Has anyone checked it out yet?

I just downloaded it, and it is MUCH improved over Winamp 3. It has like, a built in listen-to thing, and a shitload of new features. The interface is much better looking, and yeah, it just kicks ass for the most part.

It combines the best of Winamp 2 and 3.

2 + 3 = 5

Stupid really. :(

It's the media editor or something. It just tells you what you listen to most and crap.

No joke.....0%.....it is quite liked for that fact on the winamp forums. I've had it for a month or two....and it's great to run in the background.

Yeah how does it compare to 2.91? Cause i am just happy with the version i am using right now which is 2.91. Tis really worth updating cause i don't really need/use all those fancy features and whatnot.

It's just like that if you want it to be. It basically has left the options for you to leave it like it was in 2, but at the same time it runs better and allows you to use the look and feel of Winamp 3 with the usefullness of Winamp 2. I doubt you would see any significant change in it if you left the current skin you have on it. I like it because I now use it to pretty much do everything involving music. I rip my cds to my computer with the exact mp3 names I want and it puts them straight into the library. Plus it has Internet TV stations....something I'm not sure was there in Winamp 2.

Yeah, with a Winamp 2 skin on it's pretty tough to see any difference, aside from taking up slightly more memory than it used to.

It was using up like 17% of my resources, making my comp go pretty slow and shit.

So I'm back to musicmatch.

Yeah, when I used musicmatch for a while it was pretty slow, so I switched back to winamp.

It's working pretty well for me. I like the new look. I couldn't get my old Winamp to play WMA files... and this one's doing it as well so that's cool.

The media library thing is the coolest part. You play a song and all of this info about the band comes up and crap.
