Multimedia Monday: Winamp
When you're talking media players, one name that always comes to mind is Winamp.
I've been using Winamp right from its 2.x versions which is to say from quite a few years and have always used it as my primary player when playing long playlists of music spread over a several day period.
Winamp has progressed from its early days, moving from a simple audio player with limited support to a full fledged media player with support for several different audio and video formats, a full fledged media library to organize your music as well as support for portable devices.

Winamp is available in several flavours. A lite version that only plays a few audio formats, that reminds you of the old winamp. You also have the Full version which is what I use. This comes with complete multimedia support and all the features.
There is a bundled version, which includes a free mp3 and lastly a pro version which gives you faster burning and ripping speeds as well as the ability to create your own mp3s.
If you're new to Winamp, then I suggest taking a look at their walkthru. Alternatively, just grab hold of the software from the link below and get started.

After the advent of WMP 11 with Vista look and features, I never used Winamp. But Winamp takes little resource compared to other players.
BTW, 'The Lord Reigns' is a good song, I love it!!!
The Lord Reigns?
yeah that's the song displayed in the Winamp picture.
That one… my dad buys huge collections of music. I rip it for my ipod and for listenin on my PC. WMP11 does a great job at this
I'm kinda addicted to Winamp. Is there any mobile version of Winamp 5.x available?
I'm not sure if there is a mobile version available… but would sure go with it if it exists.
What is the version of Winamp shown in the picture? I have found that that version is my favorite but downloaded the newest and hate it… Thanks!
