Hi there,

I am concidering changing audio program again, but I always seem to go back to iTunes for some reason.

So someone, please, pursuade me otherwise.

I am about to test the new winamp which was released a couple of days ago.

I would like something that will show album art and uses as less resources as possible?

What should i use guys?

Thanks...

Sorry I'm playing AAC files not MP3s.....and I dont think media monkey can play aac

I only want to change from iTunes as it has a service running even if the program isnt running.

what kind of system are you running that 4k of ram is important? seriously, everyone wants media players to use as little resources as possible when they all use an insignificant amount anyway. The only time any of them use up anything noticable is when I'm ripping CDs because they use about 100% of the CPU time.

It all adds up.....so 4K alone is not a lot but i'd rather not have it at all so things like BF2 run as best as possible.

Im not saying that 4K makes a lot of differnce, its just if I get rid of a lot of stuff that is small like that, it does.....

awesome combination

downloads the folder.jpg's from amazon

Yeah I was thinking of using Winamp it's just I have a few niggles. Will Winamp "consolidate" my library like iTunes does, because I really like that feature.

For instance when I add a file to my library, iTunes will create a folder for the artist and then a folder in that for the album and copy the file into there.....Is there a feature/plugin that will do this, that would make winamp the winner tbh.

Also can it convert to AAC?

Thanks...

[EDIT:]

Gotta love the first sig of the guy above....lol

I am quite liking Winamp again, is there any good skins that people can recommend.

I am running a Graphite type look in windows atm.

I can't seem to find those skins stellios, could you point me in the right direction.

Could anyone tell me what the name of the plugin is that displays album art on the desktop....i remember it was something like Winamp CD Case...?

(All the album art is stored in my AAC files if that helps)

Thanks....
