wow.nice info

I love winamp. It has been my media player for over 2 years and I don't seem myself changing any time soon :)

i used winamp 5+ years ago, but all of a sudden my "on-board" sound stopped doing 5.1 audio so i stopped and started using wmp for my mp3's. now, vista uses 100% cpu usage in wmp for mp3's so i decided to try this out. i now have a sound card and my 5.1 works like a champ and only using 7% cpu. good times. thx. nullsoft!
