   WinAmp is a festering steaming pile of doggie doo, we used to use it @ home to sync our iPods, purely for the fact that it wasn't iTunes, but I can't think that we ever actually got it to play any content, it just crackles with static like it sounds when you get buffer underruns. I was never that intersted in actually getting it to play anything, it was just a means to an end for us, I am not that anal about media players I usualy use media player classic. But 1 day I thought right I am going to get this thing to play, I searched on-line fiddled with output plugins buffer ETC, but it was still the same, and oh yes it crashes all the time, it does look nice though. And I am talking about the full 5.5 not the beta.

   It's true that Winamp is bloated even for its Lite version. It was a very good AUDIO player. Now it's more like a media suite with usseless visualization, video support, media manager, CD ripper, and all the remaining craps.
   
   But one thing I consider it irreplaceable is that its capability as an audio player and with all of thoe various audio format plugins.
   
   Two tips for those who want to make Winamp loads faster and uses much less memory:
   
   - Use the Lite version of Winamp.
   
   - Use only classic skin.
   
   - Move all unused & rarely plugin DLL files OUT of the plugins folder and into a separate folder. e.g. "Disabled Plugins".
   
   IMO, there should have been an "Audio Edition" of Winamp Lite where it serves as an audio-only player like the old Winamp. Of course, without the CD ripper and visualization crap.

   Winamp was good 100 years ago, Now its bloated with crap and is not always stable. If u want a great mp3player check out AIMP.

   Reviewing 5.50 Build 1600 Beta Preview 3 (Oct 9, 2007)

   well, its a beta software and of course that was to have some bugs but so far Im liking it. I use winamp at almost two years now and always updated. I sure hope that the final release of this one comes out soon

   Anyway .. As a notifier it's does what it's supposed to do. Lots of options and tweaks and a polished look too. It'll even tell you the numer of unread mail directly on the systray icon if you want it to. I like it!The mail client part can preview, sort and notify according to rules, delete spam and lots of other things. This should be a killer app, but ..sexy lingerie
