It just "feels" cooler than winamp and the visual plugins are AWESOME! Cant get the fullscreen to look good though. Try a download! Definately worth it. Heres a screenshot. <A HREF="

WW is right, the sonique visuals are way cool, but after a week, you'll be back with winamp.

they do, dont they?
its an option u can download. The basic player is like 600k or whatever, and the one with WMA support is almost 2 megs.
i think...

Yep I tried it for a week and went back to Winamp. Too big and bulky. Kinda like MediaPlayer 7.

I also tried Sonique, liked it for a while, then switched back to Winamp. Sonique consumed too much desktop space. Perhaps a little too flashy for my taste.

Too much desktop space??? It has 3 different sizes....one of them being a little bar.
I've been using Sonique for about a year and see no reason to use Winamp at all.

Winamp does use less resources but those visuals in Sonique are worth it.

Sonique is ok, but I HATE free-form skinning.

1.5x size, 1x is too small 2x is too big

But what about Music Match? I've tried em all and stuck with MM. Of course it's been a while since I used Winamp.
Which of the 3 is the biggest resource hog?*oink oink*

Bubonique is definately the biggest resource hog. It's supposed to sound a little better, but I can't tell the difference. The playlist is awful.
I love MusicMatch as well, but usually I don't need all of the features it has.
imo, winamp still ownz j00...especially combined with Kelly's Topaz skin...

I don't believe any of them are using enough resources to matter at all if you have a decent system.
IMHO Winamp is blocky looking. Sonique by all accounts sounds better, looks better to me, and has a real nice WAV out.
