How much does the "pro" version of Winamp cost? And what other perks do you get with the "pro" version of Winamp that you don't get with the "free" version? Tom Kaufman

Gracenotes seems to know almost everything I throw at it, even obscure limited edition electronic music CDs. It's very seldom it doesn't know what a CD is, and I have a lot of stuff from genres that you won't find in mainstream stores. Nowadays though, I avoid buying physical CDs whenever I can and simply buy downloadable versions. I only buy physical CDs when I absolutely have to to get something I really want.
