Winamp is not really available for the mac. Last version was a beta .71 from 2001. In the winamp forums they postulated that a Mac version wasn't worth the resources to increase market share maybe 5%, and that's assuming all Mac users abandon itunes, which isn't likely. CB Dane Trethowan wrote

Talking about Windows Media, that reminds me of a beta version of Windows media player for Mac. Yep it's true. I saw it a few weeks ago, but I had forgot all about it. I'll see how accessible it is just after I've send this mail and then let you know if it's accessible or useable. Best rega

No, its a third party tool to handle Windows Media, last I read on Microsoft's site, they weren't even developing their media format for the Mac and they were redirecting people to the Flip For Mac site, another good way to locate Flip For Mac is to go into your Apple Menu and select OS10 S

Some things I particularly like about VLC, its audio and video quality are better than Itunes and Quicktime, they both use the same decoders I believe. VLC handles .m3u playlists better than Itunes does and this could be important if you're running a network of Windows and Mac machines as

Hi folks, I'm quite a big fan of using VLC to play my media files. However, when using Winamp, it's very easy to find how at waht point in the track I am. This also works in VLC, but is there a way to change it from displaying in seconds to minutes please? Thanks james --~--~-~--~
