I'm not going to get into the discussion of accessibility or otherwise of Winamp compared to anything else because its so pointless and its been threshed here heaps of times not to mention comments regarding accessibility these days are just far too general, the comments below being no exception <smile> I think what you really mean to say is that Winamp is very useable and yes it was but that doesn't mean to say that there aren't useable alternatives out there and that's been illustrated here many times.

It may be old, but it is highly functional. I am listening to online radio with it as I type this message. Braille slates are more than 80 years old but they are still used because they are useful. I also own and use a minidisc recorder. It is somewhat ancient, but it remains highly effective for spoken word recording.
