Is Winamp Dead?

[Lost User]

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.

I use VLC for video's and Winamp for audio.

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.

These days I find WMP does the job just fine.

I am the one that is still using it. I like to listen to my mp3ed CDs(*). because Winamp works fine. Why should I change? (*) YES, I'm also the one that still buys CDs. Because I think the artists deserve to be paid.

My iPod for music (or on occasion, iTunes, which I'm pretty much locked into because I use an iPod Touch), and for video Media Player Classic.

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.

To bad those artist only get a very small percentage of that money. I buy mostly for the artwork and the reasons mentioned by lewax. I do, however, refuse to pay 20 euro's for any music cd. I wait until they get cheaper (say <= 10 euro's) or I buy second hand :D I only pay the full new price for very few artists that I REALLY like (Underworld, Summoning, The Devil's Blood, Urfaust...) :)

Winamp! It really kicks the lama's ass! (I believe it was)... It has its flaws, but I can't find anything better. Although I haven't really looked beyond the obvious (WMP, iTunes, Foobar...). All I can do is safely say Winamp is A LOT better than the three I just mentioned :) I'm looking at MediaMonkey right now and it looks promising. Going to try it out! :thumbsup:
