Where are the music files in winamp...?

.... and what is the best way to move them to another computer?

My computer is having some power issues and it has managed to corrupt the WinAmp program. I have another computer but not sure the best way to move them over. Any suggestions?

Update:

Thanks Gordon, the only problem is that WinAmp is corrupted and as soon as it loads up, you get an error message that "Winamp has encountered a problem and needs to close" then it locks up.

Any other suggestions would be helpful

    Let me check.

    They could be anywhere on your hard drive. Probably in the My Music folder. You can check for yourself. Open Winamp and the Media Library. Highlight 'Music' in the left pane. Now, right click on any song, then choose View File Info on the menu that pops up. At the top of the dialog box that opens is a fully qualified file name showing the drive and folder that holds the actual music file.
