poorly designed. layout of UI unacceptable.

Seems to use fewer resources than previous versions. Boot time defrag nice option though slow on multiple drive set ups. All annoying sounds and pop ups can be dis and re-enabled. Defaults are quite well thought out.

For filw mavens who use more than .mp3, this little, capable and very configurable bit of code is just what the doctor ordered. Almost every bit of this thing can be edited, tweaked or added on to. Fot the coder gurus, the available SDK lets you play god. The support forums for this are truly huge and active. Every version gets hammered in ways that Winamp could only dream about. The users of this program get this thing to do things i'm sure have the developer, Peter Paslowski, scratching his head. I love its low resource usage and high quality playback combined with the ability to burn audio CDs right from the playlist with no hiccups. It streams. It converts. It Replaygains. It plays .flac, .mp3, CD audio, .wma, .mod and brethren, speex, .aac, .mpc, .ogg, .wav, .aaif, .snd, .voc, shorten, .ape and I'm running out of room. It also supports console game music formats. It does all of this natively and seamlessly. Not bad for a freeware player.
