That's what you call mass media · Winamp can play a huge variety of audio and video formats right out of the box... err... out of the installation. · You get access to hundreds of free audio and video channels in the Media Library. This ain't your father's library. · Winamp can burn your music to CDs. · Winamp makes it easy to create and manage your favorite songs through playlists. Yes, you can be your own DJ. · Winamp allows you to extend it's functionality through the use of "plug-ins" Its like the Mr. Potato Head of music. · Winamp will allow you to alter the sound of your music through a built-in Equalizer. An audio receiver right on your PC. · Winamp allows you to watch visual effects that are driven from your music with Visualizations. From flaming fireballs to screaming strobe effects, its all there.

    Invincible. I have been using it since v1.9x (good old Sonique times, lol) and tried a bunch of alternatives, even MediaMonkey and that geek toy foobar2000. I've always switched back to my beloved Winamp. Nothing more to say, I guess...

    Works great and the media library is really fast at updating the metadata. It managed to index all of my 1316 songs within a minute, something WLM does in roughly 5 minutes.

    Somehow Windows Mediaplayer 11 has better sound quality, but I hate the media library that it has build in to it. Thats why I use Winamp cos it has very good medialibrary, good skins and great plugins.

    Najlepszy program odtwarzający muzykę i pobierający stacje radiowe. Używam od około 10 lat, nigdy nie zmieniałem, głównie za sprawą idealnie przemyślanego interfejsu oraz częstej ilości aktualizacji. Co najważniejsze - w pełni darmowy i od niedawna w całości po Polsku.

    I love using Winamp, it uses such little amounts of RAM, but has great performance when playing media, ClassicPro is a must, with its playlist search, which is is extremely handy.

    I never quite get what this little player is upto? No album art no easy management. When iTunes get you coverflow WMP gets your organized view and let me not start about Zune Player why is winamp lacking. YOU will never CATCH ME using this EVER.
