Out of curiosity, does Winamp 3 work with the Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro yet? In every version I've tried the multimeda buttons don't work, yet in 2.7whatever, they did.
Incidentally, here's my screenshot of XMMS in Linux, which I use faaaaar more Kinda the same as Winamp though
That's something you would have to check with Microsoft. The WinAMP player does not intercept key presses from your keyboard, it's the keyboard drivers which pass the press on to a program.

Ouch... a bit below the belt M8. It's GR8. Never crashed on me so far...
The first V3 release crashed all the time, with numerous little bugs which really peeved me.... But not they seem to have resolved all the issues, and we're back to having a good all-round MP3 and MPG player.
I dont even run winamp on the same computer i work at. I need to look at it about that much. As long as it plays music, ill be sticking to 2.8... 3 is just bloated.

Try it again... i bet you change your mind.

its just the fact that there is too much overhead with it.. winamp 2 does what i want.. which is play music.. i don't need fancy skins or anything... 99% of the time it is minimized anyway...
BTW... on a side note.. i found that you can minimize wmp to its own bar in the task bar... and that you can watch video in a little pip window.. its pretty cool for when you want to watch something.. but also work on something else..
in addition to that winamp3 is bloatware, it doesn't really support any plugins

writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

As normal people don't want to wait 1 minute for Winamp to load to listen to a 5 sec sound file.
For waves and MIDIs and most other small files I still use mplay32! its small fast and has virtually no overhead whatsoever! Isn't backwards compatability great?!
p.s. if your wondering what Im talking about, go to 'run' in the start menu and type 'mplay32'
Haha, I remember that. Winamp2 is a good compromise between performance, functionality, and looks, in my opinion. I'll show you some of the skins I have:
First is my general usage, looks good in both shaded and non-shaded:
