Winamp is a proprietary media
player for Windows-based PCs, written by Nullsoft, now a subsidiary of AOL. It is freeware/shareware, multi-format, extensible with plug-ins and skins, and is noted for its graphical sound visualization, playlist and media library features. Winamp was released by Justin Frankel in 1997, and its popularity grew quickly, along with the developing trend of MP3 file-sharing.
Winamp supports music playback using MP3, MIDI, MOD, MPEG-1 audio layers 1 and 2, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV and WMA. Winamp was one of the first common music players on Windows to support playback of Ogg Vorbis by default. It supports gapless
playback for MP3 and AAC, and Replay Gain for volume
leveling across tracks. CD support includes playing and import music from audio CDs, optionally with CD
-Text, and burning music to CDs. The standard version limits maximum burn speed and datarate; the “Pro” version removes these limitations.
