Though I am not against those applications that come pre installed in Windows but some of them are considered very obsolete now and do not meet the new standards. Windows Media Player is a very good default Windows application that is used to listen to songs, play videos and run other media files and applications but still it does give you the extreme media enjoying experience which Winamp 5 does.
Winamp 5 is the Ultimate Audio Software
Winamp 5 is no doubt the most loved and most used audio player out there. Winamp is free to download and even beats Windows Media Player when it comes to features and ease of use. Winamp is considered as the premier digital audio player for Windows and the good news is that now you can download the new version of Winamp 5 i.e Lite 5.50 right away which has some enhanced features and functions.
Here is a portion of the change log for the new Winamp build.
- Winamp Bento (SingleUI Skin)

- Album Art window for Winamp Modern skin

Wow, a new winamp is came out! I still have the first wave file I downloaded with winamp, it makes me laugh - “it really kicks the lama’s ass”. Those were some good times. Thanks for heads up!
The only reason I don’t use Winamp is because of its interface. Now that they’re building it up, I’ll give it a try for sure!
I stopped using winamp since 3 years yahoo music is my favorite and using visual studio and others will make my system slow but will try once for sure
I will download it now. Thanks for sharing.
I have never used Winamp. RealOne player is far more better.
Downloading it right now…
And thanks a lot for the link love, DJ!
The last time i tried Winamp was Winamp 3 , it looks like a lot of things has changed . So i might give it a try as well.
I really like the “Music-mix” feature of Winamp and probably that is the only one feature which makes me fall in love with Winamp.
I guess the new version will also have this feature so I will definitely use it. Plus the new skin is brilliant
Will have to download, Winamp is all I play my music on, so annoying if it ever breaks. I own a shoutcast radio station and usesd to use the plugin for it before I moved to SAM Broadcaster. The plugin was great if you wanted basic things, but I needed more. What I do hate, If I may add, is people who think they can do what they like on it and it not to be illegal (not saying my station is legal ha). What I mean is the stupid people who think they are legal because shoutcast is legal- lots of people use it, a famous company owns it, oh it must be legal!
