What is it?
Winamp- winamp.exe

What does it do?
winamp.exe - If you're not familiar with what Winamp it is and always has been the greatest MP3 player on the planet. With the last bunch of releases this ranges from a basica media player all the way to a full media solution with ripping and burning all built into a single interface. Originally a "rebel" piece of software its now as commercialized and accepted as anything else out there. AOL actually even purchased it... Doesn't get much more commerical and/or accepted as that.
