    Grr. They're going to turn it into bloatware, I know.

    I wonder at which point a new underground project will show up and surpass Winamp in coolness.

              Sorry for being mainstream, but I use Windows Media Player. This doesn't affect me at all.

              I feel bad for your loss, however.

                Oh, yeah, forgot to mention: foobar uses the mpg123 decoder instead of the Fraunhoffer decoder that Winamp uses, meaning that the audio is higher quality. There is an mpg123 decoder available for Winamp, but it's in Japanese.

                        EH, I use iTunes. But to see winamp die like that is rather depressing.
