I use to use Winamp all the time when it first appeared on the scene. It was the best MP3 player available, and the skins and plugins you could get made it even better.
ReplyDeleteI have been using VLC more now since it pretty much as most of the media formats covered, which makes it easy if you change formats regularily or you download file you may not be able to play in another media player.
