    Pros: Best features include the 12 band EQ, thousands of plugins, my fav is the one for IR remotes. I use the one for Creative Audigy 2 ZS and the entire remote works, so I end up getting a free media center PC.

    Cons: No folders for Bookmarks and Meda RSS feeds.

    Default browser rendering engine is locked to IE, I rather have flexablity use whatever engine e.g.: Opera etc.
    Summary: Winamp is the Firefox (Although I'm a full time Opera browser user since '99) of media players, in functionality for audio and video.

    As mentioned, the plugins, I've also seen plugins for HID devices and Windows media center remotes as well.

    And whoever says its bloated, need to check their facts, e.g.: iTunes is 75.07MB and Winamp is only 9.80MB (Fuly loaded), Lite is only 6.46MB.

    Lately Nullsoft has done a noteworthy job of integrating hundreds of free AOL & CBS radio stations, plus there's the old SHOUTcast as well. And its also a media aggregator, so I can stream all my RSS subscribed podcasts (Go TwiT!) through Winamp as well.

    Go Winamp Devs!
