Winamp

[luish]

I wanted to know what player do you use for playing music, CD's and Mp3's.
I use Winamp v2.81 and I wanted to try the new v3.0 but it was to heavy, I just want a player that plays my files is simple and has nice features, what do you think ?

" too heavy " - in what sense ? I find it very useful with MD3 (version2.0) skin

winamp

think he says 'heavy' as the way it skins now makes a littel more demands of system than 2.x did.......

Have you tried mymp3 pro? made by Steinberg the unadulterated masters of music editing and producing s/w!! There is a free version and an expensive one. It has lots of nice features and lists generes and stuff.

Remember, you gota try it to love it!!

Used Winamp for more than 3 years, but the interface is way to clunky.
Hate to say it but Media player ( especially version 9) wins hands down ,especially with extra visual downloads

Winamp3 with the MMD3 skin is pretty sweet looking and is quite functional. I also use MusicMatch Jukebox but that doesn't really fill your need for a simple music player. How much different is WMP9 from WMP8 because I don't like the clunky interface of WMP8.

Yer all mad

Winamp 2.81 is when winamp took away the ability to easily disable the winamp agent and hid it out of view

also this bug effects winamp 2.81 onwards

winamp 2.80 is much better IMHO

I want to thank Peter and Case who made this possible.

Foobar2000 is a new compact, fast developing audio player for Windows 2000/XP developed by Peter Pawlowski.
