Is this Winamp?

Hello. I have Winamp Sync installed on my 10.8.3 OSX and here are some of my opinions:
- first, why on earth I have to click on "repeat" and "shuffle" each time I start this app??? Why doesn't it remember this?!
- there's no playlist entry option on the right click menu...this was very helpful on Windows.
- the size is HUGE, and I can't make it smaller, only bigger. Why?!
- what's with the play queue?! I hate this, I miss my "j" key for searching and playing, now if I search for a track the playlist is gone and Winamp plays only what's on that queue. Very, very weird.

That's about it, so far. The app is too basic compared to the Windows version. Sorry, but as much as I hate iTunes, for example, it's much better than this...

I think for now its not getting developed. it seemed to just be a way for mac users to get tunes on their droid, not much else. they might come back to it, after they get the betas of regular winamp, droid, and the cloud done, but they might not.

i'd like to see them flesh this out a bit though.

Oh, it's definitely still being worked on. Just that there hasn't been a new open beta for a while....
More and more features will come in time :-)
