Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 5.3x versions 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 5.35
"Best all round media player - by far"
Pros: Superb audio quality - this version seems better than ever. Very wide range of supported formats - even more with easy-to-install plug-ins. Lovely interface, highly configurable - lots of options - read the Help & FAQs! Absolutely unmatched library handling, tag editing, playlist creation and editing. Excellent streaming radio, with unique bookmark system; built-in ShoutCast tuner, or you can play from any radio web link. Very good portable device support, including iPod.
Cons: Can be a little slow starting, and in responding to control clicks if you don't focus the application first. No big deal, though. Can be very slightly fiddly to configure if you want to change the default layout. Ripping and burning pathetic in free version - don't even bother enabling them on the install. (Lots of options on the installer - take your time!) I'd recommending using one of the free standalone apps you can find here - Deep Ripper/Deep Burner for instance - instead.
