I miss the Auto-Tagger in Winamp (unless I know exactly the track titles and such, there is no way that I know of to get the information; even when I find out, then one must do it manually! Outside of that, I still will continue to use Winamp as my "player of choice!" Tom Kaufman

The chief problem I've had with not having an update to Winamp is that it doesn't know what CDs are anymore, except those newer ones that have their track data embeded in the CD itself. I have gotten some of those recently. But most CDs still come back Unknown when I try to rip them with Winamp. However, now that I've found a CD ripper that usually does know what it's ripping, and that works very well, (EZ CD Audio Converter), not being able to do it with Winamp is not such an issue anymore. So it would be nice to see that someone was behind the program, but it doesn't matter as much to me now as it used to. As long as it keeps working I'll keep using it for what it can do.

I think it works beautifully with the window-eyes scripts. Unless someone comes up with a feature that we just gotta have, i'm happy with it staying the way it is.
