Why does everyone like WinAmp? There's nothing special about it in the least (except the fact that it plays PSF files, but that's besides the point.) Overall, Windows Media Player has every advantage over it. Can someone tell me what's so cool about WinAmp?

All_For_Orlando
Winamp is pertty cool, WMP wont work on my comp anymore.

§pearhead
I'm using Media Player right now happy

All_For_Orlando
Im listening to ROn White "They call me tater salad" on Winamp smile

looks better, more opacity and style options....better layout, easier to navigate media library, CD ripping options, quick burning, Searchable media library, none of those stupid flashing swirling colours.

all in all its just a better layout than WMP

Silver Stardust
I actually use iTunes for music now, since it's the software my iPod uses yes

JKozzy
What version of WMP did you use? blink
There's the easiest media library known to man, it's searchable too, no flashing colors... and it rips CDs like a charm at lossless quality, 320~800 KB/s

Real
yeah, but now wmp 9 copy protects EVERYTHING...so its annoying...i rip using nero 6 ultra, use wmp for music and mpegs, n use power dvd for dvds (obviously) and quicktime for .mov files...i also have divx pro for divx files...
i use the best program for each thing

VENOMfan
exactly, I got...radioactive...or somthing for my layout...

JKozzy
I have DIVX Pro and QT Pro too, obviously for the respective files.

WMP9 doesn't copy protect everything.... see attachment. It's called "options".

what is this winamp? embarrasment

Discos
I've been using winamp since the the turn of the century smile

I think its great, simply perhaps because of the skins which you can get

Discos - has a Nazgul skin yes

TOH
When you have a low end computer, you can easily notice the difference stick out tongue

Silver Stardust
I used to always make Winamp skins when I was bored yes

TOH
Ok.. I've made a KMC Winamp Skin.. please hold the laugh! embarrasment

silver_tears
You can find wmp skins too stick out tongue

Silver Stardust
That's awesome yes I'd use it laughing out loud

silver_tears
I wanna see eek!

TOH
Here it is...

Silver Stardust
laughing out loud that's great!

silver_tears
I cant see it, but then again I dont have winamp stick out tongue

Silver Stardust
stick out tongue it came installed on my comp.

TOH
You are kind.... embarrasment

Discos
winamp skins are a nightmare to make, i tried once and make a shit pot of it

JKozzy
I like the WMP skins better than WinAmp, they're actual "skins" not pictures

im not burlyman
cause i use the winamp skin that minimises to just a little bar across the bottom of my screen and i set it to stay on top big grin

winamp has internet tv and radio too

Daedalus
Windows Media Player forever baby!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA evil face

Clovie
it was NOT invented by bill gates.
enough reason for me.
and i'm using winamp for 5 or 6 years and i got used to it.
never liked windows media player sick

yerssot
I believe the correct question would be... How come anyone can even like Windows Media Player?

Discos
windows media is not that bad yerssot, I use it to copy CD's and whatnot but the question should really be

Discos - "how could anyone like realplayer"

yerssot
I doubt anyone likes realplayer messed

Discos
I know, roll eyes (sarcastic)

I used to change winamp skin every time I wanted to have my list repeating or in shuffle order - I had to change it from the Nazgul skin back to the original skin due to taking a while to find the bloody shuffle button on the nazgul skin (it was soo faint)

JKozzy
yes

JKozzy
Bill Gates didn't invent WMP, it was just the company... and who cares? It's the best out there, really came along in the past few years. And Realplayer blows, too little too late.

Yawn
Ditto

Silver Stardust
Real Player likes to crash my computer. Therefore, I never use it if I can help it.

Discos
sorry guys - but what is WMP?

Silver Stardust
Windows Media Player

Discos
oh right......christ am thick lol

yeah skins for them are easy enough to come across

Daedalus
I was being sarcastic.
