\"Winamp<\/p>\n

At over 20 years old, the Winamp\u00a0media player is a bit of a Windows institution. Famous for its scrolling text display, audio file versatility, retro visuals, customizable skins, and just being better than Windows Media Player; Winamp still has a lot to offer users even today. One of the reasons Winamp has been able to keep going through the decades is because of plugins. Winamp plugins allow you to add new features to your standard Winamp console.<\/p>\n

Close to Notification Area<\/a><\/h3>\n

This plugin will close Winamp Audio Player to your Windows notification tray when you hit the close button. Normally, hitting close will shut down Winamp altogether so this plugin gives you an extra way of minimizing Winamp and even hiding it from the taskbar while still active.<\/p>\n

Winamp Remote Control Gadget<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Winamp<\/p>\n

This Winamp plugin is similar to the one above. The difference is that it also offers the scrolling text bar that Winamp is famous for. This means you\u2019ll be able to see the name of the song and artist whenever you\u2019re using it.<\/p>\n

Vocal Remover Plugin<\/a><\/h3>\n

Go on, you know you want to. This plugin removes vocals from songs so that you and you alone can take center stage. Remove the vocals from your favorite songs and turn into the karaoke star you always knew you could be, at least while you\u2019re at home anyway. This plugin isn\u2019t flawless, however, and often you might still hear the vocals in the background, just very low, or other instruments might be taken out too.<\/p>\n
