“Reduced version of the popular media player”

by Bartley Sharkey about Winamp

Winamp was born as a very basic media player and has slowly but consistently improving for many years.
Its main purpose was to be completely customizable and through the years, many people have contributed to a library that now consists of thousands of skins and loads of plug-ins.

Winamp offers everything you might want in a media player. Using the skins, you can set Winamp to look like the original or the current default which looks great and puts you in control of all your media quickly and easily.

I particularly like the minimized player that consists of a small bar that you can place on the edge of your screen. Of course, if neither of these agree with your taste you can download and try any of the thousands others available on the Winamp website.

Winamp supports a wide range of file formats, and because the program is small and simple, it works quickly on almost all computers. Have a look through the available plug-ins and you will also find that you can hook up your iPod and manage its music library.

Winamp may have been around for ever, but it hasn't been left behind and is a fully featured music player that's really customizable.

Pros
  • Quick and efficient media player
  • Highly customizable
  • Support for many formats
Cons
  • None so far

Developer's description

Winamp Lite is a small version of Winamp, it weighs less than one megabyte, that will essentially let you play audio files and use classic skins and plug-ins.

Great to fit onto your desktop and if you don't to use up to much hard drive space. However, if you want to enjoy the complete benefits of Winamp, you should install the Full version instead.
