they adopted the fibonacci numbering system. 2+3=5...

basically it's running on 2.0's engine with all the pretty updates of 3. plus it has things like global hotkeys. it's REALY nice. i've been using the beta and it's been rock solid. never had it crash or do anything wrong.

look_ma · 12-17-2003, 07:25 PM

I am still on 2.78, Never did like 3.

ray · 12-17-2003, 07:26 PM

I never liked 3 either. I'm content with my winamp 2 for now.

you are who winamp5 is for. trust me. try winamp5 and you will be impressed.

here is the change log for those who are curious:

Code:

Winamp 5.0:
* Support for classic Winamp 1.x/2.x/2.9x skins and Winamp 3 ("Modern") skins
* Fancy new modern skin:
   - Integrated video, AVS, and Milkdrop support
   - Many built-in colorthemes
* Same ol' classic skin for people who want the Winamp 2 feel
* Vastly more powerful media library:
   - Automatic background directory scanning options
   - Customizable views and columns, graphical view editor
   - Internet Radio (SHOUTcast) and TV listings 
   - Context-sensitive item info viewer
* CD ripping support (AAC@2x in free version, MP3 at unlimited speeds in pro)
* CD burning support (limited to 2x in free version)
* Advanced title formatting logic for file types that support it
* Huge AVS updates:
   - New effects, bundled some popular 3rd party APEs
   - A much better selection of default presets
   - Experimental SMP support
   - Full AVS preset subdirectory support
   - Extensions and optimizations to the AVS evaluation library
* Support for playback of AAC and VP6 in NSV files/streams
* Global hotkey support
* new Signal Processing Studio DSP plug-in
* Options to disable plugin exception handling for developers
* A ton of new plug-in API calls (SDK forthcoming)
* fixed changing-systray options while minimized bug
* new Winamp icon
* added XP Manifest.xml to winamp.exe
* made agent icon use configured winamp system tray icon
* optimized winamp's load titles on demand logic, made faster
* made winamp's internal submenu management more reliable
* added skin font override preferences
* added spacebar shows current playlist item in playlist editor
* fixed manual playlist advance w/ repeat
* made winamp's open directory recurse checkbox nicer looking
* big prefs overhaul to make steve happy

  for their help

their media library has also been revamped and is quite nice. it is organised kinda like iTunes. there is also internet radio (shoutcast) and internet TV.

bah! seems more complex to me. i like my programs very very simple. that's why i disliked winamp3. just seemed like it did too much, kinda like windows media player 9

Grumpy · 12-17-2003, 08:55 PM

just downloaded winamp 5...so far i think its okay, not as good as winamp 2.91 though.

look_ma · 12-17-2003, 10:07 PM

All i ask of my MP3 player is to play, not look pretty or make pretty graphics with my music. Winamp 2 covers this.

bachviet · 12-17-2003, 10:19 PM

I still use WinAmp 2.xx.

Aristo · 12-18-2003, 04:24 AM

I upgraded from 2.95 to 5. Winamp 5 is so much better than Winamp 3.

DaFunkyUnit · 12-18-2003, 09:25 AM

i tried out the Video Library and the first 6 or 7 streams were all p0rn.

i just find that funny

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 12-18-2003, 10:17 AM

I STILL USE WIN AMP 2.XX BECAUSE THATS THE COOL THING TO DO AND HATING NEW VERSIONS OF PROGRAMS MAKES ME SOOO 1337.

I'll try it just because when I stream audio, every now and then it freezes up and no audio comes out of any program I use until I reboot.

I tried one of the radio stations, and it wasn't that bad...

i'm still undecided. although I kinda like the modern skin that it came with..

mcs328 · 12-19-2003, 09:37 AM

Doesn't play videos when I downloaded it. Kinda slow starting up when I tried to play streaming radio broadcast. I don't see any real improvements. My two cents.

DaFunkyUnit · 12-21-2003, 11:46 AM

in Winamp 2.x, if you close the program while its minimized to the task bar, the next time open it, it will open it in the task bar.

however,
now if you close the program while it is minimized, the next time you open Winamp, the main window will not open but all the other windows (Playlist, EQ, Library) will.

kinda annoying. also thought i broke my Winamp.

DankNstickY · 12-23-2003, 02:55 PM

i kinda like it. altho i didnt use 3 much, i miss the crossfade mode 3 had. would have liked 5 to have it.
