confirming that there is a general problem with winamp not closing properly; application need to be killed in task manager; tried removing plugins, having clean install with only basic components to play music but still it doesn't work right. more and more problems... disappointing!

winamp is awesome since ancient times, too bad it is very bloated and full of crap this days, you need like 2 minutes unticking all the crap from setup,
after that you need to config a litthe, disable internet, but in the end the player is great
it was epic in the 2.xx era,

Winamp is the best - if you install it properly it is not bloatware.
Use it with enhancer 0.17 plugin - it is an old plugin but once you install it, it changes all your mp3s to pure sound bliss. windows 7 needs an enhancer wrapper - google it - not big only kb.
been using winamp+enhancer and never change - dont even bother about foobar or other -you can't match the combination
