Fuck that shit, on my Mac and iOS I elite with iTunes. Fucking shit sucks, no Flac support, which is what I use exclusively. I compromise with 192kbps AAC. |

If you guys have an alternative that can show lyrics automatically as each song plays through a playlist, do tell me because I'd like to switch to it. |

For me the opening and listing of 50k+ mp3 and searching was painfully slow, the GUI when switching from any of its things like shoutcast back to my playlist was a bit laggy. or doing a search for a song its in browser would make mine hang.
I couldn't tell it to just 'update' links if I moved my music around, it just lost it. I had to let it do its slow search and readd them all thing.
and it was sinkable, but any of the good minimalistic ones didnt have the library browser, and its browser was always either "large and way too much in the way' or off. (maybe its just its library layout i didn't like)
Also mediamonkey seems a LOT faster at indexing and showing large folders of music than winamp was. Or telling it to mass change the metadata of MP3 Files, most the time it just decided to do random ones, and forget to change others.

Well I've not had any issues with the player like that, but I guess that could be because I don't use a library. The only time I "organise" my music (outside of Artist>Album folders, of course) is when I have to hook up a portable player, such as my Zen Vision-M. I just use the playlist on WinAMP itself.
However! I most certainly do agree with the "move the MP3? Sorry, it's gone now, can't find it, lolz" disability of WinAMP. Now we just see a red background on entries that refer to files that aren't where the player expects. Oh! I minor gripe is the auto-tagger doesn't offer CHOICES, it offers a suggestion and then you either accept it or don't... there's no "Hmm, I think this song is ... or ...." it's just "I think this song is .... so deal with it" xD

Yea, other than those things it was still as good as it was years ago. I never really liked the "we are going to do all this in 14 different windows" thing though.
I mean you could get a skin to make it all one window..but then it was a MASSIVE window and I couldn't combine/merge the ones I wanted into a single side window.

I'm using the latest beta of Winamp, have always set it to play 24-bit and only listen to FLAC's or HQ CBR 320K mp3's.
This anti-winamp sentiment started when the company were bought by AOL, ie. a small independent developer bought by a giant which is never popular. Meanwhile Winamp 5.70 + MMD3 skin + 24-bit sound + FLAC's and HQ 320K mp3's.. Never had an issue. Great shuffle, great playlist functions etc..

I love iTunes for its genius playlists.
If you have over 80,000 songs spanning various genres... Genius is awesome.
If there is an audio player that has a genius like playlist thing... I'd be down for that. Till then iTunes wins.

OMG. Garuska. Dzieki! Zajebisty program, lepszy wiecej niz winamp.
I have always wanted something alternative to Winamp. Using AIMP was kinda weird but Clementine is so good! |

It plays audio perfectly, has a gazillion plugins for those obscure formats some of us like, and it's skinnable --- if you feel like staring at your media player rather than minimising it to the taskbar xD 12MB RAM and 36MB on disk, no extraneous shit loaded, no ads, no forced gimmicks, just a music player.
