Interesting program, wierd name

[Caitlyn Marble]

winamp 2.81

and the worst media player would be the free version of any Real player. Just beating out win player 7.

[TFoS_Fan]

Can't say I'm a big winamp fan. You should try Windows Media Player 9 Beta Seres its great.

[TwoZigzagColt45]

winamp 2.81

Oh yes I rember that version
dreadful

They disabled the option to: - *disable winamp agent*

leaving the only way to turn it off - is in MSCONFIG

thats a dirty trick

:devil

[Caitlyn Marble]

they did that? well, I woudln't know anyway, as I was playing with Msconfig the other day and turned it off myself.

what does the winamp agent do anyway?

[hawkburn]

I Love QCD!!

Mostly because uses little RAM and it has an iTunes skin.

@ Caitlyn Marble

Winamp Agent options ensure that you get the highest level of performance out of Winamp. Click "O">Preferences>Setup>Agent to access them.
Checking this box enables the Winamp agent, which gives you increased functionality in a number of Winamp control areas. It makes sense to keep this checked.
This option displays a Winamp icon in the system tray. This will let you run Winamp, browse bookmarks and perform other functions. Winamp Agent must be enabled for this option to work.
The installation of other software may cause the new software to take over control of Winamp file types. Checking this option ensures that Winamp keeps these file extensions. Winamp agent must be enabled.


what they dont tell you is that winamp can report back to winamp.com about your program usage

spyware

:devil

[CCSDUDE]

Well, there 2 different things. The agent is a mix of the tray icon an the file association keeper shit. The annon report can be unchecked in most versions. An if you don't believe it then just block Winamp from connecting to the net with ZA. As for programs.

Winamp 2.71 an below (have 2.666 somewhere funny, eh?)

WMP 6.4 - I'd never use 7 8 or 9 there all SR hogging trash IMHO.

An I'd never touch a Real player POS program.

For Ripping I use EAC .9 B or something along those lines.

For audio work I use cool edit pro 2.0

So I don't use the all in one packs - they do a lot but most of what they do isn't as good as it could be.




Peace all, Later

I use a lot of audio progs, since that´s one of the main things I do on my PC, along with P2P.
- MusicMatch Jukebox 7.2 Plus : loads and loads of features (it can do basicly everything except creating music by itself), but mainly for ripping (it can rip to the MP3Pro format).
- Quintessential Player : for playing music, duh!
- MP3DirectCut and MP3Multiplexer : to edit,split and join MP3 files.
- Nero Burning Rom : everyone knows what this one does!
- Proppelerheads´ Rebirth and Reason : to make some beats!
- AtomixMP3 : for a bit of computer DJ´in. Lots of fun!

I also have Winamp3 installed, but I don´t use it much.

"Can't say I'm a big winamp fan. You should try Windows Media Player 9 Beta Seres its great."

don't read much news do you? don't care much about performance eh?

wmp9 is a bloated, overpriced (and at free, that's pretty bad eh?) spying piece of garbage

winamp (2.x)is good for playing music

audiograbber is good for ripping cd's

dartpro is excellent for ripping records

totalrecorder is good for recording streams

real sucks for everything

wmp6.4 is good for movies (once you get all the right codecs)

i have nothing against quicktime (except their contant stream of "why not upgrade"'s)

so yeah i agree with ccs dude

LOL The crabbie old man agrees with me, I'm in shock....


BTW I was one of those red assed apes, you know? The ones that always like to rub there ass up on things.


Also check out Messer it's almost like total recorder except it looks more user friendly. That an the fact that its free.


Peace all, Later

[notbob]

all programs are free if you know where to look...

[wonderboy2005]

has anyone tried the divix playa for avi movies? i think it is the greatest. the quality out does winamp and wmp by far. im not sure why tho. and no, im not just imagining thisgs... i opened the same file at the same time with both divx playa and wmp and there was a very noticeable difference. i just wish it could play all video or even audio....

[MoonMan]

WinAmp 2.x - awesome player
Real - anything and everything is complete trash (except for maybe g2).
WMP 8, 9 - Crap, system resource hogs (although I do not mind 7).
Audiograbber - System resource hog and the cause of many blue screens, didn't even rip mp3s that well either.
WinAmp 3.x - Wow what a bloated program that has a ton of bugs in it. Also the cause of many blue screens.

It grab's AVI file associations an changes the icon (obviously to the playa icon LOL)

Yes it goes full screen, but I've never been able to watch a movie without it getting snagged up on a bad or slightly fucked up frame so it locks up an repeats at which point I must hard power down. I'll stick to WMP 6.4.....


BTW it's a tad bloated....




Peace all, Later

[Jared592]

My list o' stuff I use (or don't):
Winamp 2.x
Reason 2.0 (rarely use)
Fruityloops 3.0 (rarely use)
Exact Audio Copy (Ver ?)
WMP 8 (raper of all available resources, a real fucking hog)
Cubase 5 R4 (rarely use)
Logic Audio Platium 4.7 (rarely use)
Yeah, I need a breakout box if I ever plan on using any of my audio software...like a Delta66..
Oh yeah, and naturally NERO 5.5...

EDIT: Almost forgot: Fuck Real in their shitty-software-making asses.
