the secret, if you ask me, is to use an older version of winamp. (you know, the last version of the old school gui winamp, forgot the version number)

also, you stuck with winamp instead of going for foobar? is it too ugly for you or what?
old winamp eh? winamp or foobar..well, im choosing winamp because my lil bro likes that plyer and now i con block all app from going online with comodo firewll~

Your lack of comment on foobar offends me. it's the only player constantly referred to by everyone in the thread. O_o

honestly though, i think it's ugly, but it works and it resides in my systray most of the time so i don't really care. and if i had to have something on screen, i just activate the visualization, so there's absolutely no reason for me to prettify the gui. unless you count choosing the layout of the elements as prettifying.

also, wyh you sudendly spaek liek 1000maH

.
I've always used the minimal, lite install of WinAmp.  During install I always disable/deselect all the online garbage and strip it to music player only, no skins, no other media, etc.  For other media I have other tools (pix: IrfanView, video: MPC-HC).

I have no issues with my WinAmp installs ... they never go online, they never try, they have no need.  They exist to play what is on my hard drives and obey me because I Am t3h kami-sma over them.

I lieks FooBar also.  A lot.  Takes some adjustment and learning, but haz powerful toolkit.  Mostly I use it to populate metadata when ripping FLACs, and great for converting from lossless to *.MP3s when needed.
im already installed winamp last night and follow what you said; just select music player-related...not working...
in the end, i block winamp with comodo firewall... ;D
eh ive had tons of problems with winamp it crashes constantly whenever it updates or refreshes my roughly 13k song library it just shits the bed

Online metro.

Yeah, you can skin the hell out of Foobar I think. It is the more reliable of the two.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

Hmm, Kyrdua, ever tried foobar themes ? I think they make your foobar one of the most beautiful gui interface among all the music player, if not always the best.

You might as well show that to your lil' bro Clannad_92. I think he like's Winamp just cause it looked pretty, though after seeing those themes he might think again. ;)

Of course I've heard of the themes for foobar. I just don't use them because of the mentioned reasons.
