It also allows a component-by component breakdown so you can choose which features to use - again, this saves a lot of disk space. PWBuilder also optimizes for space, with optional UPX compression. If you had tried to start any recent (non-lite) version of Winamp from a USB key in the manner that you claim, you would find that it does not 'work fine' - you will get error messages due to missing components of the CD burning stuff, unless Winamp was already installed on the PC you are using - and that's not exactly portable is it? What the portable launcher does is launch it in such a way that all the config stuff is restricted to the location it's run from - nothing is left on the host machine. It can also nuke the winamp config for the PC you run it on. Not true - depending on how it's configured (shared/per user), it can lose its config every time you move it. Secondly, all you have to do is copy the Winamp folder from your HD and stick it on a USB stick, and it works fine! It might not be a TRUE green app, but it works, all the same, without any messing around!

It defaults to the 'classic' skin you seem to hate so much, although it does also include full modern skin support. Unfortunately for you, I intend on supporting lower-specced systems too. I had forgotten why I didn't use Winamp for the first few years - gawd, I hated that ugly, eye-straining, little black box interface - still do, evidently! Anyway, I hope that isn't what your Portable Winamp interface looks like! and it was like traveling back to the Paleolithic era in a time machine.

I have been receiving WAY too many email requests for this, and as John has failed to respond, here's the link: PWBuilder can be downloaded here. adafruit contributor tim c clearly has fond memories of whipping the llama’s ass (a quote from the app’s sample file that would play the first time winamp was launched) so they turned the 55.
