Can someone develop on these two? Is this something like toaster for Winamp?
I wonder if they're ever thinking about adding album art to the notification window?
edit: you probably won't be able to burn cds, though, and possibly won't be able to rip them
Thanks
Does it get any better?!
to increase ur speed, jus remove the plugins u dont need
Winamp Lite is great.

You know, I should have went through that directory years ago. The only thing I want to see in my ML is a few things -- and their AOL-ad services isn't one of them.
Oh, and Winamp still remains my favorite -- and it's not all that slow to start up, it takes just as long to open WMP11 (and even longer to open iTunes haha).
