LOL That was funny.
Version 2.98 was when I switched to Windows Media Player, and I've never looked back.
I still have the latest non beta version of Winamp installed, but I use it now as a tool, not my media player of choice.
now i use Foobar
Actually there's nothing better than Winamp in terms of:
- size
- flexibility
- interface
- plugins
- frequent updates
- high audio quality output
And number of users :

50 million users can't be wrong don't you think ?
does high number of IE users make Internet Explorer good ?
"there's over 1.2 billion people smoking worldwide" 1.2 billion people eh ? they can't be wrong
You and 4 of your friends are wrong...
It's a great player, if you want it to use less resources then use classic skins + uninstall plugins that you don't use.
It appears to be more vulnerable than other browsers because it is used so much more than other browsers.
Did you ever hear a smoker say that it's good for your health?
It's an addiction and a habit!
winamp "LITE", it just loads up fast and sounds real good with a solid interface and it's nice and compact and dont take up much of the screen + it has a equalizer .... cant really beat that
I dont listen to music on my pc. I've got an mp3 player for that.

Or i could still use foobar... or i could use install foobar and then install the plugins i need...
tbh i don't know why we're having this argument. people use winAmp because it does enough for their needs. i don't use it because it doesn't.
