Winamp, initially launched in 1997, is a media player with which users can manage their music library and sync their music collection to the smartphones. Aside from those, users can also stream the music over the internet and share their favorite tunes with their friends.
One of the music-sharing functions of Winamp is that it is a powerful and customized tool which gives users access to a huge number of online radio stations enabling users to scan sites to download MP3 files to enlarge their music library. Furthermore, it also supports users to rip and convert music from DRM-free CDs and encode music in different formats like AAC and WMA which will be ready for burning to disc.
You can import your library from iTunes or upload files manually after you launch this music management tool. Either way, Winamp will change tagged information automatically into the correct categories. For instance, a tag includes the title, time, album name and artist's name. Winamp helps you auto-tag the file if the tag information of the file is missing.
The conversion software of Winamp allows you to convert files to multiple formats such as MP3, WMA, MP4, WAV, etc. The process is very quick which depends on the speed of your computer.
With Winamp, you can freely add files to a playlist, play a collection and copy the contents to your hard drive and more. Moreover, it also allows you to keep track of the history of the songs you've listened to.
Winamp helps you discover songs similar to the one you are listening, and you can also create playlists only by dragging and dropping songs. The music database software called Gracenote has a standard equalizer which allows you to adjust the quality of the audio. You can use the preset or make adjustments manually.
There is a MediaWiki which has a search feature in the help section. Winamp is available in 15 languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese and more. Meanwhile, Winamp also has the pages of blog, forums, tutorials and FAQ.
