Quoted: MusicMatch.com WinAmp has a lot more junk to go with it but IMO MusicMatch Jukebox is the best player around. I agree. I tried Winamp for a while but the damn thing would lock up all the time and was a general pain in the ass. Music match has never given me any trouble and works all the time. BTW, I think he meant "Fractals" |

1) Stay away from any version of WMP higher than 6.4 (the one that came with Win2k). It's slower, more prone to skipping, and a general PITA (based on my experience with it on my laptop. Winamp and Windows Media Player 6.4 worked, WMP 7 was unintelligable (and I had to re-install Windows to get MP3 playback back)). Plus, it's got Microsoft 'DRM security' (Read file-playback-denial) all the way through. MS media players AFTER the (bland, but functional) one you have are JUNK. 2) Use WinAmp. It's small (> 1MB), fast, and stable, with no special 'security' code of any kind. And it's not made by Microsoft. |
