What do you mean by "sound quality" ?Winamp has never used OpenCandy, when it was owned by AOL it came with AOL optional adware.
Now it has no bundled adware.
Of coarse nothing compares to good old Winamp when it comes to sound quality and features.
Enjoy!!
You would have to compare the difference for yourself to know what I mean.What do you mean by "sound quality" ?

I can open any of my audio files with Windows Media Player or any of the above and they sound alright, but I can open them with Winamp using plugins and they sound fantastic. You have so many options to change the sound quality with the equalizer and plugins, you can not accomplish the same with any other audio player.
Most others that have similar sound quality rely on Winamp plugins like Aimp, Foobar2000 and MusicBee but still don't compare to Winamp.
All other players only have limited options to adjust sound quality or require you to buy paid features or plugins and still don't sound as good as Winamp. Winamp is an audio lovers dream.

I use Jammix Enhancer (DSP Effect), Nullsoft Direct Sound Output (Output), Lyrics Plugin (General Purpose) and Winamp Equalizer (set according to different types of music) the "Live" preset sounds good on most types of music if you have some good speakers.What plugins do I use to make sound quality better?
I really wish I could use Winmp again as it was the first audio player I liked but now it crashes every time I add my media..... It seems winamp can't handle my 50gb media folder.I use Jammix Enhancer (DSP Effect), Nullsoft Direct Sound Output (Output), Lyrics Plugin (General Purpose) and Winamp Equalizer (set according to different types of music) the "Live" preset sounds good on most types of music if you have some good speakers.
If you don't have some good speakers then you will not notice much sound quality difference.
Most computers come with cheap speakers which can not handle treble, bass, mid-range, etc.
I have 6 speakers with an excellent sound card on my computer with is much like a home entertainment system.
I no longer even have a home studio system, I gave it away because Winamp on my computer sounds much better.

How are you trying to add your media? Make sure that you add it under "Media Library"- Local Library- Watch Folders- then add the folders of your media.I really wish I could use Winmp again as it was the first audio player I liked but now it crashes every time I add my media.....

I downloaded the version 5.65 and it worked, but for the latest it don't work.How are you trying to add your media? Make sure that you add it under "Media Library"- Local Library- Watch Folders- then add the folders of your media.
Do not try to add all of your media to the "Playlists" that will cause Winamp to crash.
My media folder is 65.2GB Winamp handles it without any problems.
Enjoy!!
