I still use Winamp as my main mp3 player on my PC & Android phone.

To be fair I haven't used Winamp in years, since I started using Spotify, thing is with the userbase winamp had/has they could of done similar things to Spotify and it could of been a goldmine for someone, AOL though, how the hell are they still in business...

I know that Winamp was popular in its day, but I really don't know what was so good about it. What made it stand out above the others? All I can remember of it was an endless amount of skins.
Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...

It wasnt bloated and did exactly what it needed to.
As they say in the article, iTUnes is 170Mb, Winamp less than 9mb....
