Sten, the company behind that simulator is named Izotope and the plugin is 
called Vinyl. I get it mixed too with their Ozone plugin..."have you tried 
Izotope from Ozone... I mean Ozone from Izotope!" :)

Anyway, no need to run stuff through WinAmp, there is VST plugin available too 
(not to mention bunch of other formats). And yes it's free.

Sampsa - thanks for correcting my mistake. I don't have my audio
software installed at work so the winamp plugin was all I could test
at the moment. 

Have you used any other tools to add dirt to your productions?

check Audiodamage Fuzz as well.
It's a free distortion plug-in

There is another rather great free distortion plugin called silverspike RubyTube. It may not sound exactly like tubes (although I think it's as good as Antares Tube for example), but with just a bit of drive, I think it's very nice.

  Thanks for the tip! 

  I recently found a vinyl simulator called Izotope which is a free
  plugin for WinAmp. Most of the settings tend to distort a little but
  the grit is certainly there. This DSP plugin can be combined with the
  disk writer plugin to route the output straight to a WAV file.
