Are you sure they are mp3 files, like, end with .mp3?

you can add MP3's ive added some, maybe the ones Demz is trying to add are corrupt or something.  Do they play ok in normal players like WinAmp Demz?

No, you can use mp3's. I was using them last night to make a couple.

Try adding some other songs .... mabbe there may be a bigger problem. If u can then there is a problem with those songs prolly or its (in)compatibility.

The (mp3) sounds displayed in the dialog box have nothing to do with Messenger Plus!; it is just a normal Windows open file dialog box which lists sounds by their filename, nothing more (so no check is performed either to see if it is even a valid (mp3) sound).

Thus as Brian suggested:

And also, make sure those missing files of yours aren't hidden and/or that you also have the option "show hidden files" in the windows explorer settings checked.

If you do mean something else, then please elaborate more and take a screenshot of what you exactly mean ;)

-----------------------------------------

As for all the other suggestions, they all deal about formats, sizes, compatibility, etc. (and are often wrong). All these suggestions and questions have nothing to do with the problem reported by Demz because, as I said in the first paragraph, nothing is checked in the open file dialog. The dialog simply lists files by name as they are provided by Windows itself, nothing more...

no, you can add all the filetypes supported by the Libsndfile library, see http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/. (Even a simply check in Messenger Plus! itself; simply trying to add a sound, would have revealed that. So check these things first before saying something like that)

Again, not true. Check these things first before assuming something...
