DrAvery - Winamp spys on you too?! How ?!
I like winamp - seems to be very good so far, however i just begam using it.
I used to use WMP just b/c its on the machine, nowever i made the mistake of 'upgrading' to WMP 9 - they dont mention that u have to set a restore point if you want to go bk to WMP8 - highly frustrating b/c WMP 9 sucs a**- it really pist me off that i could not uninstall and go bk to WMP 8.
Nonetheless, i always knew WMP was crap....i tried Realplayer , (of course prompted by that stupid msg "you need realpayer to play this file")- big mistake. That program thinks its the pc user and not me! ....always doing something i did not tell it to do!
My all time favorite player (winamp = my recent fav). is Sonique. It does not have the ability to stream internet radio or do video (as far as i know) but its funcional for playing any music file from the hd or cd drive - and it has really cool skins and uses little memory. I like the skins most.

It is a very good little program, it has plugins for all sorts of stuff too.
