Hi. Please forgive me, but I don't believe you read all the way through the
web page.
To be sure myself, I went to http://www.winamp.com myself, and I found, and
was able to download (though I didn't, because I already had the player on
my system) Version 5.21 in Lite, Full, or Bundle modes for free.
Yes, the site sells Winamp Pro (it is a business, after all, just as
Realplayer and Microsoft are), but if you carefully go through the links,
you WILL find the free player. I found it using JAWS 5.1 and a Powerbraille
40. Quick hint: Tab through the links--the ones you will want are located
after the "Gopro" links, and are listed as "Bundle,", "Basic", "Lite",
"Full", and "Download". It's not that hard to find this stuff if you know
where and how to look.
To all, take care.
