as `%_folderpath%\%_filename% leads to something like `C:\Users\Abc\Downloads\Bravo Hits 114 - 2021\16 - Ti Amo - Pietro Lombardi`  
(which I think is an invalid syntax because of the double backslash) but misses the filename extension, I am not sure whether your player understands that.  
Or, before we go on with trial and error, the search words "tool winamp" will lead to some threads, e.g. this one:

> [@Winamp As Default Mp3tag Player](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/winamp-as-default-mp3tag-player/19799):
>
> Running Mp3tag v2.86 and Winamp Lite v5.65 on Windows 7. File -\> Options -\> Tools Name=Winamp, path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe, and parameter = /PLAY "%\_path%". When I right-click a file in Mp3tag and left-click PLAY, the Winamp window appears, but with the name of whatever mp3 file was previously playing, and no sound until I click Play. Then it plays that previous file. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
