    So I don't really feel like installing this. What makes it better than Winamp 2.9x?

        Lessee...

        MUCH better at video, not that I use Winamp for video.

        Everything is better integrated...

        It's what Winamp 3 wanted to be, without the horrifying drek that was Winamp 3.

        And, unlike Winamp2, it no longer looks like a first-year engineer designed it... sharp edges and cluttered interface and all.

          Well, I use Winamp 2 for music, and Samami/MPC for video. I've been thinking a new video player might be nice, but haven't found one I really think I should switch to.

              You can always remove the media library if you don't like it. All modules and plug-ins are removable.

                I haven't tried this yet, but can it play real and/or quicktime if the codecs are installed?

                  Nothing except MPC can play real/quicktime.

                  My biggest wish is that the "anonymous" author of Quicktime Alternative and Real Alternative would provide them as ACTUAL codecs instead of MPC plugins.

                        No, he looked at the screenies and decided based on that.

                          Currently using 2.90
                          Give me a GOOD reason to change
                          I ONLY use it to listen to MP3's.
                          I almost never see it since I use a remote pluging that lets me controll it with ANY of my remotes (since they are all Panasonic ones )

                          Those reasons you (Gurm) stated above are really weak and fuzzy

                            I have found feature that didn't workand one that I didn't like. I tried to rip a CD to AAC file (whatever that is, I was just curious about it) and ... it didn't work. But before that I tried to change the rip speed to 8x and it said:

                            this feature in not availble in this version. please purchase WinAmp Pro to enable ripped faster than 2x.

                            Or something like that.

                            to this I say .... booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooo...

                              Oh yeah, there's a crack out for it already. ROFLMAO. I wondered what the crack was for.
