Tip 21: Why I use Winamp and not other media players

Global Hotkeys
emp_skin.jpgWhen you enable global hotkeys from options->preferences->global hotkeys you can play, pause, stop, volume control, etc. just by pressing the hotkey buttons without having Winamp in the foreground. I find this extremely handy when I'm working and need to turn off music without activating Winamp.

5 Cool Winamp Skins

  • MMD3 - Quite simply the best
  • Aqua X - Simple Mac Style
  • EMP - Compact, accessible and with an extensive colour scheme.
  • Lord of the rings - The only themed skin I've ever used
  • Fire Elemental - Excellent visuals, poor usability
