From Nullsoft:Winamp is a multimedia player made by Nullsoft. It is skinnable, multi-format freeware. It also now plays streamed video content, both live and recorded, authored worldwide. Winamp 5 includes support for classic Winamp skins and Winamp 3 (Modern) skins; a fancy new Modern skin; the same classic skin for people who want the Winamp 2 feel; a vastly more powerful media library; CD-ripping support (AAC@2x in the Free version, MP3 at unlimited speeds in the Pro version); CD-burning support (limited to 6x in the free version); advanced title-formatting logic for file types that support it; huge AVS updates; support for playback of AAC and VP6 in NSV files/streams; global hot-key support; a new Signal Processing Studio DSP plug-in; options for disabling plug-in exception-handling for developers; a new Winamp icon; and the addition of XP manifest.xml to winamp.exe.
Version 5.32 includes Winamp Dashboard, Winamp Remote, Unicode filename and track support.
Editor's review of Winamp 5.32

- "The llama still rides"
- Version reviewed: Winamp 5.32
Nullsoft still has some ground to make up after the poorly received Winamp 3, a dwindling user base, and stiff competition from Apple iTunes. Winamp 5.3 is a huge step in the right direction, with support for AAC encoding, CD burning, and a robust file-management system.
The last two versions, 5.31 and 5.32, have made small but interesting changes, such as FLAC encoding and decoding, CD text reading, support for Windows Mobile devices, and additional filters for the album and artist panes.
We like the Internet TV feature, which provides music videos and live concert footage, although Singing Fish search is less than reliable. Another eye-catcher is the excellent collection of visualizations. The massive catalog of Winamp 2.x and 3.x skins still work with this latest version. The free version is feature-rich, but if you want MP3 encoding and full-speed CD burning, you have to shell out $24.95 for the Pro version. Winamp is one of our all-time favorite players, though, and version 5 renews its promise.

Version: Winamp 5.32
Pros: This program does have some major advantages, there are thousands of skins out there and other customizations, beating even windows media player in that respect, and compared to Itunes it is great in that fact. This player is highly recommended if your PC has low end specs as it takes around 16mb of ram, unlike the new Itunes which takes around 80.
Cons: Unfortunately unless you really like skining your player, or have a low end PC, I would really not recommend this player. First of all, it is awkward, I have a pc that sits in the living room and is attached to an analogue TV, first of all the controls on this player are small and don't are hard to use on a TV. Also we have large parties where everyone can chose what music they want, everyone, including unexperianced computer users can use Itunes and windows media player, this program is however a problem. Also the sound quality is poor, Itunes enhances the sound alot, probably why it takes so much ram, this program however you notice the quality unless listend to on the poorest speaker system.

Version: Winamp 5.32
Pros: Simply the best audio player you can get. Audio quality is superb with full graphic equaliser settings. Visual plugins are fantastic and even video play is good too. You can also access and play radio stations from around the world and search and play free video clips. Good audio playlist and bookmarks organiser and editor. Fully skinable with free downloadable skins.
Cons: To burn Cd's at fast speed you need to purchase the pro version. Doesn't rip CD's.

Version: Winamp 5.32
Pros: I am using Winamp now, To be frank with you Winamp gives me more options than RealOne Player, Maybe Winamp cant play the .RAM sound tracks, But no doubt that Winamp is the best.
