Hate to cut in on someone elses thread but what's so great about winamp anyway? I dl'd it a few months ago (not sure which version) and just didn't really get what the big deal was. From the way I've hear people rave about it I was expecting it to automaticly play whatever song I wanted to hear while it played with my balls or something. Maybe I'm just missing something.

I started a thread in December 2001 with topic Is Winamp better than MS Media Player?. At the time I too couldn't see what all the fuss was about. But after engaging in that thread, reading it, etc. I decided that Winamp was way better than Media Player. Now, after using Winamp for well over a year, I would never use MS Media Player. I'm using Winamp 2.81.

qcd here... better sound quality, smaller mem footprint, and more customizable (in terms of skins) than winamp 2.xx
