Winamp is one of the leading applications in the domain of media players and over time, the developers managed to increase its functionality in order to provide high quality services for the users. A lot of various video and audio formats are supported by the application and even newer MKV files can be played. Subtitles support has been enhanced and now there are various editing tools for the files, either in order to synchronize them or to change various options regarding the used font and its size, the position on the screen and even the color of the background.

Winamp is extremely customizable and each window that it has can be resized to fit on the screen exactly where the user wants to. The main media player features a small window where the control buttons are located, along with a slider that allows users to easily skip through a file. However, this is not the only window that can be used, and the other important one features the playlist. Various keyboard shortcuts are available for users that want to navigate faster throughout different features of the tool and they can be customized.

A good equalizer is featured and it uses a more professional approach than the same feature of other media players, allowing for a better customization of each field. Streaming radios or other types of media from the internet is also available and there are various protocols supported. Burning CDs is now possible with the aid of the app and it is pretty easy to do it, as the majority of settings are preset and there are just a few clicks that a user has to make. Other than that, there are a lot of custom skins available and they can be imported with ease in the library for easy access.
