A valid reason. I wasn't criticizing your use of it. I was simply pointing out the technical fallacies in the 'technical' document you posted. It appears to me that, in this instance, it would be like a man going in for a hysterectomy. Totally unneccessary since we lack the plumbing they're trying to remove.

But I don't think one should write off Winamp just yet - I use several plugins now that are not made by so called AOL. So I will continue to use WInamp for listening on my PC.


Bingo. The fact that the company that produced it no longer exists will have no effect on already installed software. If it works for you, then by all means use it. If DFX improves the quality (likely because of the higher frequency enhancements and best-guess sampling and stereo algorythms), then by all means use it.

ON the PDA, however, there is no Winamp for Pocket PC. I use GSPlayer v.1,95 written by Green Software which is good.
OK, are you streaming AM to the PocketPC or is this MP3s that you have stored on it? Just curious, mind...
