Considering it's age Winamp is still a great media player. Probably the only thing AOL didn't butcher. The downloads have doubled since the 2.9x days but it still runs pretty swiftly on my AMD 1.3ghz laptop with 736MB of RAM, with the Bento skin off. Slightly slower startup with it on. Considering that WMP and iTunes are way larger in download size, this is still a nice lean familiar player. It also plays some videos that WMP tends to whine it can't play. Let's not forget the plethora of plugins (yes and there are many that are just plain worthless!) to customize it ANY way you want Add ml_ipod (or the built-in plugin) and it makes it a great all around program to play media and manage your library or digital music player.

For me this is nearly perfect. It's gotten very good with video and I rarely find myself needing to use VLC any more. And it still uses a tiny amount of RAM in classic mode.

If this used its own built-in codecs (VLC, Foobar) and had dvd playback, this would be the ultimate. It is still a 5/5

5.33 was a good version... then you broke MusicMatch, arguably one of Winamp's coolest functions. No more updating for me. :p

Hmm. I found it wanting compared to Foobar. It will appeal to general users who just play MP3s and like a space-age interface I suppose. I would direct everyone else to Foobar which surpasses it in just about every respect.
