An alternative to WinAmp
 

Well, I'm back to the BB after a week+ in which I've had to replace my printer (R.I.P.), had a major computer crash, and had my car stolen (in that order!).
And here's the good news: dBPowerAmp Audio Player is now out of beta, and the full release r1 is available for free download.
I know that many (or should that be all) Napsterites favour WinAmp; I was a WinAmp user myself, until I installed dBPA.
Now, WinAmp is no longer resident on my computer.
I think dBPA (and its associated music converter) are more than worthwhile downloading. C'mon, give it a try!:D

was wondering where you were petriburg. that explains it. sounds rough. hope everything gets back to normal soon.

thanks for the latest tip, it must be very good to get you to uninstall winamp.

:) Thanks, J.S., it's nice to know that my absence was noticed.
And yes, so far as dBpoweramp is concerned, it is very good.
OK, you don't have a whole heap of skins to play around with, but the one it comes with is neat and functional.
What's more, for all of those members who like to play around with such things, dB offer a skin designer kit so you can make your own. What more could one desire?

I agreed their products are good!

Here are the links! ;)

Holy Cow, can so many things happen to one fellow in a week...

Good to see you back, but sorry you have had so many problems.

One good thing, the first version (real) of DBPA is out, I wonde if they have improved the converter? now that I find really useful, the player not so, I like to be able to dismiss applications directly, not go through a few steps to do it... Any changes there?

:) Hi, Snark, long time no see!
The new skin for dB poweramp audio player is pretty functional - it resembles a conventional component amplifier, and has all the necessary control buttons, including the one you so greatly missed - an OFF button (red) conveniently located in the top right hand corner. There is a selectable, matching, graphic equaliser which can be hidden or made to apppear by a button on the amplifier face. All in all, they've done, IMO, a very nice job.
What's more, as I think I've said once before, the dBpoweramp forum is most useful, and any problems attended to with an absolute minimum of delay (always allowing for time differences, of course, but that wouldn't bother you, Snark, cos you're on the same island!!!). Let's know if you think it worthwhile - me, I love it, and the converter as well. (A codec for mp3Pro is now available).
Finally, I suppose I should add, I have no connection with these people, I just like to share anything good that I discover, especially when its free!
