VLC is much better for video. If you're going to be viewing shows and movies and such, VLC is the way to go. However it doesn't seem to have the audio flexibility that winamp does, so I happily use both. The nice thing about VLC though is that it will play any video file at all without the need to hunt around for codecs. There are still videos that i have never successfully got to play with winamp even though they seem like fairly standard file formats.

I heard that VLC is pretty good, but is it as good or better than Winamp?

I use VLC and works well for me.

I'm sure there are thousands of other players out there and I'm equally sure that others on list use other players than Winamp and use them well.

Don't know what all the big noise is about given that there are plenty of other Media Players out there available free of charge or for next to nothing.

Hi all,

Sorry for the confusion. If you go to

www.winamp.com/media-player/all

and when you're at the top of that page use your screen reader's find command to search for "Winamp.com" without the quotes and start reading from there you should find the message about Winamp shutting down.

Regarding Winamp Pro the link I gave in my previous version is for the free version of Winamp. However if you've already purchased a serial number for Winamp Pro and entered it into Winamp the latest version will turn into Winamp Pro. It looks like you can no longer buy Winamp pro though. I've been using Winamp Pro since 2004.

Regards Steve.

Don't know. I got mine from their site, but when I went up there just
now, (and didn't find anything about anything no longer being available
after December 20), I did however find that the Winamp Pro store is no
longer available. There might be other places to get it though, albeit
not the latest version. Mine is version 5.62, but I don't know whether
that is the latest Pro version or not.
