I am in love with Winamp… Or should I say I was?..

It takes ages for winamp to open first, whereas WMP loads instantly. Also winamp uses 5 mb memory and 23 virtual, whereas WMP uses 3 and 10 respectively. Also face the fact that Winamp’s video playback sucks. Plus I downloaded this awesome skin for WMP yesterday.

Now what should I use?! :sigh:

Which do you prefer?
