Additionally, there are countless plugins and skins available for Winamp 2.91, one of which is a crossfader that is just outstanding, but it will attempt to access the internet for a donation. Personally, I believe it is worth sending the author of the crossfader ten bux simply because I feel it is well worth it, and upon receipt of the funds, they will send you the key to disable the paypal function.

I will also agree in that version 2.91 is better than version 3, tried them both... 3 got uninstalled. I've been using version 2.x now for 4 years.... easy to understand and operate.

My two cents... hope that helps you with your decision.

  Winamp 2.91 (get version 2, not 3 - imho)
  www.winamp.com
  By default, there is an option to go online to get CD information, but this
  option is clearly shown during the install process, and is easily unchecked
  - just select "No Internet connection." when installing.  No spyware, no
  ads, and a great program.
