WINAMP Well the old popular music player is making its comeback in early next year(hopefully). Development of new version has started since its change of ownership from Aol to Radionomy. Website has also been rewamped. more news at winamp.com http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=374929#download
I've used Winamp for well over a decade and never had that problem. itunes on the other hand, the one time I decided to see what all the fuss was about it completely took over my music library and re-wrote all the file and folder names to random strings to stop me being able to use any other program.
I wouldnt get hopes up for a comeback though, the radionomy sale was years ago and bugger all has happened since. The download post you linked to is 3 years old.
Yep i saw those links are old but surely they must be developing a new version right ? I really hope they do release a new version.
