Yep, thought we'd hear the words blind friendly before too long, Winamp is certainly not the only accessible and user friendly media player on the planet and if anything I reckon its become less friendly as time has gone on.

I used to enjoy Winamp 10 years ago but lately its become bloated beyond belief, web site is difficult in parts to get around, does anyone really know what all the functions and plug-ins actually do?

Of course the other popular media player now is iTunes, Apple have really tightened things up in the last few versions, the software has been completely rewritten and - with most Screen Reading software - is very easy to use and get around.

very possibly, but certainly for VI user friendliness and ease of use, I for
one have yet to find something to stack up to winamp, especially for
audiobook playing. the way it has easy to remember keys, plus the jump to
time option, very handy for single file audio books, longer dramas, or
movies, that one may not listen to all in one go.

I use VLC and works well for me.

I'm sure there are thousands of other players out there and I'm equally sure
that others on list use other players than Winamp and use them well.

  Don't know what all the big noise is about given that there are plenty of
other Media Players out there available free of charge or for next to
nothing.

Hi all,

Sorry for the confusion. If you go to

www.winamp.com/media-player/all

and when you're at the top of that page use your screen reader's find
command to search for "Winamp.com" without the quotes and start reading
from there you should find the message about Winamp shutting down.

Regarding Winamp Pro the link I gave in my previous version is for the
free version of Winamp. However if you've already purchased a serial
number for Winamp Pro and entered it into Winamp the latest version will
turn into Winamp Pro. It looks like you can no longer buy Winamp pro
though. I've been using Winamp Pro since 2004.

Regards Steve.

Don't know. I got mine from their site, but when I went up there just
now, (and didn't find anything about anything no longer being available
after December 20), I did however find that the Winamp Pro store is no
longer available. There might be other places to get it though, albeit
not the latest version. Mine is version 5.62, but I don't know whether
that is the latest Pro version or not.
