I didn't notice at first, but in the evening it was loaded up to 1,86GB RAM for Winamp + Simplifiy Media alone - you can guess how much swapping was going on. so i can say, it definitely _is_ a resource hog, because of some bad programming probably. I don't have _that_ many mp3s that I would expect the program/plugin to fail on dealing with my collection. well, i have Windows XP, 1GB RAM, Winamp with Simplify Media, and as soon as I start Winamp, it keeps adding 4MB of ram per minute to usage.

Right now I'm actually listening to my remote files and it's using about 28,000k. (I think this changes when you're not actually connected to a remote library.) Not small, but considerably less than iTunes or even Outlook. I have 3 gigs of RAM in this machine so it doesn't cause any problems. I have 2gigs on my Mac at home and don't experience any resource issues. I get around the playlist thing by changing my view settings, so I can view whatever's been recently added, Recently Added is really about the only playlist I need that isn't entirely dependent on the genre tag anyhow.

My poor 3rd Gen iPod is on it's last legs with about 20 minutes of battery life left. I only use it at work nowadays anyway, if I could get my playlists from my home setup I'd be set. It's not a bandwidth/resource hog? I’ll definately be checking this out once they include playlist support. My poor 3rd Gen iPod is on it’s last legs with about 20 minutes of battery life left.
