I am using Windows Media Player, and if I can avoid, I would not like to install WinAmp.

you need to install this codec bs. I discovered .flac tends to get used on a lot of classical stuff, which is just plain ****ing annoying.. what's the different between 2.5 and 3 gig it's still a ****ing big download.
Thanks, you wrote this message at the same I was writing mine re.winamp and windows media player.

I was checking the installation of the codec you suggests but it only mentiones winamp... does it mean that I will have to install it then? Is there no other codec for wmp?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot. I was just against dl winamp because I have way too many thins already on my computer and I didn't want to install just another program for the sake of it. But, I would apprecciate if you could clarify with me in what sense is the media player so bad re. using lots of resorces. Shall I perhaps consider stop using it (and became a winamp **** as well?)

alameda, do yourself a huge favor and ditch Windows media player... I have a pretty decent comp, but even then WMP is sluggish. It must be torturous on slow computers. Winamp can play pretty much anything. I definitely recommend it.

ps: your name... are you an Elliott Smith fan? <3
