Hi does Winamp work well with Windows 8? I ask because I was about to install a newly downloaded copy on my new machine when I noticed an option to "add a start menue entry." Since Windows 8 doesn't have a start menu per say, I thought it might be a good idea to ask my fellow geeks before installing.
Thanks.

Oops, nevermind. I did a little research and discovered that not only does it work on Win 8, but there's also a light version that doesn't have all the extra crap I don't use. Woohoo! It's now installed and working perfectly.
I'd remove this post if I could but... lol

Remember, anything that worked with Windows 7 works with Windows 8. The start is the home screen, or just put it on your desktop.
Now, sometimes the app versions are not accessible as the desktop versions, but that is about it.

Cool, thanks.
