Winamp kicks more than llama .. backside

Pros: works.

well..thats too basic

on *****.

the skins tha can be found are ALL made by winamp users. I have used winamp for at least 3 years and its never failed me. what I personally like most about it is if i am downloading a movie or an mp3 or somthing at more than 2x playing speed (basicaly if it is 1 hr movie, it downloads in 30mins), winamp can play the movie while it is still downloading without problems, unless the download stops and winamp runs out of file to play.

Also, i use a plugin for winamp, so i can plug my tape deck into my pc both ways (sound into tapedeck from pc and from pc to tapedeck) and mute the line in so i do not get feedback, and winamp can play the line in sound while a tape is playing and the sound from the pc goes directly into the soundsystem which is also plugged into my pc via jack-splitters.

Plugins have been (and are still being) written for winamp to play game audio tracks in foreign format, for example, winamp + a certain plugin which i will not name = listen to Unreal Tournament soundtracks.

the best thing about this player is it is easy to use. i installed this on a friends pc, told them nothing about it and the next week, i got an email saying "Thanks for installing winamp, i can use it fullly without problems".

Fast, effecient Media Library, playlist, Equaliser and Internet Browsing features.

has excessive support for Plug and Play devices such as IPod (sorry for swearing), Pendrives, CD's, I think there is plugins for DVD's, CD+G's, Creative media players, USB harddrives, etc.

I have the media library set up on a network computer (little p3 slot processor with touchscreen and Onscreen Keyboard so the machine can be used as a Free network jukebox. winamp is so low-resource hungry that i also have a SETI@Home set running on it as a screensaver.

Cons: None of these are really worth writing down but i have nothing better to do, so:

I cannot get global hotkeys to work..but I think thats my error

its not popular enough

people who badmouth winamp should be shot!

doesnt come with windows as a package extention

works and easy to use

Pros: i found this program realy easy to use and it works with no problem!

I found that between this and "Easy MP3 Sound Recorder", this is the better choice. Easy MP3 Sound Recorder moans that it has an "invalid floating point" after 5 recordings. in this case, restarting the program helps. this program will never crash or moan.
