5 more or less is 2; it's the same great core, now with a new crunchy exterior.

just installed the newest RC8 version. This is nice! I went with Itunes because i liked the playlist/library feature. Now Winamp has it! Back to winamp for me

Uh, what was wrong with Winamp 3? I've never had a problem with it and I've been running it since it was released. I guess I'll upgrade.

I've found 5 to be great. I've been using it since the alpha version and it rocks. Just like 2 but with lots of new stuff and none of the hog that was 3.

Why isn't Winamp5 linked in the offical Winamp website? I'm a little skepitical of downloading from third party websites without any indication or announcement from Nullsoft.

Its still beta. But it is released by nullsoft for bug testing i suppose.
