It does suck that WinAmp is under AOL, I do agree there, but it also sucks that AOL even exists period! It is by far the worse program, no matter how many versions they make of it. Plain and simple, it sucks. The ONLY reason I have EVER used AOL is when I go home and my family doesn't have internet connections of their own or broadband, I will sign up for a "free trial" of AOL for like....what is it now.....80 cajillion free hours?? Whatever the case, that's the only time I use it, when there is NOTHING else to use......it's my last resort...I would rather plug an RJ-45 cable in my azz and make phone calls through my penis then use AOL. :-)
