I'm using v. 5.03 but I'm afraid to upgrade to 5.1 now that AOL has massaged it.

I remember there was a Winamp Shoutcast video channel thingy that was all Bjork.. Out of the 20 stations that showed up in the Shoutcast video one was Bjork...

Anyways, I had that on for about a week until I started convulsing.

PS - I am entering OT

i seriously don't understand what's so bad about winamp3. AIM on the other hand, has been getting more bloated and annoying.

It was a buggy bloated pile of crap.
On one of my friends machines it associated every single file type on the PC with itself, instant windows crash and had to be reformated.

all that means is that you and your friend are fing morons

i used WA3 from version 3.0 on untill 5 came out and i never had an issue, i manually made it associate with all my files, and it workef flawlessly, modern skins made WA 11ty billion times better

wa is all ive ever used and its most likely all i ever will

I've been a loyal user of winamp since 1x and I stuck with 2x through the 3x fiasco, but 5x is actually 2x with patches and a plugin for skins, so I'm happy. Too used to it to change now.

Does Foobar do shoutcast streams? If so, I might consider switching to Foobar, just to try it out. Otherwise I'm sticking to Winamp.

I'm using 5.08d at the moment.

Just wondering why the people still using winamp2 are so dead against upgrading to winamp5?
