Winamp has the most users, the most skins and just about the most of everything else. But is it the best? You bet! The pioneers at soft may have taken their share of hostile fire, but they continue to innovate and inspire. They were the first to have playlists, the first to stream MP3s and they've still got the most popular MP3 player on the market. In an increasingly crowded field, Winamp seems to have found what works and stuck with it. With very few cosmetic changes since its inception, Winamp does have some important changes to its code. First, it's stable. In fact, it's the least buggy player we've seen yet. One of the features that made it a hit when it came out is still making waves--skins. Winamp made popular the idea of customizing the look and feel of an application--that idea is still popular. In the lastest version, Winamp adds ID3v2 support, improved streaming and more.
