96196 2002-11-05 09:20:00 hey all,

I'm after an mp3 player with a customizable playlist and general buttons (play, stop, next track etc). Something similar to Winamp but for a computer at the lower end of the spectrum...

any suggestions would be sweet

thankies

96197 2002-11-05 09:25:00 doesn't MS Windows Media PLayer do that? :D or try MD (Media Detonator) i think i got it from tucows or somewhere like that. but it had a trojan in it a while ago, so be cautioned. vk_dre (195)

If it's doze, i'd go with winamp.... it even runs OK on my slug, but you will probably need an older version as the newer ones seem a little too slick and demanding. winamp 3 proved a waiste of time on my 450meg machine. I have some older versions here if you need them.

96199 2002-11-05 09:53:00 There's not much lighter than Winamp (lite install) ... Windows Media Player et al, are system hogs...

Lo.

96200 2002-11-05 10:09:00 try the latest Zoomplayer RC2. it fairly light weight now.

Download Zoom Player 2.90 RC2 (www.inmatrix.com)

96201 2002-11-05 10:18:00 Another vote for Winamp. If you get either version except the lite version, it will also play files encoded using the superior Ogg Vorbis format. segfault (655)
96202 2002-11-05 10:24:00 There is WinPlay3 which I used on my 486. Its very lightweight, but I think its playlist wasn't great. bmason (508)
96203 2002-11-05 12:03:00 Hi...

Try "Whisset' (From www.webattack.com), which loads quickly, and you can create a playlist via two tables. Skins can also be downloaded...

For a player and multi-titled playlist program (ie. by Artist, Year, A-Z' s, Genre, Mood type, conversions to WMA, WAV, Database access, etc..), and can add Winamp and/or skins, try Songs-DB also from webattack. I use this and is pretty good...even for the basic version...

Cheers..

96204 2002-11-05 23:08:00 Yeah, I use Winamp 2.78c on a P-120 with 16Mb, Win98se with no probs. antmannz (28)
96205 2002-11-06 00:15:00 There's some stuff called SoriTong
I got it to work on a 486DX50Mhz.
Quality wasnt the best.. It was running Win98SE with 24MB RAM.
Anything less and you'll have troubles getting MP3's decoded in time.

Anyways, do a search on google for it. It's origionally in some aisian language, but it translates and works fine for me on the older m/c's!

You can beat WinAmp 2.81 if you've got a Pentium m/c, otherwise, It's too much of a dog...

WinAmp 3, You'll need at least a 500Mhz with 64MB RAM if you're not running a NT based system and you plan to be playing ONLY MP3's and nothing else. WinAmp3 is good for playing Video's also, but you'd wanna go higher and have a 733Mhz with 128MB RAM really....

So, Check out SoriTong and let me know what you think. It's skinnable too!

Cheers
