Play MP3 audio in style
Winamp is a power-packed MP3 player for Windows 95/98/NT. MP3 (layer 3 MPEG) is a popular way to distribute audio over the Internet, giving you near-CD quality sound in a very small package. This highly configurable and great-looking tool gives you a spectrum analyzer, digital equalizer, downsampling, downmixing, playlists, a full-featured ID3 tag editor, enhanced windowshade mode, and even an oscilloscope. All this in a neat little package that installs without a hitch. You can even configure Winamp to display its icon in the system tray, the taskbar, or both. Plug-ins let you process all kinds of audio files, including .mp2, .mp3, .wav, .mod, .xm, .it, .s3m, and .voc. 'Skins' let you change the look and feel of Winamp to your liking, and there are literally hundreds of them available on the Internet. Best of all, Winamp runs in a very small window that gives you quick access to all the controls. Winamp is the only MP3 player you'll ever need. Reviewed on Oct 8 1998.
