Three-second review: Wow, this would be really great if I was still a twelve-year-old boy who thinks that white text on a black background is the bee's knees.

Also that twelve-year-old boy would probably have to not be used to playing all of his music out of a few Smart Playlists. Not that I've downloaded and tried Winamp but I am guessing it doesn't do those because no "iTunes alternative" has ever had that.

But I guess the people who actually spend a lot of time looking at their music player will like this because it can import the awesome skin with a hot anime babe on it that they had to abandon when they switched to a Mac? I guess. I dunno, iTunes spends 99% of its time on my machine hidden, being controlled by Quicksilver hotkeys, and telling me what's playing via Growl alerts.



Just wanted to say, your comment is not very useful.

You admit that you haven't downloaded it, yet write a lengthy "review". If you had downloaded it, you would know it has no skin support.


You must live deep in the land of tl;dr if five sentences is "lengthy".

But thanks for correcting my speculation. Wow. No skin support? That seemed to be one of the killer features of Winamp judging from all the screenshots I used to see. I guess the "killer" feature is "moves music between iTunes and your Android phone", which I've been happily using Salling Media Sync for ever since I got a N1.
