I agree.

As for the Winamp debate, a few years ago, I developed a crude automation 
system for my college station using Winamp, and we actually had scheduled 
programming, hour by hour, with voice tracking.  Winamp is not a great tool 
for the job, but it worked fine for many vacations -- often good enough to 
fool me when I was listening.
