"Winamp 5.63 - Excellent Media Player."
Version: Winamp 5.63
Pros
Much better than Windows Media Player with more user interface. Easier to move things around and no problems playing MP3 music, even downloads, as I was having with Windows. Hadn't tried Winamp before it was recommended to me and I'm glad it was. I have now recommended it to others.
Cons
Slightly confusing at first, especially with the separate components but doesn't take long to get the hang of it.
Summary
Overall an excellent device with many options and very easy to import your music etc from Windows Media Player or the web. Good fun learning how to use it. Highly recommended.

"Appalling and wouldn't uninstall"
Version: Winamp 5.63
Pros
It has any?
Cons
Partly my fault, I wanted a media player and it does say "play and organise". I'm quite capable of organising my stuff on my own thanks.
Also it didn't have the codecs I wanted and which I specified when I was looking for a player, more CNET's fault I suppose.
Then, after a frustrating fight with it because it wants to do things it's way (If I wanted an Apple I'd buy one) it wouldn't uninstall. I had to manually delete files, use task manager to stop running files and then use a registry cleaner to remove the hundreds of entries it left behind, many of which I did NOT want installed in the first place, including Firewall exceptions when I had specified NO online services on install.Summary
Definitely not for me.
