WinAmp has a cleaner interface, and it chews less resources, but WMP plays more formats and it has a WMP taskbar, which means I can Play/Stop, etc. without having to bring up the full window.

What?!? WMP is like IE: It sucks... Winamp is faster, it's cusomizable, and really good if you listen at songs online... I used to listen at online radio, and WMP used alot of time to connect etc, but winamp connected immediately...

WMP = IE
Winamp = Firefox

i use winamp and wmp. for videos i watch them on wmp but winamp is for mp3s. winamp definately uses less system reasources which either way doesn't bother me because i have a gig of ram, soon to be more.... but its just easier to use in my view. windows media player can play a few more file formats then winamp and there are some videos that play in winamp but in a funky way like they skip around and lag for some reason, but in windows media player, they play just fine.... but if i had to vote on which one was my favorite, i would have to go with winamp!

You have never been so right. I use Winamp all the time when I'm listening to music because it has the hotkeys feature, so I don't have to go to the interface everytime I want to pause or go to the next song. I only use Windows Media Player when I want to play a video because I had a hard time when I tried playing the Ashlee Simpson lip sync video on Winamp.

By the way, what skin do you guys use on Winamp? I use the Haxbox skin because it goes with my Windows skin (StyleXP).

Winamp: This program is very new(came out in late 1999)and it is plain boring. You can just upgrade the skins(yepee, i am g** and i like silly little skins..lol..thats my impression), and all u can do is listen to mp3....lOl.my fone and my mp3 player can let me listen to music. It also has like loads of bugs that needed to be fixed but u get patches for that which is annoying and finding them is the hard bit. This program also has 3rd person listening to ur computer if u try and get music of it. It will pass on a trojan. Winamp also consists on problems that CAN NOT be fixed under no circumstances...I h8 this program

Windows Media: You can do anything with playing media with this. You can watch movies/play music/listen to radio. It has a variety of help and online support which is really good. The skins on this rock but I dont care because I have media player 10. THis really brings out the music of wat u r listening to and it just makes u feel like u r there(it also depends on ur sound card). The only problem with this is that it passes info to ms on the activity u do unless u block the firewall of ur pc. I really do like this proggy as it works on most pcs and it doesnt need much doing to make it work

so overall pick windows media...LOL

I don´t like Windows Media Player. It isn´t useless at all... but in general terms Winamp is much better, as said. More compact, faster in connection, gives you more control and it needs fewer resources.

For audio Winamp... for video, VLC

For updates and the latest version just visit www.winamp.com
And for support just visit the forums @ winamp.com

There are many skins and plug-ins (ogg-vorbis encoder, l.a.m.e. encoder, 5 Channels Output) for winamp... so i choose Winamp

Greetz,

Windows media players from microsoft looks more nicer...I prefer it. But I use winamp too. Winamp uses less system resources and it is quite effecient......but for the eye candy...and those who like a nice interfact, like me...I would prefer windows media player. I don't mind paying the system resoruces.

    see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
    They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
    whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
