Hi folks.
The issue might come down to simply the issue of tagging of ripped music -- the old Winamp uses a much better music db for retrieving especially classical music info -- while the other uses freed.db etc.
For merely just as a media player VLC (free as always) works fine both on Windows and Linux - identical GUI and functionality and can play almost every known codec in the universe.
I used to use winamp a lot but I prefer now the paid version of dbPoweramp which rips CD's fine and retrieves album art etc - I still have loads of older CD's which I'm digitising to flac.
Nero's CD ripper (yes Nero is still around) for around €7.00 a year uses the gracenotedb as well if you can't find any other music db to "auto tag" your files -- in C21 manual tagging is much tomuch of a chore !!!!
Other than that the choice is probably more on what GUI you like rather than the specific application. I used tolike Winamp years ago but dbPoweramp suits me fine -- I'm not against decent paid software if it does the job properly and is "sensibly priced" - and doesn't incessently nag for upgrades, bury extra for new features etc etc.
A bit O.T here on a Windows Forum but if any of you have any Linux experience or running Linux VM's then a great Free program k3b does most of the stuff the other programs do but also have a few extra features like creating DVD's, audio cd's, ripping tracks etc wuth a decent GUI.
