I would like to use Winamp, especially for playing FLAC, but for some reason the sound quality is noticeably worse when playing the same mp3 file through it vs iTunes or Windows Media Player. Really odd to me. |

It's a little buggy on my newest machine though. Playing multiple video files in different formats will occasionally crash Winamp for some reason. Could be a driver issue. Had this issue ever since day 1 of a clean install with newest drivers. |

| ______________________________ [Jun 27,2012 9:36am - ark ""] i still use it on my desktop and now my phone. it's terrible at video playback but i never put much effort into it. i just use VLC. and for piles of music, i think media monkey is much better. winamp could have been a great program 10 years later if they were never bought out. |
