    This player is the best for mp3's. I prefer the Modern skin over the new Bento one. I've been using this player for the last 10 years and it has always been stable and reliable. I love to listen to my music with the visualization running using the MilkDrop plugin. When I install a new version I always uncheck all the stuff that's running in the background like Winamp Remote, Winamp Agent, Winamp Toolbar and the Winamp Search Engine. I don't use this player for playing videos.

    I guess this one is "non beta" .. and previous version was beta...

    tried to install this one .. but at the end of installation it didn't want to start for some reason...
    so for now, i went back to the previous version - winamp557_2765_beta_lite_en-us .. - and no problem.. - after the install it started OK :)

    Too bloatware...
    They simply choose wrong direction... video player ?

    but still 3/5 for many plugins and of course for many awesome skins...
