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 remember when they released WinAmp 3, and everyone was like......YAAAA fuck that, winamp 2.xx will play mp3s just fine, and I ain't changin |

i love my winamp 2.91 |
||||||||
| Attached picture | |||||||||

|
|
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? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll just stick with 2.8 for now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mappatazee... u can downlaod 2.91 here: http://classic.winamp.com/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2 + 3 = 5 daft :) Got it now anyway... Jand, what are some of the new features? Looks the same so far... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but is it better? Does everyone suggest it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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...;)... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
but if your flat was already clean, that person prolly just rearanged all your shit where you can't find it now :0 |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
is this stuff with 2+3=5 is not a joke ? how can it be ? number 2 , 3 then suddemly 5 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you turn crossfading off with winamp 5? I can't seem to do it. Anybody else notice this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUCK it's pissing me off, I don't mind it between songs, but if I'm skipping ahead in a song by clicking on the progress bar it don't like it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not getting any crossfade at all mate. I can't find it in the options either. I've looked hard, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's really slight-- but it's not a sharp cut off like winamp 3 was |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

All I know is that I'm playing the them from Monkey :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
monkey magic!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Subtle differences, pretty much not what I used to adjust anyway :) Winamp 3 for me when I've got nothing else running, I'll stick with this ferra bit otherwise tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is definiftely less processor intensice. Loads nearly instantly. I had to wait a good bit for WinAmp 3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I FUCKING LOVE IT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll wait till its official |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use winamp 2 aswell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't see the point when winamp 2.8 is perfect already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... something like that. I only use it to play moosic/video. With only basic plugins like pitchfork... It works just fine the way it is. :) It rarely crashes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does pitchfork do? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
developer: AOL?!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, they didn't fucking fix the fack that whenever i select a batch of liles it enqueues the first on last, and vise versa. it was fixed in winamp3 *hmph!* : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm i never knew winamp 4 was released... anyway, i HATED 3, so im still running v2. eh *checks* oh yeah 2.80.. with some nucleo skin thingey |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The skins for 2.xx sucked. The only good thing about them was that you got a total playtime for the whole playlist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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!! |

I tried it. It's neat. I'm sticking with 2.xx. It's better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll stick with 2 |

awww media playerrs... good times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hummmm i'm gonna stick with the classic win amp .....everytime i upgrade i realize after a while that the old program was better....sometimes the new one WRECKS the old program and i have to uninstall BOTH......=/ anyway i'm NOT changing.....=0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't give a fuck about how it looks or new skins or anything, as long as it plays music efficiently thats fine with me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've installed winamp5.. you can make it look like the old winamp.. the only reason i installed it is because i had graphics problems with the old winamps.. |
