Winamp 5!
-
I've heard good things about Winamp, but I don't do a lot of music listening using the computer. When I do, I typically just fire up Windows Media. I also use WM to rip my CDs for my home stereo Audiotron. Other than Groovy Graphics and the fact that it's Not Microsoft, what does Winamp bring to the party that makes it worth installing to replace functionality that's already on my machine? Yes, I realize this is heresy, but I was raised by wolves...

Nice one! I've been using WMP/Foobar since WA3 came out. Initial impression is good. Its finally gotten rid of that ridiculous default skin (now called the 'classic' look); and upgraded the media library to include 'favourites' and 'playcount' tracking as in WMP. Now if I can get the illusive cddb lookup to work over my work's network proxy, I don't think I will need any other player on my desktop!

Something that was missing in WinAmp 3.x was the ability to convert MIDI to WAV files - does WinAmp 5.x have that ability? Steve

When I can talk about 64 bit processors and attract girls with my computer not my car, I'll come out of the closet. Until that time...I'm like "What's the ENTER key?" -Hockey on being a geek

I much prefer WMP 9. I use WinAmp ONLY for non wmv/wma streaming content. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

There wasn't one. WA5 is WA2 with some of the better stuff from WA3 backported. 2 + 3 = 5, geddit?

I have a feeling people all around the world are all asking the same question about version4, and Nullsoft, and people like you and i, are going to be explaing "2 + 3 = 5" ad infinitum. :sigh: The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

Although the Winamp3 movement has been put on the back burner, it's by no means dead. Elements of Winamp3 and Wasabi will be combined with the faster, slimmer Winamp 2 for the next version of Winamp, called Winamp 5 (versions 2 plus 3), due out in late 2003. Wasabi code also is still being toyed with inside the halls of Nullsoft's San Francisco loft and will be found inside certain applications in Winamp 5, such as its skinning engine and its media library.

It's still a bit of a beast on memory usage though. Around 20Mb compared with 5Mb for Winamp 2 :( Even Media Player 9 comes in at less with 13Mb.
