Talking change file player

I'm trying a different file player to see if the music files cause the lock ups or the media player.

What's your opinion on Winamp 3? I installed once, and uninstalled 20min later, didn't like it at all. I'm still using 2.8. Thanks

Yea, I did the same thing. I just like the feel of 2 better. That's why I linked to the Winamp 2 page instead of the main 3 page.

While using it, I noticed that Windows Media Player actually has better movie playback than winamp 3, that's one reason I didn't keep it.
