Why Winamp Is Very Popular In The World?

shabaviz55 · 14th August 2002, 10:54

How much popular Winamp in your country?

Magic_Midget · 14th August 2002, 10:57

I believe its usage is widespread in both US and Europe.

Atmo · 14th August 2002, 11:09

The rate of winamp addiction is spreading in australia too...

rm' · 14th August 2002, 11:10

Winamp: better then crack.

Lapikas · 14th August 2002, 11:13

I guess it's spread allover scandinavia too. Atleast many of my friends use it.

Bilbo Baggins · 14th August 2002, 12:23

Most people that I know use it, and it has even made the BBC news before now.

s1138 · 14th August 2002, 12:35

hmm..people down in georgia must suck...

most people use MMJB or WMP, or RealOne

ah well, ive still found a few people who use winamp (even some of my teachers

fwgx · 14th August 2002, 12:48

Someone really should make a Solaris port so I can use it at work

Win-ap iz da dogz. Foo

Edgar Gonzalez · 14th August 2002, 13:22

All my friends use it, they say it's cause its the best Media Player system ever..

zootm · 14th August 2002, 15:21

my friend used realone.

now he's not my friend.

ComputerWiz311 · 14th August 2002, 15:24

Most of the people I know use Winamp over any other media player.

CrowbarTK Hullo · 14th August 2002, 15:26

most people i know have never even heard of it. :\

Twinsen · 14th August 2002, 16:16

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Here on "CHILE" (does somebody knows it?) winamp is the most-used
audio player...

I beleave that in any country is the same.

Because Windows Media Player sucks!.... :/

OutKast · 14th August 2002, 16:19

Weird! (I before E except after the C doesn't apply here why is that?)
But at my school everyone uses WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER! Dunno why! Oh well.

?? linkage??

josf · 14th August 2002, 16:54

In holland its popular 2, ever since the first version came out,
why ?

- its easy to use
- its free (of course)
- and its not mircosoft (thats very imp.)

but they have to improve version 3 as there are 2 many problems with it.

I removed it and reinstalled 2.80 again .

But i like the new version the sound and visualizations were prefect. If it only played audio cd's

Namelessv1 · 14th August 2002, 17:21

Well, alotta my friends use Winamp here in California.

Shenlong · 14th August 2002, 17:47

I don't know if my friends use it, but I've mentioned it during some coversations once in a while...

n_ick2000 · 14th August 2002, 18:06

A lot of people around here are ignorant and use whatever comes with their computers (WiMP). But the intelligent ones use Winamp.

eleet-2k2 · 14th August 2002, 18:45

Hey, no one mentioned Canada!

Well, Winamp is quite popular in Canada and is growing in popularity quite rapidly in Italy.

True story: Last time I was in Italy (I think it was 1998-9), I went to their equivalent of Radio Shack, and there was a computer on display. So like me, I went up to it to see what was on the computer and low and behold was Winamp playing a 16 hour playlist.

It had the base skin though.

Vie · 14th August 2002, 19:09

I'm glad Plymothians have never herd of it, theyed com on asking why it dosent play such and such a file. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PRESS PLAY YOU BLOODY MORRONS! sorry it's just there geting on my nerves at the moment, seems to come once a month or so.

PS you seen Apollos? (Inatlantis) I know he whent of to Grease I thought hed be back by now.

insomniac · 14th August 2002, 21:39

Most of the people here in Alabama don`t know what Winamp is. They use that little player in Napster still. Why? Because they don`t even know what folder their mp3`s are in.

Aquila Blue · 14th August 2002, 23:13

I think that by a good estimate of how popular winamp is in the world is to look at the number of ppl on the forums that are from certain areas. Not without bias, but I think it gives you a good idea. For example there are a lot of people from the United States, a good number from Canada (woo hoo!) and a lot from United Kingdom (also woo hoo) and quite a few from various other European countries and other places in the world too.

W00t!! Alright Canada. Ya, I think that these forums represent the variety of people from around the world that use it and also the popularity of Winamp worldwide.

Oh and i dunno if winamp is popular here in phoenix.. but from the looks of it i guess not, but i never ask anyways so

If you ask sawg, maybe he can give a more accurate answer...

james · 15th August 2002, 00:25

I'm a Winamp evangelist, if I find anyone not using it I force them to download it

I should burn it to a 80mm cd and keep in my pocket, lol

mayorbill · 15th August 2002, 01:04

some slut told me about winamp a few years ago, i believe it was at 2.61 then. fuckin 2.61 had a memory leak and puked all the time, but after 2.62 it was smooth sailing.

jyvasaa · 15th August 2002, 02:02

people here in suburban philly seem to have no clue about winamp. but i do.

whips wma's ass!

rm' · 15th August 2002, 02:11

If you visit the Winamp3 and tech support forums, you'll get a good idea of the geographic distribution of Winamp.

I remember seeing a user from Egypt once, so that covers every continent on the planet except Antarctica.

whatboy · 15th August 2002, 03:17

It rocks In with winamp in Miami
everybody knows about winamp if they play music on there pc they have come across it some how.

There are some people that dont know who is George W. Bush

spanky · 15th August 2002, 05:01

George W. Bush?

who the hell ... ?

Winamp3 isn't catching on at all. boo.
"Winamp" is a common household name in the places where I've lived. (NYC, NJ, VA/DC) It's somewhat uncommon that I come across a person who hasn't heard of it before. I know of no one who uses WA3 and very few who still use WA2. It's interesting to talk to those who *just* discovered it.
"Dude, there is this awesome audio player I want you to check out. It can play audio files called mp3s on your computer." "Oh yeah, what's it called?" "Winamp"
OMFG, where WERE these people when the "mp3 revolution" struck? Were they lost in a cave? Lost at sea? Asleep? Wearing diapers? (oh boy, that one is probably true)

Insomniac7891, I feel sorry for those who still use Napster to play their mp3s. ha, if they only had half a brain and the patience to learn. /sighs

shabaviz55 · 11th October 2003, 12:24

I am agree with rm', because of vast popular in the world.
