I hate the bloatware response. "I don't like musicmatch because it's bloatware." "I still use win2000 because XP is all bloat." "I still use Winamp 2.8 because I'm cool and the new version is bloaty." It doesn't even mean anything anymore. People just say it for the hell of it.

I disagree.

compared to WinAmp (any version... I'm using the latest version ATM), MusicMatch is increadibly bloated. it doesn't run nearly as fast or as quietly as WinAmp does.

stop saying WinAmp, it's Winamp

I'm runing Win2kPro as it suits me fine. Some of my friends have had their WinXp installs go bad after time but some had had their Win2Kpro installs go bad also 😛. I'd rather not upgrade when things work out for me and doesn't involve spending more £££.

I run Winamp 2.76. Works great for what I want. I have an iPod so thus iTunes and hardly ever use that. I only use that to transfer music about to the iPod. Use it to rip my CD's as I get it all titled up and such though. WinAmp is my music player. Same thing for laptop. Uses vey little resources nad iTunes kind of hugs it and spikes it a lot.

*shrug* That's simply why I don't like it. I don't say things for the hell of it, though you apparently flame people for that reason. The software takes up too much space and has a plethora of features which I don't want and wouldn't use, and which serve only to make the UI more complicated and difficult to navigate. These things also help it to run slower. In other words, it's bloatware.

This wasn't a personal attack on you, nor was it a flame. I was simply making an observation.
