According to this: https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/winamp-memory-usa...

Winamp 2.72 only used about 8 megs of RAM.

Eight Megs And Counting.

Wow, eight megs was once so much memory that we would laugh about applications that even approached it.

It's really crazy how quickly things have gotten bigger. I remember not too long ago my mid-high power computer had 1Gb of RAM, nowadays that would be laughably small.
