-- Better than Winamp

Better than Winamp

My system started to reject winamp.exe (all versions) so I had to find some of the good old alternatives to Winamp. But on my quest I stumbled upon a player that is actually much better than Winamp.

I really REALLY like it, except for the green colours in the default-skin... Its got some really nifty default features, like the "Remote Control".


Quintessential Player


As for more quality alternative software, here's a webbrowser that actually beats Opera and IE down the drain.
Firefox
anyways, browsers are a whole other story, but check Quintessential Player out! I am not going back to bloat-Winamp5.03 again

You could also check out FooBar2000
It is pretty nice player also..

why does your computer reject winamp?


Posted by starglider on Jun-19-2004 01:16:

I like Quintessential, but I only use it for CDs.

No idea, it crashes 3 seconds after I execute Winamp.exe.
Tried all versions from 5.03 down to v2.75, this never happened before...

Don't really care, I like quintessential now

i don't use winamp because it uses too much of my cpu when i run it

it's ok, i like the old, old classic windows media player better anyways it hogs resources less when i'm running a crapload of stuff at a time

or find your problem in this list




Posted by T-1000 on Jun-19-2004 04:25:

Winamp 5.03a all the way. Sure, Winamp 2.91 does the job just fine.....but I haven't had any sort of problems with the new version, so I run it.


Posted by Electronicmaji on Jun-19-2004 05:14:

i use winamp 5 because it displays id tags on mp3s better but it crashes horribly


Posted by EliPsE on Jun-19-2004 05:35:

Im all about Itunes now.

WHo ever wanted winamp2.9x
http://oldversion.com/
THey have other shit there too


Posted by Electronicmaji on Jun-19-2004 05:46:

itunes was good for a while but seriously the start up time is horrible and the cpu load is like 75% so it sucks majorly

If Musicmatch Jukebox were a real person he would have already pimped each of your moms out by now!

anyone use video lan media player? http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

small, simple and it plays nearly any video format and to date ive had no codec problems with it, plus if you have a lan it can stream files from pc to pc over the lan or something like that, i dont have a lan atm so i wudnt know


Posted by Psy-T on Jun-19-2004 08:55:

2.91 all the way


Posted by zag2me on Jun-19-2004 10:35:

2.92 all the way baby.

Cant beleave people accept the version 5.xx just because its new. Its about 10 times slower than 5 and crashes alot, or did for me anyway.

Use the pitchfor plugin too and you can speed up or slow down any mp3, essential for any trance lover.

And the Nucleo skin makes it look all futuristic too.

i wouldnt mind changing from winamp, but im familiar with everything i can do with winamp.. i have 2.95, alls im after from a mp3 player is pitch adjust, equaliser, and an ok looking skin, oh and also being able to play locations/winamp TV and prolly doing a shoutcast if i feel like it
