Both free. Winamp is harder to change stations with.
Winamp can change stereo balance and boost or
attenuate different parts of the audio spectrum.

RealPlayer is easier to change stations but cant
do those other things.

Usually it doesnt matter except for music.
The Otto Baroque Musique stream but
with HORRIBLE ads often plays pieces
featuring baroque trumpet. Boosting the
treble and balancing the stereo speakers,
old but good JBS speakers, while the
trumpets blare is ear candy.

Gerry, Fontaine and others are doing the
same with air radio, through satelite reception
which is a pre-Internet protocol. I found
a better barber shop on South
Congress and they had a country music
stream with air radio: just the music,
a well chosen playlist. Have a haircut
and try to nail who's singing. Hank
Snow is easy, Charlie Pride a little
harder to identify.
