The abundance of versatile audio and video players
can make it difficult to decide on a particular piece of software that
will serve as the default playback device for viewing movies and
listening to music. One of the biggest names in the business that used
to set the bar for the rest of the pack is Winamp and it still offers
one of the easiest ways to play any kind of multimedia file.
The
installation process allows you to configure many of the program's
features, including file associations (you can tweak this later as
well), but it also grants you the possibility to select which components
you wish to deploy on your computer. It's worth mentioning the fact
that the installer comes bundled with third-party software that can
modify some settings on your system, so extra care is required during
the setup process.
The user interface retains the attributes that
made Winamp one of the most popular applications all over the world:
strategically positioned buttons to allow effortless control over the
multimedia files listed in the adjacent playlist window. It benefits
from the same “Modern” skin support we've seen since version 3.0, along
with support for dozens of color themes for even greater
personalization.
Winamp is compatible with the majority of
multimedia files out there and during our tests we didn't encounter any
problems while playing all the files we had on our computer. On top of
that, it provides access to a huge Shoutcast Radio Stations collection,
so listening to good music is a matter of just a few clicks.
Extensive
audio and video customizations are available, including an equalizer,
over 100 visualizations and a handy playlist editor. With Winamp you can
also organize and manage all your songs and movies thanks to the
built-in 'Library'.
Aside from the multimedia player
capabilities, Winamp can also burn selected audio files to a blank CD
and can rip audio discs in several formats, including AAC, MP3, WMA and
WAV.
Last but not least, Winamp can easily be converted into a
real portable media player manager, as it can detect connected gadgets
to allow you to transfer music in a matter of seconds.
Still one
of the most popular multimedia players on the market, Winamp supports an
impressive range of formats, sports a well-organized interface and is
loaded with features and customization, attributes that help it stand
out as one of the top choices in this particular software category.
