Lucky for us, the Internet is a big place and Winamp cannot simply disappear in the age of download mirrors and file sharing. Over four major incarnations, Winamp has evolved from a simple audio player to include video and a media library. You can sync your iPod or other portable music player and have your music collection in one place. The standard interface is called 'Bento' and has expanded the classic Winamp window to incorporate track details and art (it retrieves album art automatically). The bottom part contains the Media Library, Video, Visualization and Browser tabs. The browser was mainly used to run web searches on, but since that domain is no longer up, it is no longer that useful. You can still use it to browse anywhere but it's not really a comfortable method of accessing the web.

The Video and Visualization tabs do exactly what they imply. You can use Winamp to watch video files but don't expect it to be as feature laden as any other video player. Visualizations on the other hand can be quite catchy and with the right music and substances, they can really provide hours of quality entertainment. The Media Library can access the local library (media files that you have added) in a variety of ways. You have lists of Artists and Albums and you can limit the view on music, videos or the entire library.

Here you can access your disk drives and can also interface with any portable media player. This is done via cable or wireless (which is a bit problematic since there is no support for the mobile app anymore). From the media library you can add files to the playlist but you can also generate new playlists and save them.
