I'm considering making a skin to advertise a total revamp of my website, but I'm not sure which of the two I should make it for. WinAmp is far more flexible, but not everyone has it and there are thousands of other skins out there. Most people have WMP, and there are less alternate skins available for it, but all versions except the very latest are restrictive. But technical shebangs aside, which do you use, and which do you prefer?

I use both, but definitely prefer winamp. I only really use wmp for videos. And only the old school media player, they new one is crap.

I use WMP only, because it's good (*thumps frag*), and until recently Winamp's idea of a skin was a coloured rectangle with tiny buttons.
I haven't looked at the [new] Winamp skinning SDK, but how is it more flexible?
You can do practically anything with WMP skins, can you not?

*kicks frag* At least 3 has an almost decent interface (because it copies WMP  ) 2 is just ugly and tiny and crappy. I thought they'd moved onto Winamp 5 now? (Skipping version four because Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5 <_<) |

i use WinAmp 2.8(?) for audio/music
i use mplayer2.exe for video files.
and i don't really see a need to change that... if anything, i move on to VirtualDub for video files if mplayer fails
what i'd like to ask is, what is the poll asking for? i see the choices, but need a clearer question...
and i won't be able to choose either if the actual question was "WinAmp or WMP for all audio/video?"
