Winamp
      #7619 - Tue Aug 26 2003 07:58 PM

Hi,

Just read "The sound of music" article in the current issue of Web-user and I am interested in Winamp. Has anyone tried it?
I currently use WMP 9 to play my music files, but I'm not that impressed with the sound quality.

Also, does anyone know if is spyware free?

cheers
Chamone!!
Yeeee- hee!

i don't use anything else, winamp sounds 10 times better, and it is spyware free, it has a 10 band graphic equaliser. i have it as my default player for all music files. there are plenty of skins for it to make it look jazzy if you want.
if i had known i would live this long, i would have taken better care of myself.

WinAmp is the best by a long way in my opinion. It rocks. There are loads of skins available and my favourite is the MMD3 skin.

I would strongly urge you to get WinAmp 3. You will discover loads of features including top quality digital radio.

Oh yes!!!

Many thanks for your quick replies, this is sounding sooo much better now!

I wasn't very impressed with the sound at first and then I had a fiddle with the graphic equalizer... That's more like it!!

OOOOOH, that's pretty!

Just downloaded the MMD3 skin Jonny555 and have gone for the old "juicy|blue" colour scheme.... Nice...

1st impressions of this player are very good, a nice quick download and the sound quality is just so much better than wmp.

So glad you like it. I've got juicy|blue as my skin too. The WinAmp website is really worth exploring aswell. Theres even tools and tutorials for creating your own skins. I've done this in the past and it's very satisfying.

The live radio stations have got a great range of music covering all tastes.

Have fun.

ah must agree and disagree with webuser

Winamp is a brilliant mp3 program
small , compact, skinnable and doesnt eat up space

winamp 3is the better option
but winamp 2 has features that 3 doesnt

i use em both

Most people agree that 2.91 is better than 3 & a lot of people find it more stable. Just worth a mention for anyone who encounters any problems with stability or hogging resources. Personally I prefer Quintessential.
