It's been quite a long time since I've used Winamp, I mainly use iTunes now.

Is it (v5.x) better or worse than Winamp 3? (yes, it has been that long :oops:)

I installed the latest version just a few days ago. Prior to that I hadn't been using it in a fair while cos I tend to use Creative's "Media Source Organizer" in windows and I use Amarok in linux. To answer battye's question - the answer, as far as I can tell, is that it hasn't changed much. It has a different default skin and uhh... that's probably all.

That's a shame. I thought the difference between Winamp 2 and 3 was amazing, infact, I wish they had continued work on the 3.x line. But if IIRC, AOL bought out Winamp and the creator (Justin something-or-other) quit, so I suppose it was the beginning of the end right there.

I'll still use it until AOL starts messing it up , it's better then using WMP. :P
When I 1st started using Winamp I only got it cos you need it to use WinMX amp plugins.I've been using it ever since then.
