unspecified enhancements

Pros: I've had this program for years and had used it as my No. 1 player for most of that time, but now I'm going to use something else.

Cons: The 'unspecified enhancements' mean in my case that I get stuck with the 'classic' skin, I really don't like that one, I tried uninstalling it, re-installing 5.53 and all I get is the 'classic'. I tried downloading the set up file again, from the homepage, no difference made. There are no options in the installation process or preferences to change the skin, I was quite happy with Winamp in it's 'modern' skin that I've had for some time, I was quite happy with Winamp as I've used it for about 6 years now. This update with it's 'unspecified enhancements' gives me an extra box to uncheck on install because I don't want the toolbar/tell everyone online that I have winamp and am not playing any music currently because I can't get the skin I want add-on and no choice on skins. If this update has fixed some bugs, all well and good, they were bugs that I didn't know that it had, but I do know that this update is buggy.

I understand that free programs will go looking for 'sponsors' to pay for their continued updating, but just give me back the option of a minor skin change, please? I'm using XP Pro on a custom built PC.

Good source for additional track info

Pros: Still playing with it, will reserve judgment on it until had more time, seems OK, some limitations on which players it works with, but for those that are compatible it makes finding info on more popular artists easier, more obscure acts may be a lot harder to find additional info/tags on using this software.

Cons: There is a 2.04 version, for free(Windows only) at freewaregenius DOT com
