    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

                              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.
