    I get to reverse my locating on this player. For a selfsame long time I royally dissed it and it was well-deserved. The audio quality was substandard, the bloat and slowness unwarranted. However, times get changed. The interface, while slower than the competition is not unreasonably so. The Media Library is intuitive and easy to use. About importantly, the audio quality has arrived with 24-bit support, dithering, seamless / gapless playback, a quality equalizer (finally!) and a high precision decoder. It's easily on equivalence with Foobar and XMPlay which IMNSHO are the Gold Standards for audio quality in the genre. Evening the remembering rtequirements are on equivalence with the abovementioned programs.

    Now, wholly is not sweetness and light. The programme has several criminal bugs – I enounce criminal because this thing is OLD and these bugs should get been long-since squashed. The include poor error checking thus that an errant plugin or skin can crash the player, and a display module (nscrt.dll) that can have a crash but by invoking CDDB for a newly introduced CD with the playlist subject (I contended that six times in two seconds – things became swimmingly if I but closed the playlist). Skin performance could also exist significantly improved.

    This programme is also LOADED with Adware, something I intensely resent. I view adware equally malware and anything that prompts me to purchase music while I'm building a custom playlist or otherwise impinges upon my get should exist expunged. I surmisal that's the malign influence of the AOL ownership – after all, aught good has Always arrived out of that company.

    All that being said, the UI and configurability of the interface and audio options build this the best bang out there for a media player. Simply exist surely to consult the Winamp install maneuver (Google it) and avoid installing any plugins shipped with the plaer that stink of adware (I can think of one promoinent plugin for the Media Library that fits that description).
