Do you guys use any cool Winamp plugins? Visualizations or general purpose ones, etc? I use Geiss and Milkdrops for visualizations, but I found a pretty cool one yesterday.

It's called Lyirk (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/221753), and it does just what you'd expect it to do from the name.. it lists lyrics to whatever song you're playing. If someone's uploaded karaoke files to whatever server it pulls information from, it'll highlight individual words as the song goes along. If you put it in systray mode, it'll show the lyrics line by line as the song goes along in the system tray (but if no karaoke file has been uploaded, it'll just display the song title.. click the title and it shows the lyrics).

The whole karaoke thing works with most modern music but not with older stuff. Anyway. Do you guys have any cool Winamp plugins you use?

I agree, foobar2000 does rule.
Winamp takes soo long to load.

How do you figure? It loads right up for me. Unless you're talking about loading a ton of files at once. I just loaded up 30 or 40 files with foobar and it took about the same time.

I have my whole D:\MP3\ folder loaded in foobar.. it's easy to skip around files and stuff.

I'm still using Winamp 2.81 and I don't have any problems with slowdowns. Of course the reason I never upgraded was because version 3.### slowed my computer down. Popular freeware has a tendency to get bloated and weighted down by too many features over time. I've been meaning to see if there are any plugins for version 2.###.
