winamp stopped being cool in the 90's

7/25/2006 12:50:36 PM

winamp was never cool to begin with

and personally, i think winace > winrar

7/25/2006 1:27:25 PM

winamp & winrar are the tops in their category - as long as you are using the latest versions

7/25/2006 1:33:22 PM

just too bulky for me...honestly though i never really played around with it...i just didnt like the controls, the layout, the gui, etc.

like i would play a song and 3 different boxes were open...plus doesnt it use like 3 processes?

Everything is freeware except for Stardock's suite:

Foxit: small (<1 MB) and quick PDF reader for those sick of the slow and sluggish Adobe Acrobat (~65 MB)

Xfire: IM client for PC gamers

DesktopX 3.1: I use this guy for widgets at wincustomize.com

WindowBlinds 5.1: Skins at wincustomize.com

IconPackager: Icons at wincustomize.com

^^those 3 are part of stardock's little suite

Zone Alarm: A complete firewall unlike Windows Firewall

AdAware:

Stickies for Windows: Post it notes on your desktop! Without having to dl some widget manager! It's only ~150 KB. Really simple. Comes with no crap. http://finiteloop.org/~btaylor/software/stickies/

Tugzip: Better than winrar and free

Any utility at Sysinternals.com. Includes an amazing task manager that blows the one Windows has away and an autorun utility that shows everything that runs at startup, where, and a description. All are just a bunch of small .exe's.

Media Monkey: Does everything for your music media. Go to the website and see the details.

[Edited on July 25, 2006 at 2:01 PM. Reason : i dont understand why people use stuff other than windows media player honestly]

7/25/2006 2:01:18 PM

the j key alone makes me not use windows media player - the shitty visualizations - wmp is TONS more bloated than winamp...

7/25/2006 2:07:26 PM

i should've realized you were just trolling.

7/25/2006 2:07:30 PM

nah i seriously think windows media player is the simplest and best program to run my music

7/25/2006 2:11:08 PM

i used to really like freeamp zinf. then it went to crap. i haven't checked it out in years though.

[Edited on July 25, 2006 at 2:16 PM. Reason : oh yeah, it's zinf now]

7/25/2006 2:14:50 PM

does anyone use mplayer for windows? (not windows media player, but mplayer)

if you have, what do you think about it?

7/25/2006 2:52:33 PM

Winamp Classic is nice

The latest one is bulky and slow.

7/25/2006 3:07:56 PM

winamp is incredibly bulky with terrible memory leaks. if you leave it running for a few days it will balloon to over 200mb at idle. if winamp 2.9x had the playback quality of 5.x, I'd be happy. I still use winamp though. I have a g15 keyboard and that's the best supported player

7/25/2006 3:12:41 PM

anything after winamp 2.x blows

Great for playing mp3s on a piece of junk PC.

^^Whats the point of having a shit ton of ram if you are going to run some ass ugly program to save a few MB.

7/26/2006 12:32:52 AM

WMP is definitely far more functional than Winamp...no doubt about it
