Description of Free Winamp Media Player - MP3, Multimedia, and Music Player

WinAmp plays MP3 files, along with lots of other audio file formats, so it's a must-have for audio afficionados. With simple controls that let you play, fast-forward, and rewind, and more advanced features including a spectrum analyzer and graphic equalizer, this download is feature-packed and user-friendly. The first time you use WinAmp, you'll progress through several dialogs that help you use the program and get comfortable with its features. Be sure to check out the tips tab located in the About dialog -- you'll see an assortment of hot-key combinations and easy methods for making WinAmp operations as simple as possible. The file types that work with WinAmp are given a file association with the program by clicking a single button, and WinAmp can be added to your Start Menu on the same screen. WinAmp doesn't stop there, though -- your customization options for WinAmp are nearly infinite, with "skins" that change the appearance of the program on your screen, and plug-ins that add to WinAmp's functionality. Thousands of different skins are available, most of them built by enthusiastic WinAmp users who want to give the program a slightly different look and feel, but some available skins alter WinAmp's appearance so radically you'll think you've downloaded an entirely new program. Whether you want to tweak the program a little or a lot, skins are a fun way to explore new options and keep your computer audio experience interesting. Add functionality to WinAmp by downloading plug-ins that are available at the WinAmp Website. Plug-ins are available including general plug-ins that let you use remote controls to operate WinAmp, audio enhancers, special effects, and much more. Visit the WinAmp website to get the tools to create your own plug-ins, if you're so inclined. Run WinAmp from the system tray, or in the taskbar like a normal Windows program, or both. You can even choose the WinAmp icon you'd like to use from several, unique choices. This download is not time-limited and contains no nag screens, so you can download and use it for free, guilt-free.
