I just downloaded it, kinda indifferent about it. But the the stuff you can skin it with are nice. By the way anyone using winamp 3 know how to change id3 tags on the songs? Or is it a bug that wont let you change theM

Some cool new additions but the fact that the equalizer does not work is disappointing. Brennan should focus a little more on his radio stream, IMO. ;)

2.78 has all that I need.

I have not tried it yet. I do have a question about it though. Does it still pause between songs on a CD?

I've never tried it.

I'm still using an WinAMP 2.5e, first released 10/03/1999!!!:Q:D:Q
I'm pretty sure the version I'm using was released before the AOL takeover.

Winamp 3 sucks, still. It's laggier, buggier, and is not worth using for "coolness factor". There are no problems with Winamp 2.x that I know of, I can play all my media files with Winamp, and it loads instantly, and plays files instantly. What need would anyone have for using a laggier and buggier "new" beta version? None. Stick with 2.7 or whatever you use.

You know, the same could be said about WinXP vs. Win2k :p

I tried it out and once its officially released it will kick some serious ass, but the current beta is not good for general use (and they warn you about that on their site, saying its just for plugin and skin developers).
