    Winamp 5.05

    If you are using an older version of winamp say 3.0 onwards... you should really upgrade, a month ago Nullsoft annonceed that there was a security flaw with the software.

    This has been fixed in the latest version.

    I have tried using iTunes/Media Player and a whole bunch of others.. but Winamp is by far the superior Mp3 player (especially version 5.. all the perks of 3 with the added bonus of being as fast as version 2!)

    As far as sound quality is concerned, it is comparible to Foo... people who say there is a large difference are liars IMO... anyway download and enjoy

    its with the skinning feature, some website force it load a modern skin which can use the embedded browser and load other nasties.. heres the quote from Nullsoft.

    This skin launches an embedded Internet Explorer browser within the Skin using a feature of the Winamp Modern Skin Engine. This malicious Winamp Skin then uses the browser to launch a malicious application bundled within the skin.
