bowser17, you can change that in the options :)
coolplayer is OK, but the first thing i notice is you cannot set the volume relative to everything else... its volume control sets the system vol. BAD.
Buggy. Wanted to use a fully open source portable audio player but gave up on CoolPlayer when it refused to change skins (for the playlist window) and the main window sometimes wouldn't appear.
This is a great little MP3 player that I keep on my old Win98 machine.
Sound quality is great and with the in_CDReader.dll plugin, it uses about 10% less CPU power to play CDs than Winamp 5.3x.
I have to disagree with Jack Ass. For one, it's not anywhere *near* 10megs, it's under a meg *with* MP3/OGG/CD support. Also, 1by1 player requires plugins! Plugins from Winamp 2x. 1by1 is a great little player, especially if you hate playlists and tags, but for a more "traditional winamp feel", you can't go wrong with Coolplayer.
It looks nice enough but at +- 10Mb for what this app does, I would much rather use 1x1 player or XMPlayer which are both smaller and have more features without adding plugins.
Tried CoolPlayer, but go back to XMPlayer as CoolPlayer does not support Unicode.
