Forget all the iTunes hype (much as adore Apple and it's style, you can fetishism too far..)...
Anyways...Nullsoft just rel'd the Beta 1 of WinAmp5...
Only been using for a small while, but it rapidly turning into a LURVE thang :)...

Will be interesting to see the reaction to this....give it a try and let us know what you think...

I've always had 3, is there somewhere I can revert to version 2.xx? Is it recommended to do this? And what the hell happened to version 4?

That's what I like...it's subtle...little things, details...
Like I say, give it a whirl...it does everything old faithful 2.xx does, but just a smoother, without bloating shit out...
Here's a good analogy...it's like coming home and finding someones tidied all your shit away & done the dishes...all without asking...
hehe...I'm a one...;)...

I'll probably try it eventually, but I'll hang on to my faithful 2.89 (I think that's the versioin). It treats me well.

iTunes takes less memory on my computer than Winamp 5. iTunes takes something like 7mb and winamp takes 11mb. so i prefer iTunes over Winamp

I think you can fix this by going like this: Get into Preferences, then in the Playlist category, check the box there that says "When loading multiple files, sort by filename"

I agree in a way...2.xx has pretty much it all; especially when coupled with the Music Library idea...
From my current impressions, it's at least as good....
But you know, check it out...everyone likes different UIs / Skins etc.....

That's a pet hate of mine, media player does it as well... I was trying to work out the reason why programs do this and I really can't see why (I'm no programming genius, but I can do sort algorithms etc. so if anyone would like to explain to me how this happens I'd be grateful).

They skipped 4, JA...dunno why....
I suspect they'll do some sort of Stalinesque dissaperence, a la retouched photos etc..:).. of Ver 3 in next couple of months, just because it was SUCH an embaressment; I suspect 3 was more a AOL directed release than NULLSOFT would have liked....

WinAmp 5 starts up MUCH quicker than WA3. However when you have modern skins on it is still slower than winamp 2.xx, but I think I'll sacrifice a minor decrease in speed to have the winamp 3 eye candy. It'd be nice if they could imrpove the speed of winamp 5 just a little more. (running 666MHz machine with 384 MB RAM)

it does it because the first track you select becomes the end of the list when you hold shift and click the last track.. i've figured out how to do it properly, you just select the last track first, then hold shift and click the first track.. this will sort it properly

Badass visuals with Winamp 5.
You MUST listen to Second Bad Vibel (AE track) with the "Marco - Amanita Muscaria open mind rmx" visual.
It is perfect for that song, reminds me of the video.

winamp 2 does the job perfectly well, so the question must be asked do people really need winamp5.
If you prefer gimmicks then probably yes, however, the systems usage of winamp2 is tiny, and will run off a pentium 1 easily, and with P4, Xeon, and clock speeds getting up into the microwave freqencies, it doesnt matter as much.
All winamp needs to do is play as many filetypes as humanly(or computerly?) possible, without a drain on the host cpu, and to do it with a degree of stability so it wont bring down all apps in a ten mile radius. i use cooledit for all audio stuff, but winamp is good for playing songs and dragging random files, e.g. NEW SAMPLE 1 which ive saved from my sampler but forgotten what they are. winamp doesnt need bells and whistles if you ask me!!
