    There were days when Winamp was a must have. But today I hardly find it being discussed anywhere. I personally use MediaMonkey. What player are you guys using?

    Media monkey for audio, a WPF/Winforms hybrid application I wrote for video.

      iTunes for music and VLC for videos.

      Watched code never compiles.

          Almost 8 years back: It was a fine evening, everything was fine and someone told me to copy a CD for him. I did it for him and found a small thing called VLC on that. saved it for myself too and then never looked back (to winamp). Almost 5 years back: My client told me to make a small change in VLC player to incorporate QoS parameter in the video streaming. I started looking into code and it took me a week to get my version with required changed up and running. This made things personal. I saw the code and made some changes. now using VLC is like a personal matter to me. I don't go elsewhere but VLC only. P.S. I use mediaportal when i need lean back experience and VLC when i need lean forward experience.

            I use VLC. Maybe AOL killed Winamp, as anything else they have been in touch of.

                I find there is no need to use a music player on the computer. More of a hassle than convenience. If I want to listen to music I use my phone. It is always with me and I can get up and still have my music. I tend to use Slacker Radio but occasianlly load up Pandora.

                Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                    QMP or VLC, depending on which machine I'm on. Anything with more than three letters in its name is just too much trouble.

                      I mostly use Pandora these days, but still keep this mp3 player up to date: 1by1 It doesn't require playlists; looks like Windows Explorer - point to a folder and hit play.

                                      Artists barely see any of that money, if you want to artist to get paid, go to a concert, that's where they make most of their money. (I do buy CDs however, because I can put the music on any player I want, at any quality I want, without DRM.)

                                        I like PottPlayer[^] for video. I have been using Media Monkey, but I don't like the current version - they eliminated the arrow keys for jumping forward & backward. :((

                                          Well, I have the Winamp app on my phone, and it's certainly still being worked on. I dunno. I prefer Winamp myself. Maybe I'm more a creature of habit than previously though.
