good to see they are still working on this...Winamp 3 is such a bloated pig...v2.x is so much nicer....

Winamp 2.9 beta 2 (small fixes since 2.9 beta, but useful nonetheless)
( this list should go away with 2.90, maybe, since it's all bugfixes since 2.9 beta)
* fixed ml_ plugin support * changed video popup menu to remove Ctrl+ on 1 2 ` stuff * fixed multi monitor support for video * fixed some ml vfs bugs, made writeout nearly atomic, optimized.
* fixed ml import current playlist bug (needed a savequerytree())
* made in_nmp3 not use builtin EQ if used in DLL mode * fixed end of file skipping bug on CD tracks * made CD digital extraction off by default * made video window sizes to remain when switching video modes
* fixed some video OSD stuff * added mms:// and mmst:// and mmsu:// url style support to in_dshow
* added nsv prefs, streaming buffer size * in_nsv includes nsvtag as well as media library setting ability.
* made winampmenu in embedwnd initialize submenus =) * fixed crash in internet radio/tv on dblclick when refreshing
* updated in_vorbis to v1.31 * made in_vorbis support extended metadata setting/getting * updated in_mod to v2.2.10 beta 29
Winamp 2.9 beta: * added integrated full featured video support (NSV and DirectShow (AVI,ASf,MPEG,etc))
* added library (complete with media database, shoutcast listing, playlist editing,
CD listing, mass tag editting, plugin API for portable devices, and more!)
* updated Winamp's window docking code to be more robust/extensible
- made AVS dock use this new API * updated PCM equalizer with code from 4Front Technologies/George Yohng. Quality is a lot better.
* updated equalizer default skin to show the true +12db/-12db range (the 20db was a veeery old typo)
* a ton of new WM_WA_IPC API calls. - general purpose plugin window support - extended metadata system for getting more than just title/length of items.
- lots of exposed features via IPC * updated to PP's latest input and output plugins * focus/Z order change on window close related bugfixes * added track numbers and song lengths in HTML generated playlists

Yep, Winamp 2.81 for me is the benchmark for media players. Small, sensible, stable, easy on the eyes. XMMS on Linux is nice too - mainly because it's a straight up Winamp clone.
Seeing Winamp 3 for the first time reminded me of seeing Netscape 4 for the first time, and just feeling very very sorry for Netscape.

you didn't answer my question Refund. will the full vers. of winamp 2.9 support winamp3 skins (maybe altered a bit to make it compatible with winamp2)? that would so make my day :P

this is from the deviantart link I posted in the other thread
........................................................... .
Deviant: ~lifefucu (#27) Date: 2003-03-22 16:33:58 For those new to the winamp camp heres the deal.
As anyone who has used WA3 is aware, WA3 is a resource hog laden piece of shit that even on a high end machine has very high latency issues (response time). Its been about a year since its release and.. well it hasnt been updated yet, the developer builds are up to only 497 (a dev build is like a mini beta). In any event, justin, the leader of the Nullsoft team, called the shot a couple weeks back to can WA3, basically they are abandoning the project. In light of this, initially *everyone* freaked out, but the solution they are offering is interesting. They promise to bring the skinning engine and nice features of wa3 (playlist sidecar etc) to the winamp 2 core hence wa3+wa2+wa5. So basically all development resources are going to bringing the WA2 core up to speed (ml etc) for a port of the skinning engine. If it works out it will be winamp 3 only a *lot* faster.. if not, nullsoft is screwed.. from the looks of this little sneak peak it appears there is hope
........................................................... ...
so it looks to me like it won't support WA3 skins,
