If Winamp is a little to complicated for you I might suggest that you keep using your proprietary Mac crap!

Naturally this behavior to anyone (particularly to a Mac user where crashes are few and far between) <lol> is totally unacceptable so back onto the machine went VLC media Player, it was listening to both that I make the following observations. Firstly, VLC does a far better job ad decoding media such as MP3 etc, you can hear the differences quite distinctly. Controls are similar to those presented in Winamp and in a lot of ways, VLC is easier to use with a screen reader, not as cluttered as Winamp seems to be. I've been using VLC on the Mac for ages but haven't had too much experience with it on the PC, the command set is slightly different but that's probably due mainly to differences in the keyboard layout between Mac and Trashbox Windows PC. For example, you go to previous and next tracks in VLC under the Mac using command-left and command-right arrow respectively, on the PC version you use P and N on the keyboard If anyone would like to give this excellent little media player a try then use your friend Google and look for "vlc", you'll have no trouble finding it. Takes up a lot less space than Winamp does plus it will play just about everything you can throw at it, including Cue and Wave/FLAC pairs.
