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

bugfixes since 2.9 beta)

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

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,

wa3. that is good news
