Winamp rocks! This is the media player for almost all your needs. The only thing I don't use it for is DVDs (although there is a plugin on the Winamp site if you want to use it). If you have the codecs installed Winamp will play anything WMP will play (well so far for me, however doesn't play media in the web browser - I use Real Alternative Player for that). So you can get rid of WMP completely (remove it from your next Windows reinstall - google for nLite). Winamp is far less system hungry than WMP (10 anyway, I have't tried WMP11 yet), especially in oldschool (classic-v2.x) mode. My brother runs it (v5.22 I think) on his 1Ghz celery with no worries (plays continuosly even when doing other stuff). I used to play games like Quake4 and HalfLife 2 with Winamp playing MP3s in the background with no worries (try doing that on my computer with WMP! - not likely!)

Seriously guys, if you don't like the features of the new version, just download 5.1 LITE package. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT REASON TO USE v2. Or just download the full version and use the classic skin if you want faster loading. Download here: http://winamp.com/player/free.php

If you prefer the old but light and reliable 2.9x version look for it at http://www.oldversion.com/

I don't like the new version of Winamp at all. Bloat ware. I actually like Windows Media Player 10 much better for an all in one media app. The older 2.x versions were great, and there used to be a link on the winamp page to download the older versions, but there isn't any more. If your a fan of programs like Music Match, then this could be for you. *During the setup, you can customize the installation type to perform and look like the older versions, but they should just offer a different download. Perhaps a full and a lite version. I give the older versions a 10.

Still using version 2.91, purely for music playback. A bit outdated now, but still kicks the llama's watusi.

I have used this since v2, which was many years ago. And it's the best Audio player. Perfect!

Winamp is a cool player.I use it mainly to play my mp3 music files and the sound quality is brilliant. It is also good for watching Internet TV,you can find some good films on occasionally. What more can I say,it's stylish amd reliable and supports many file formats.

Winamp 3 is a big improvement over Winamp 2. I love the skins and the fadeou/in feature. It works better than a lot of others that you have to pay for. I highly recommend it.
