Winamp on mobile - My good old childhood friend

I remember, when i first bought my own computer in 1999, the first thing i wanted to do is listen to music and through friends i found a music player called WinAmp. I found it great with all the plugins and skins.

And now i have stopped listening music on my computer. And now i listen music on my Android phone. Hate the default android music player. While searching for music player on Android market, i found my good old friend WinAmp.

I found some of the things amazing, like changing songs from locked screen. The wifi sync is simply the best, and it works well with the windows desktop client which is still the sleekest and most reliable music app on Windows in my opinion. The android app is sleek, simple and reliable. It almost never force closes, and blows the floor off the stock music app. I am very surprised by the consistency of WinAmp to survive in the market of big players, i am surprised no-one has bought WinAmp and destroyed the name.

 

Android market to Google Play... what the ---k?

I have a very good friend and i call him money waster, he knows exactly how to waste money and i get surprised, that he can manage to waste money on most silly things. Today i would say google is same, google knows exactly how to destroy brand. Android cool name cool product and suddenly you have this name change, yes android market is now Google Play, a boring name and most of all you are changing a running, successful product product.

 Google did something similar to google wave, orkut and many other products. It seems like google has very good technical brain power but there is no one who can market google products in a way that makes google a cooler company and other companies like google and i would say even microsoft are taking over google by the min. Even the logo of google play looks like a cheap design. This morning when i checked my market i received a message saying "do you agree to Google play terms and conidtions" and i thought what the ---k? Is that a virus? btw we should know Android is full of viruses now, so be careful.
