I generally abhor these third party monitoring scripts but a customer of mine raved about it and I just had to give it a try. Its not that impressive. Very web 2.0 though. Actually I use Mint: http://www.haveamint.com/ Highly recommended - stats at a quick glance which is all you really need. Although for even better at-a-glance effectiveness I am considering adding sparklines to boot. I do experiment with a few things on this blog (witness the changing themes and plugins) but hopefully it will stabilize soon. As soon as I find a decent theme which is easily customizable. Noone seems to have quite nailed it yet. Yeah sorry, I was just trying it out.

I stopped using Winamp when I realized that it didn't actually do as good a job of playing music as it should have - the audio output wasn't as high fidelity as other players. The best one I ever found was something called Apollo - but it had attrocious list management features (it couldn't even remember where it was in a playlist on restart). I use mediamonkey occasionally, and snackamp for tag editing. What I really want is a hi-fi player that is ok for list management, takes up 1 icons worth of width in my system tray and allow fast mouse access to playback from that icon. Left-click should pause/play, left double-click skip, right double-click rewind, right single-click can pop-up the menu, and all playback entries should be FIRST dammit, not in some stupiud sub-menu.
