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?

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

I'm using Media Player right now

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

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

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

What version of WMP did you use?
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

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

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

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?

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

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

Discos - has a Nazgul skin

When you have a low end computer, you can easily notice the difference

I used to always make Winamp skins when I was bored

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

You can find wmp skins too

That's awesome I'd use it

I wanna see

Here it is...

that's great!

I cant see it, but then again I dont have winamp

it came installed on my comp.

You are kind....

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

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

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

winamp has internet tv and radio too

Windows Media Player forever baby!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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

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

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"

I doubt anyone likes realplayer

I know,

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)

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.

Ditto

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

sorry guys - but what is WMP?

Windows Media Player

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

yeah skins for them are easy enough to come across

I was being sarcastic.
