4. Software MP3 Players

Most of you should be familiar with the software that actually plays MP3 files. Nowadays many software MP3 players are available for free download; even Microsoft's Media Player now supports MP3s. I've taken a screenshot of one of the most popular software players, Winamp, so that you can get an idea of what they look like.

The player is capable of playing wav files, CD's, and MP3's. Don't let the basic controls fool you however. Winamp has many built in features that allow for plug-ins that allow for special visuals, GUI modifications and even file conversation capabilities! It's definitely worth looking into.
