what are do use for an mp3 player? i'm downloading winamp 5.03, but i had bad luck with the previous version (2.x was great however)

Winamp 2.81, or winamp 3.0 usually. occasionally will use QCD player.

Winamp 5.03 Usually, Media Player Classic Occasionally.

Winamp 5.03: the use of system resources is much more reasonable than MusicMatch was.

thats exactly what i wanted to know. music match 8.2 vs winamp 5.03.

I've begun to use winamp almost exclusively for mp3s, WinAmp 5 for video.

To give you an idea, I'm currently at about 50% system resources free. If I start WinAmp it drops to 45%, while with MusicMatch it drops to 36%. I've had a couple problems with MusicMatch: often it crashes with an illegal operation the first time I try to start it, and if I try using it with "watchfolders" enabled it just dies completely. The one thing I'll say in favor of it is that it does a better job of volume leveling than WinAmp does.

Basically, if I wasn't too lazy to learn how to use EAC to burn CDs, I'd already have uninstalled it.

Winamp, I would use Itunes if it did't insist on installing and running an extra service.

I really hate that type of shit.

I run mp3 player approx 5% of the computer time then I dont want a service connected only to that ap running 100% of the time.

iTunes 4.6

Winamp, Windows Media Player and Quicktime. Usually WMP (it takes the least effort, I just click the play all button, and it sounds exactly the same). I only use QT if that's all it will run in for some reason, or if I want to edit it.

WinAMP 2.91 for MP3 files; 5.03 is kind of buggy on my system (mostly centered around international font support; you probably won't have to deal with that). However, I use MPC for the occasional RA/AU/MOV audio, and Zoom Player for any video.

Winamp 5.x pro.
