Winamp vs. Windows Media Player

musiqhead · 14th February 2004, 21:04

Hello, I am doing research on winamp and windows media player. So far Winamp is kicking Windows butt with tons more features. There is one feature that I am not noticing so I decided to come on here and ask. I want to use a flash player of my own design to play the music from a html page. I noticed with Windows Media player you can make buttons and volume sliders, here is an example: http://www.spraydio.com/player/index.jsp?roomID=40
is this possiable with winamp? Also I have windows 2000 server on my server, currently it set to web mode, Im getting another server for media and set that one to media server so i can run streams, that is what i need correct? To run shoutcast? anyways please help.....THANKS in advance.

WinAmp is better, but that's a biased opinion. You cannot embed WinAmp, unfortunately.

For RealPlayer, Windows Media Player:
