I still use winamp 2.x because 5.x is a fat bastard, I hate having to wait several seconds for the thing to launch. Now using version 2.95, after using 2.81 then 2.91 (never noticed a difference, but now it's kind of up to date
)
classic skin only, I'm not into skins, and I don't want the hassle of finding and installing a usable one.
At every launch I had a message telling me there was a security hole (in a damn music player!?) and that I should upgrade to 5.05 or whatever, but I didn't know if it was lying, so I turned off "check for new version". (I don't care anyway and I don't use the browser)
Every media file is associated to Media Player Classic, else I just right click a directory in an explorer window and do "Play in WinAmp" or "Enqueue in WinAmp".
I discovered some time ago the media library in Windows Media Player 9, I used it for some times (using Winamp too when I felt to), then it updated itself to WMP 10 which is crap. And this crap is integrated to Windows XP so there doesn't even seem to be a way to uninstall it!
I tried the library in winamp but I think it sucks.
The only pb I have with WinAmp, and it's irritating : files with blank title tags (a few MP3s I encoded long ago, and some MOD, xm, SPC files I downloaded). I hate when I see a lot of " - " in my playlist, no way to tell what they are..
There's the option "Read on (Load) (Display) (Play)" option but even then it sucks. With "Play" I can see file names but they become " - " when I play them, and I want to see the tags (it seems to display Artist - Title ) when they are available instead of crappy file names (that sometimes are as bad as "Track 8.mp3", or names like "04 Territory Sepultura Under a Pale Grey Sky Disc 1.wma")
any help is welcome
