Winamp5 can be installed with less than 10MB if necessary.

It has a seek bar, that's so bloated I don't even know where to begin! Make it nothing but a File menu with nothing but Open and Play on it and it might not be bloated. But only if it's text-mode written in assembly.

Seriously, that looks like nothing more than a wrapper combining some half-baked codeproject sample code with a GUI that took no effort. I don't know why you expect anyone here to laud your efforts to create the laziest media player ever, since there are a few posted on student web sites and sourceforge every year. Go look at foobar 0.1, maybe you'll finally find a player unbloated enough for you. And your nonstop trolling is either obsessing over software that would be usable on a Pentium with 4 M memory and a 100 meg hard drive, or you think you can fool people by calling any competition "bloated" or "junk". I'm inclined to close the thread.

My FOOBAR2K folder contains 11,520,390 bytes.
During my pre-XP-SP3 days, my Winamp 5.35 directory contained over 35MB (default install).

You know you can use minimal install and just select what you want, right?

You can even use winamp with only 4 files if you so desire:
winamp.exe
nscrt.dll
plugins/in_mp3.dll
plugins/out_ds.dll

It'll create a winamp.ini, so actually 5. It's a fully functional player that's a heck of a lot more useful than this junk, at under 2 mb. The best part about modularity is that you can define where bloat begins, and for me I can't live without a media library and certain dsp plugins, but I don't care about skins and only use them when I'm feeling bored. Foobar is equal in that regard, if you give them feature parity they're close to size parity.

Talking about Winamp 2.x ?

winamp 5.xx

"Marketing is the art of lying". :devil: 2 channels @ 16-bit @ 48kHz maximum is not "HD" in my books. :)

Your words make me think of mpg123 —
— 100% command-line. :)

Your memory is failing. :)
4MB of RAM + 100MB HDD == 80386. :)

winamp.exe
nscrt.dll

:thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

For the curious,
below is the directory listing of my "FB2K\components":

dolbyhph.dll
foo_ac3.dll
foo_albumlist.dll
foo_cdda.dll
foo_channel_mixer.dll
foo_converter.dll
foo_dsp_dolbyhp.dll
foo_dsp_pl2.dll
foo_dsp_resampler.dll
foo_dsp_silence.dll
foo_dsp_ssrcX.dll
foo_dsp_std.dll
foo_dsp_vlevel.dll
foo_fileops.dll
foo_input_alac.dll
foo_input_ds.dll
foo_input_dts.dll
foo_input_dvda.dll
foo_input_monkey.dll
foo_input_std.dll
foo_input_tta.dll
foo_midi.dll
foo_out_ks.dll
foo_rgscan.dll
foo_ui_std.dll
foo_unpack.dll
foo_unpack_7z.dll

the filenames being self-explanatory
( or at least I think so ).

Cheers.

mp3hd is mp3+dtsHD's lossless differencing. No 5.1 though, that's all done through matrix-separation on playback. It's lossless and compatible with normal mp3 players, but very inefficient at it. It's basically a new mp3pro format that's getting a lot of buzz in the industry and very little traction. FLAC is so well supported already, and mp3 re-encoding so fast, I don't really see the point of it, unless someone puts it on the Bluray spec.
