Excellent, For me is the best audio player
flopezbMay 8, 2018
Pros
Good playlist generator Good sound Equalizer with presets for each song Easy to use and versatil media library.
Cons
Auto-tag doesn't work
Summary
Last version seems to be 5666 built 3516
Unrivaled winner - Still the most advanced mp3 player!
2ScrutinyJune 6, 2017
Pros
The player is lightweight and uses no PC recourse. Easy to customize, even the tags, and playlists. Very few apps of this kind can crossfade so seamlessly. It can normalize the sound level of each track and can export m3u playlists. It keeps track of statistics about playing (how often, when, unplayed tracks, etc). Advanced skins are available in the Winamp forum site.
Cons
It was bought by a French company who simply drowned its progress as it was becoming too successful. The website claims "There's more coming soon" for over 5 years now. (Is 10 years soon then?). No support since 2000.
Summary
Despite not being upgraded, it is still the most advanced mp3 player out there. If you are serious mp3 enthusiast then this is for you. Bulky iTunes is very unfriendly to mp3 and won't deliver the statistics or customizability that Winamp can. It's free and will not make you dependent on 3rd party software or formats (Apple + Mac association)
Works well on Win7, hope new release will be ASAP

hairybeast69January 12, 2017
Pros
didn't get a chance to try it... only gave it a 1 star rating because I couldn't try it
Cons
couldn't get the small box to a larger size even with instructions given in a previous comment, so I'm not able to give it either a good or bad rating
Summary
The best in my opinion, media player, especially audio
Ibrahim FiskiranJanuary 13, 2016
Pros
Best audio player So fast and handy Easy to use Support most files Video, movie support Could be specialized to any user Lots of other contents Free and commercial use (Pro version)
Cons
Nothing I have seen Better than the past versions now
Summary
It's my first choice The best audio player, one of the best media players Special, individual, private configuration Fast and handy Best media application in my point of view
Outstanding audio player!
GCG1000December 31, 2015
Pros
Winamp offers a comprehensive GUI, utilizing audio rack design, which provides the user with a flexible playback, yet complete, listening environment; NONE of the current players come close to Winamp's quality or performance! Sound quality is superb through my dual amplifier driven speakers..
Cons
Sadly, Version 5.666 is the last release. (Maybe Winamp will be resurrected in the near future!)
Summary
Winamp pro edition is currently FREE and absolutely top notch! iTunes, MS' Groove and VL's audio quality leave much to be desired; Winamp is truly the best audio player for Win 10, nothing else comes close!
Just great

Summary

Help, I can't see it!
mgsimmAugust 15, 2015
Pros
I love the quality of my music.
Cons
It's so tiny, I can't see it (unless I sit on the edge of my chair & get up close to my computer).
Summary
Love it!!!

Pros
Winamp has been around for almost the history of the web. Its been my #1 player since v2.0. The number of skins is massive. Great eye candy plugins.
Cons
Won't play .flv files. Hard to find. Company seems to become unstable; takeovers, buyouts, etc. The future of Winamp is debatable and uncertain.
