What Winamp Offers Me that iTunes Doesn't

I have been reading quite a bit on this forum about various bugs and things that need to be fixed. I wanted to take the time to point out some of the ways in which Winamp (even in this beta phase) surpasses iTunes as far as functionality.

I originally heard of Winamp when looking for a media player that didn't end up making duplicates of all of my downloads. From a file organization standpoint, iTunes was not very flexible especially because it needs all of your music in one folder. I like that Winamp can reference several folders.

What are some other facets of Winamp that you guys feel are better than their iTunes counterparts?

For starters, iTunes wont sync w an Android natively. Ive been using WinAmp off and on literally since v1.0. It was either Windows 3.0 or Windows 95. I originally started using it because of Skins, something else iTunes doesnt do to my knowledge. I have to say that i am a bit disappointed in the Mac Sync beta. Seems pre-Beta to me.
