I find it much more difficul to use and more bloated than Winamp 2. Am I the only one who uninstalled it in favor of 2?

I tried 3 for a little bit, but then ran right back to 2. mostly for the fact that winamp 3 will not run in statbar.

Winamp 3 takes so friggin long to load up. Too bloated. Even the video viewing mode sucks. I am sticking with ver 2.x

I need winamp to play mp3s. Winamp2 does that and thus I have no intentions of ever using winamp3. Winamp has gone through so many iterations, each one more bloated than the last, that at some point you have to say "NO".

A O L

What's funny is i was pointing out to someone the other day that RealAudio 3 was .8MB. -----> new and improved AOL version Real Audio 8.0 is 6MB.

What a surprise.

I agree. It takes too long to load, I don't like the control system, and the video playback crashed almost as often as it worked. I'm staying with 2.x as well.

WRONG!

i like it

this is what happens when you smoke pot.

What's wrong with Winamp3?? I only use it for music and do not use it for any other purpose. I would have gone back to Winamp2.81 but my mp3s won't play without pops and clicks.

I like a few of the features of 3, but overall 2 is just faster and simpler. I've been using WMP9 lately. I figure, if I'm going to go with bloatware, why not go all the way? :p Actually, I do like some of WMP9's new features, especially the way it integrates right into XP's taskbar when minimized.
