    I Been using winamp 2 forever.
    Any other music programs i've happened upon have been terrible. Winamp 3 doesn't do it for me. All i want is a simple and functional audio player!

    What do you use?

    ah back in the day when they were the two main types...wait a minute they still are. Think winamp is still the best tho, still i miss the pitch adjuster :D

    The Sonique site is a bit crap, and having to sign up to download, what a jip!

    I'd have to vote for Winamp 2 aswell. 3 is just bloatware. That said I'm using MusicMatch Jukebox at the moment because I prefer its tagging functionality. But when I've my collection tagged, I'll be going back to Winamp 2. Or I'll have written my own by then.

    I thought music match was spyware?

    You could try XMMS. Dunno if it's out for windows though, but works fine.

    i use a plugin called ntpitch for adjusting the pitch of a tune.
    very handy for those times when you just want to play a song at +16%:rolleyes:

    winamp3 has been abandoned. Instead they're backporting all its features to winamp2. I think when they've finished doing this they're going to call the result Winamp5 or something.

    They should look at adding features that are useful instead of all the fluff!

    i can only download the lite version in college (they've got some kind of restriction on files over 500k:mad: )
    no real difference between this & 2.81...
    i'll have to d/l the full version at the weekend, ho hum.

    To be fair now, all the features are useful.
    The Library is deadly, still need work though.
    As far a video is concerned, i wish they didn't add that feature but i'll probable use it a good bit anyway!

    I thought that Kevin was taking the mick, but no, he's not. Bizarre.
