Windows differ. Find a box that says either "hide" or "show" file extensions. Select it so it SHOWS file extensions. POOF! From now on all your files will be listed by name - with the file extension behind it (ex: 'resume.doc' or 'Girls - Eminem.mp3'). Now all you have to do is 'right click' on those songs and rename their extensions from mpeg or whatever to mp3.
As you can imagine, some times people who post mp3's on their sites will rename the extensions of mp3's (to stop the moderators from tearing them down) to more common (and legal) extensions. Know what I'm sayin?...

It happens to me sometimes, I found that it was RealPlayer fucking it up. Try and unistalling the mpga extenstion from your file types. It's in 'Folder options' in the control panel.
