All and good for you then but its not all and good for everything though is it? I’m not against Winamp at all and as I mentioned earlier I used the software but even for me it became too bloated and I was left wondering exactly what the aims of the developers of Winamp were, to make something flashy or something that actually worked. As I said earlier I was having trouble playing some content so I decided at that point to “Move on”, no regrets whatever there.
