The main reason I use Winamp 5 is the Dj'ing effect. can start playing next track before the completion of the track in play now.

Winamp Doesnt Play Vedios properly & again It really messes the output at high Sound !
It also Consumes a lot of resources.
I personally Never liked Winamp!

I would rather go for Windows Media Player....Its free & has very good features.

absolutely. media player 10 is by far the best audio player. i used to run winamp earlier but it simply cannot match the sound quality of mp10.

does anybody know if a new version of media player is being launched? i had read it was supposed to be included with longhorn, but since thats gonna take long, MS will release the player first.

Winamp and WMP10 are nothing when compared to J.River Media Center 11.0
It is much much powerful than winamp in terms of functionalities.
It is basically a powerful audio player supporting almost all music formats.
And also support some video files and pictures.
I use it for playing my big collection of MP3 songs.

Winamp lite is useful in some cases when I want to test some music files quickly. It will good if they make it some more lite.

winamp 2 series was a very good media player. the lightest! but winamp 3 onwards..the cpu consumption was a bit on the higher side. i like this media player very much. the only sore point are the video playback.

the sound quality of WMP is better than winamp coz there are integratted audio plugins (like SRS WOW..etc) in WMP which makes it consume more resources. winamp can give the same quality but wid plugins.
