IMO, every media player since Winamp 2.x has been largely a step _backwards_ in pretty much every metric one could put forth. It was light-weight, using minimal CPU & RAM. It was skinable. It was reliable. It had great plugin support. I don't recall it leaking memory, either. I basically had it set to auto run on login on my PC. I never closed it. Didn't need to. I had _only_ 32MB of RAM on that computer.
