Winamp plays MPEG Layer 2 (MP2) and Layer 3 (MP3) audio streams, and combines extensive functionality with an intuitive interface (see screen shot). It has a full-featured playlist editor and a ten-band graphic equalizer with user-definable presets that can automatically load specific files. It also features Windows Media Technology 4.0 input/output support and the industry-standard Fraunhofer MP3 decoder. This download no longer includes VIS/DSP plug-ins; you can download them separately here. Version 2.65 brings improved MP3 HTTP streaming, fixes to the ex-M3U bug/security hole, and other minor fixes.

"Winamp is simply the best MP3 player out there."
Winamp does it all. It's easy on the RAM, turns out GREAT sound, and is very easy to use. Plus, the plugins, visualizations, and serving extras are awesome. Winamp is simply the best player there is, and I recommend it to everyone.
