I don't see Winamp on the list, have they approved it for Win7 yet?

Running fine here on Windows 7.

Although you could argue it is limited, who uses winamp to rip music?! Just use another free ripper to do the job. So you could argue on a technicality that its free as well!

Update from my system!

CrystalDiskInfo open source hard disk monitoring -HDD/SSD utility software which supports S.M.A.R.T. Supports 7, available as a portable (no install or as an installer). Excellent, straightforward SMART data on your Hard Disk or SSD's health.

ACiD View 6 is is a multimedia viewer for Windows. Supports a variety of textmode and bitmap graphic formats such as ANSI/ASCII, XBIN, GIF, JPEG and PNG. Additional features include a modem-speed simulator, VGA previewing and more!
Especially good to view your .nfo files and see the ASCI art as it was intended. Will even scroll your text.

MetaPad was my text editor of choice for many years - I even embedded it into all of my XP slipstream installs as Notepad.exe. I switched to EditPad Pro to make use of MDI (tabs). I still use MetaPad on occassion because the secondary font function is rather useful for my aging eyes.
