there was a couple versions of it that were buggy now and then. but this version is pretty much solid. it is the last version after all.

but a side from the music store. itunes doesnt do anything better.
not being able to make VBR mp3's on it hurts a LOT, vbr's will give you better quality at less space. better with less space then itunes aac format also.

i find the drag and drop on winamp actually works faster. and in itunes, i have to click on a song, hold shift and click on the others to highlight the ones i want. Winamp i just draw a box around it with the mouse. works much faster when you doing a lot of highlighting.

Also winamp TV is cool when theres actually a channel thats not full. lol.

that and winamp can do a lot more with plugins and things.

for thoes ipod lovers they even got a pretty cool skin, it makes winamp look exactly like an ipod. menus and everything. scroll using the scroll wheel on it and use it just like a real ipod. lol. i dont use it but it was neat anyway.

I've been using Winamp since....well since Winamp 2 and I've never had any problems with it. I like it better than anything I've ever used before incuding iTunes. But that's just my experience. Of course some people will have problems with it.

I prefer iTunes after using Winamp. I just found it too clunky most of the time. I find iTunes to be more sleek and stylish. And, I can control iTunes with my keyboard and I could never get it to work with Winamp.

I liked Winamp for playing IE plugin links like midi and such but when it comes to listening to music I choose iTunes.

iTunes lets you listen to some good radio stations and the music store. Also, iTunes has a list of all your playlists right there waiting to be played, whilst in Winamp you must load a playlist. Unless that has changed in the current version?

I prefer Winamp over iTunes. It takes up less memory, and it's usually open when my computer is on. Hell, I've almost considering giving Winamp the permission to load on start-up, but I don't want to clutter my memory.

iTunes is....well, for me, it's in the same boat as Windows Media Player and Real Player. Quicktime is poopy too.

Quicktime isn't poopy because it's the best for watching streaming game trailers and movie trailers.... gametrailers.com.... Quicktime is the best choice for me... the WMP trailers dont load for me....

I use Quicktime when I go to gametrailers as well.

Also, it's the only format that photoshop recognizes, so if I want to put a video in my work, I have to have it in quicktime format.
