i am tempted, just used to wmp and not sure if its worth the trouble.

wmp is quite bloated though compared to winamp. you should try it for a few days and see. more skins than you can shake a stick at, too.

it protects winamp's file associations.

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:05 pm

its just one of the things at install options, wondering if its worth having or not.

Thus, useless

it's useless if you don't install any other media player again and/or you're VERY careful during the install of said player.

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:07 pm

fuck it, going for full install

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:08 pm

skip the aol crap

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:09 pm

so, any noob tips?

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:12 pm

get yourself some skins. you can get both "classic" and "modern" - modern having the "neeat-0" factor, but in exchange for a larger memory footprint.

i don't use the library, so someone else might be able to tip you on that. don't get carried away with the EQ. also that's one less window to have to look at with some skins. i always just have the main window itself and the playlist visible.

Is there a way i can import all my wmp playlists into winamp?

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 11:22 am

guess not?
