Reasons I Am Now Using WinAmp

I stopped using Windows Media Player 12 because:

• I couldn't get the "find album info" option to work, 
• There was no easy way to override the album information that WMP chose for a downloaded album
• When I manually added album artwork, it frequently pasted the same picture overtop of artwork for other albums for no reason - and there was no way I could undo it

I like WinAmp because:

• it loads more quickly than either WMP or iTunes
• all your WMP library metadata (including album art, ratings, playcounts, etc.) can be imported with the press of a button - with iTunes I could transfer my music library, but I would have to re-organize it all and find all the album art all over again for my downloaded music. 
• It has a customizable interface, unlike WMP
• It is easy to update and edit album information, unlike WMP

Much the same as my journey from Internet Explorer to Firefox to Google Chrome, and from MSN Messenger to Facebook to Blogspot, I have gone from a program that I always used to a program that does the same thing better to a program that does what I really want it to do. Technology is wonderful.
