Advantages: It's free. ..It plays music.

Disadvantages: It often freezes, has a clunky interface, can't minimize it to hide it.

WinAmp is a free music player for the windows operating system, and although I liked the program, I found a few hitches in it, that interrupted my use of the program.
First, the playback of the music is smooth, and without jerks or gltiches, generally. Generally. That is, if you open a resource intensive application, expect the music to freeze and stop.
The interface is alright, but not one of my favourites. To me, it seems large, and full of unneeded windows and buttons, that could be hidden away in a menu, not left on display.
The thing that made me dislike the interface the most however, is the fact you can't minimize the program into the icon bar. The closest you can get is making the window close into a small bar.

On the other hand, the program's free, and has quite a number of skins, and if you want a constant display of the music playing, then this is for you. If you like the player tucked away into a corner, I wouldn't advise it.

Summary: I personally didn't like the program, but many people do.
