Title: Nice MP3 player

Takes up 60% less CPU/MEM space than Winamp, is skinnable, has a "runt" mode (winshade equivalent), full EQ, visualizations, a mess of plug-ins, and it sounds pretty good too.

I prefer iTunes, but that is a very nice player indeed flakbait.

Ever since Windows Media Player started supporting mp3 format I haven't really seen the need for anything else.

If you like the sound of two songs playing at the same time, you'll dig this....

Here's two #1 songs by Nickelback... as one song.

Any of these programs have something similar to the Streamripper plugin for Winamp3?  I've been using winamp3 since forever because of that.  Many internet radio stations have felt the presence of oct :)

This is what I use:

It's the smallest and prettiest player with decent sound quality (better then Winamp, at least when I checked Winamp last time), and pretty easy to use.

WOW that's amazing.  I didnt notice at first cause one of my speakers is acting up.  They are almost perfectly synced.  I wonder if that's softwere or actual recordings.  

Would be interesting if they were actually recorded like that but one of them sounds kinda sped up but cant tell.

It's not about the tempo so much....

It's the formula.

The exact same amount amount of measures for the intro, the verses, and the choruses...

And where the bridge is placed. And how long it lasts. Same for the solos. All are identical.

And the simularity of the melodies.

It's the same song, basically, with different words and a slightly different melody.

I did some recording up in (er, down in, now) Vermont at this old hippy dude's studio. One thing he said I've always remembered. He said "Every band has just one song. One song, and they sing it over and over. They may seem different, but they're not."

Springsteen has spent the last umpteen years singing pretty much the same song.

Neil Young? Same thing. Think about it.

Pick any band, and it's the same song done differently.

That's not a knock... because the variations are a beautiful thing.

In Nickleback's case, though, it's a bit different. I recorded with Chad and he's one smart muther*****er... and his "one song" is no accident. He has everything calculated.

(He's gonna be a pretty big player long after people are sick of his band).

That's not a knock either. Getting to his level of success, even if you DO have the most brilliant calculations and a winning formula is still tantamount to winning the lottery. People are buying his records, which means they like them, which is pretty much what it's all about at the end.

The mix of the two songs just sort of shines a light on it. Doesn't mean it's neccessarily bad.

If you listen to any radio station that plays Nickelback, you're basically asking for it. :)

Boroda, that player is very nice!  It uses half the resources than Winamp.  Sounds just the same, if not better.  Everything is customizable too - neat player.  I'll be using this one for a while.
