All I say is "Much Ado About Nothing", yes you'd have reason to make a noise if there were not any accessible Media players out there, you've mentioned one and I can think of 2 more and that's just for starters.

VLC is a worth while look, I use it here on Mac, with Windows and on my iPhone and this player would most likely be the most versatile media player on Planet Earth today.

I'm curious as to know why you have problems with Windows Media Player? I use it here often and its come a long way in a very short space of time, very accessible and very useable.

Then of course there's iTunes, probably not as flexible as I'd like but the Interface has been tightened up recently and its easy to get around.

And finally - as I've told others on another eMail list who are convinced that their pending doom will fall on 20 December, just because the development of Winamp stops doesn't mean you can't continue to use it, it just means Winamp won't be updated any longer which means that any new audio/video/streaming formats may not be supported in the version you have, bugs may not be fixed etc.

I gave up using Winamp quite some time ago as it appeared to be getting bundled

it... "now what do we do, Forrest?"  instead? I don't want to go to Windows 
Media.

Hello everyone
well it's the end of an era!
www.winamp.com
will be shutting down December 20. For proof go check out the downloads page.
Winamp is a very popular free Windows Media Player that just so happens to be 
keyboard and screen reader friendly so us visually impaired can even use it. 
I'm sure it's just as popular with the sighted too.
So we gather here today, to mourn the death of Winamp! Lol!
Sorry could not help not putting that in.
Kind regards
Chris.
