How many music players are there for Windows platform? Countless I think. We dont even know the names of many of them. But when it comes to pure music experience, I think Winamp is the best. Whoever using PC, know about this software. It is in the market for many years and still now growing. Here are a few reasons why I love this software -
1) Its installation is easy. Over the years its size has grown, but not that much.
2) U can select the skin type u want to use in the time of installation.
3) The Winamp Modern skin is fantastic. It looks very nice and does not consume much screen space.
4) The modern skin looks really modern. U can select among several nice color schemes.
5) There is a Drawer system for Playlist, Equalizer etc. U can hide them if u dont want to use them.
6) Winamp can play variety number of sound files like MP3, WAV etc.
7) File association is easy. For the first time just select a song, right click on it and select Winamp as the default player and u r done.
8) It has a Visualisation window too which also can be hidden.
9) The equalizer works straight forward and it has pretty strong effect. Bass and treble change significantly but never looses balance. All u need is a good speaker(preferably a 5.1 speaker better surrounding experience).
10) U can change the Opacity and Scaling of Winamp. Just right click on its body and u can find numerous options to change many things.
11) U can select any Folder or Sound File and add it to the playlist. It is that simple.
12) The conventional Repeat and Shuffle buttons are there too in the upper player window and they are easily accessible.
13) Under the tiny 'Config' button there are 3 tabs.Equalizer, Option and Color Schemes. So most of the major settings are just a click away.
The only downside of Winamp according to me is its video playing capability. It does play videos but functionality is bad. U should obviously use other stand alone video players like VLC, KM Player, WMP etc.
I love Winamp. I think many of you too. It is our cute companion for so many days. This is a must have for music lovers who listen mostly on desktops. Period.
