Winamp

Winamp Media Player has become the main multimedia player for Windows users. This application was created by Nullsoft in 1997, and what started as a one man project, now has a full programmer team developing it.

  One of the main motives of Winamp Media Player's success is the simple design of it's interface and it's quick launching speed. Furthermore, it was one of the first programs that implemented the use of skins. The fact that the users can personalize the interface's design to their own tastes was a decision that most users liked.

  One of the other great advantages of this media player are the many free plug-ins that can be downloaded from the official Winamp website. There are many users that contribute to the project with their ideas and we can find great modifications that add features to the program.

  Some of the basic features, that the majority of people already know, are the sound equalizer that allows us to enhance each song with different frequencies, the playerlists, access to Internet radio broadcasts, the multimedia library, etc...

  Furthermore, in all these years of development, many new features have been added to the program:
- Gather Information of the "Current Playing" title, for songs, videos or photographs.
- Control Winamp from your browser, thanks to it's tool bar.
- Improved Flash contents compatibility.
- Massive batch tagging.
- Compatibility with multichannel MP3 enveloping sound.
- Play music and videos from the web, with Winamp Remote.

  All this added to the fact that Winamp can play most audio and video format, have made it the main media player for Windows users.

  Latest updates:
- Winamp Orgler.
- Improved iPod Sync support.
- New language packs and online services gallery.
