Version: Winamp 5.5
Pros: I really like it because it uses less memory than Windows Media Player, and plays a load of file types. It's customizable, and you can arrange things however you like. You can create easy playlists (unlike Windows Media Player) and it has loads of free useful tools.
Cons: Sadly, it doesn't play DVDs, I wish it could, I would have dumped Windows Media Player for good!

Version: Winamp 5.5
Pros: Nicely done. It's got a heap of new features and it's a solid media player. WMP and iTunes have got a lot of competition. Older Winamp users will probably have to take a minute or so getting used to the new locations of a few things, but the icons are still the same so as long as you find the icons, you'll know what icon does what.
The most outstanding thing is the look. Old skins still work which is nice.
Cons: To be honest, you probably won't have to use the new features anyway. People who think it will take a lot of your resources; it really doesn't, and you can choose what you want to install so if you're concerned about space, don't sweat it. It doesn't even take a lot of memory to begin with.
