Too bad the search feature is broken...it finds 100 results for everything, but cannot find a song with the exact title you searched for!
Ugggh....it uses AOL for artist lookups...it can't even find cover art! They need to make it work with google.

Hmmmm, I don't understand why. I been using it since it first released and I didn't have to request to be added on any beta program. I just search for it on the market and it was there after I found out it was released in beta form.
I use Mixzing and love it. I have 3,000 songs (about 22 gig) on my Samsung Vibrant. I am very anal about my collection all have 600 x 600 high quality artwork that I tagged myself. Plus mixzing also scrobbles to lastfm (a must for me)! Never quite got the winamp craze, it would have to have a killer feature for me to switch, but I don't see it.
+1 for Mixzing here too. Does everything (and more)I want.... Tried the Winamp beta last month coz it's what I use on my PC, but it wasn't a patch on Mixzing on my HTC Desire.
HAHA how did this make the news secrtion the APP has been out for a good time.... i installed a while back when i got the desire .... however i quickly removed it as it wasnt as good as built in player.
Major issue is you dont get access to the filesystem, it only gives you acces to whats in the libary, ok you can add thins to the libary, but its far to much ball ache.
Personally i dropped winamp over xmp due to winamps crappy sound, seriously output an mp3 @ 44khz 16bit on hardware that can do 24bit 192khz... ok theres the mad audio pluging.. but that sux as well, like someone said above winamp started to suck when they got bought out by aol/timewaner the they bought up ORB and make it winamp remote, shame if Orb development continued it would have been the best package ever ..... thanks AOL.
