Winamp has gone in the crapper the last few years.

Finally, we won't have to resort to the second rate rubbish that apple gives us. I'm looking forward to it.
Although, I must say I prefer WA3 compared to WA5b, because they haven't implemented crossfade properly and there is no winshade for my MMD3 skin, which is the best skin in existance, ever.

Screw winamp, go with foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/), a true audiophile's player. And don't reply back saying it's not pretty enough or that you can't figure out how to use it; you'd just be telling me that you're a n00b. Foobar is by far a superior player. If you're interested in knowing why, read the documentation, FAQ, and forums.
# 10 Re: Winamp5 to have iPod support!
I'm still using Winamp2 because my "POS" computer can't handle too many things at once. It's simple and it gets the job done.

Yep, but it isn't as good as iTunes, and the name is kindof wacko...

Than more we have different software with iPod support than better for us consumers, because vendors will compete and improve software. Good thing is also that major part of software free.

Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
No. Most of "sound quality differences" people "hear" are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). Foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.
Taken directly from their FAQ.
Foobar is such a n00b program. It doesn't even support ID3 v2 out of the box, wow, how amazing of a program. I hate to say this, but even iTunes beats it.
