When you listen to MP3, what plugs do you use in your winamp besides MAD, waveout output and the ones came with it? I downloaded a crossfeed plugin but it hardly does anything.

Dump winamp and use CoolPlayer or UltraPlayer.

Gah. Coolplayer has a ****ing ****ty interface. And the only reason people say it's better than Winamp is because of the MAD decoding engine; with the MAD plugin for Winamp, you get great sound and Winamp's far, far better interface (2.81 of course, NOT 3.0!)

Well, that didn't answer my question still.

That's about it. What else do you want?
Crosfeed is a matter of taste... as is any other kind of post-processing you want to do (spatializing, sound shaping, valve simulators, etc...).

The output plugin & MAD are the only two "necessities" that I've heard of.

Well, I had this external EQ plugin by Naoki Shibata... don't need it much these days though

Personaly i only use cheap phones with my computer, however i have a few favorite's. The best DSP i have used nad continued to use , is a plugin called Dee Version 1.1
From this DSP you can get quite convincing room accoustics buy setting the 3D amp to zero and Reverb to Room. The bass can also be very well tailored and since i really like deep , deep bass i have it set to 60Hz. If you do get this and try it out , let me know and ill post the other usual settings i use.

BTW this plugin works much better with winamp V2.81

if your sound card supports 24/96 or 24/192
then you can try the winamp ssrc resampling plugin
yesterday I was playing around with it and it seems to make the sound more detailed and less grainy.
Its fairly resourse intensive though

cheers

You should get the ASIO winamp plugin instead
http://www.aikis.or.jp/~otachan/out_asio.html

supports SSRC code, works only if you have a ASIO capable soundcard which most 24/96 or 192 cards will have.
