I just downloaded Billy. Aside from its exetremely plain and lame name, it is a considerably neat little program, and for those of us who are KB pushers, a must have. Their website had higher numbers on billy but I got the same for winamp and lower for billy, so all the better
The Winamp using double digits in MB was when Winamp was maximized. This of course is going to require the system to draw it onto the screen and use up more memory. When minimized winamp used a little over 5mb of memory, when maximized it used anywhere from 10mb to 13mb.
Billy when minimized uses just short of 3mb. When maximized billy only used just short of 5mb and just barrely peaking over it at times.
In other words you are going to save yourself when minimized 1-2mb of memory (considerable little amount of ram) And most people arent going to have it maximized but if that is the case then you are looking at saving yourself 5-7mb of ram (very nice savings)
These are compared to winamp 5.094, and if you want a comparison to windows media player then you are even dumber than any of us could have imagined
When testing I played the same exact song (192kbps) at the exact same time between both programs.
I commend you on a great find, im going to put this to use
! (Cant seem to find a volume controller though
) I also like their converter, that will come in handy when im dealing with all of my European friends
