Nah, you just suck at teh intarweb. I got it no problem.

I haven't used a Winamp since I got XP. I've been using WMP and I'm not convinced that Winamp is an improvement. For a start it sounds too bassy and not quite as clear as WMP.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to use a single program for everything. That's what makes iTunes so great. But appearantly the geeks of anandtech want to have more control and that's fine.

Everyone post the skins you are using!

 

[Anubis]

does it support multipial platlists??? cause if it doesnt im sticking to WA3

 

[brigden]

I have to admit, it is a nice looking program, but the media library still sucks.

Does it still come with spyware?

:Q Really great software... except it uses 87% of my CPU resources constantly

man the Athlon 550 is showing its age

 

I like it...but it's going to be tough to get away from QCD's autotag feature.

Hopefully this will replace iTunes as my music player now. Will wait for finals to be over before trying it out though. What am I doing on here now if I need to study?

 

[Sid59]

maybe ill test it out. thanks for the heads up.

 

[Anubis]

how do i turn the damn crossfader off?

It never came with spyware.

 

[Tetsuo]

How come it's not on their website yet?

 

[VicodiN]

Because its not an 'official' release... Just an RC.

What? surely it's not another RC, it says final on it, not RC9 or whatever.

haha, this is what i use as the format for displaying my tags..it needs a little tweaking yet but its getting there...

[%artist% - ]$if2(%album% -[ $num(%tracknumber%,2) -] %title%,$filepart(%filename%))

 

[aceO07]

Is there a way to disable Winamp's usage of the "Now Playing" panel of the Media Library? I don't like how it accesses the internet to grab information about the songs I'm playing. I like my privacy.

 

[Lonyo]

Can you use Winamp 2 skins? I like one skin and don't want to stop using it, so I'll only do 5 if I can stick with my 2.81 skin. Or is it just 3 skins that can be used?

man you should overclock, my 550mhz athlon was constantly at at least 750mhz, usualy 800mhz though, could do 850mhz


btw, best winamp version ever
