Can you please recommend a good MP3 player for use in Windows 2000
and probably also Windows XP for listening to a teleconference file
Please suggest a source for the MP3 player too.

159531 2003-07-14 11:54:00 I agree with Warren, only they were at 2.91 and due to releae 2.92 shortly when I last checked...

It now plays Vidz in 2.9x :-)

Well worth even the "minimal" download :-)

159534 2003-07-14 20:46:00 Thank you Chilling Silently and tweak'e for your helpful replies.
I see on the WINAMP.COM that Winamp 3.00 was apparently released 12.16.2002
and Nullsoft Winamp 2.91 was released 4.17.2003 if that is what the dates on
those pages are referring to. So is version 2.91 more recent than version
3.00?? Are they improving what was 2.82 and at the same time commencing to
develop a version 3.00 -why? Warren mentioned Winamp 2.8 as better than
3.0 -I can't find version 2.81 -is the 2.91 just as good as 2.8? I take it
that 2.91 *will* be better than version 3.00-why?
Can someone direct me to a very good quality speech mp3 file as I want to
compare a mp3 teleconference mp3 file with it as I think the quality of the
file sent to me may be poor.

159535 2003-07-15 00:36:00 the 3 series is a complete rewrite of winamp. unforunatly it also makes it more bloated. it dos have a new features etc but a lot of people still like the old 2.X series exspecially as there is a huge amount of plugins advialable for it.

they are still improving the 2.x series hence why 2.91 is newer than ver 3.

or ICQ:

I can help you out a lil more with quality etc.

As for WinAmp, yes, 3 was released and supposed to be more "flexible" in plugins etc, with plugins being able to use the functionality of each other.

But I agree it is a whole lot more bloated!
They just released 2.90 a month or two back adding Video Playback to 2.xx, and 2.91 came out shortly after :-)

Dunno what they're going to do 5 releases from now.. 2.95, 2.96, 2.97, 2.98, 2.99 and then what? Certainly not 3.xx ;-)

159537 2003-07-15 07:02:00 Gee

Even i'm learning stuff i didn't know

Tried 3.0 but didn't like it
