   Input Overload

   Reviewing 5.623 (Dec 9, 2011)

   I use AIMP for audio and as I use an external DAC thereby bypassing the PC sound-chip & with a dedicated quality amp & speakers it's easy to spot Winamp’s weaknesses in the audio department.
   
   I now use GOM as my media player & as I have a dedicated ripper, burner & labeller I have no need to use Winamp & it has been removed - It's unlikely to be missed.

   Can Winamp play DVD's? If it can do that it would be a complete media player.
