Winamp 5 (3 Viewers)

[Martin]

It's just out and it has a lot of new stuff, have a look:
http://winamp.com/player/



Among the new stuff is a media library to organize your tracks (long awaited IMO), a radio & tv index of streams, new skins, cd ripping support and burn-your-compilation features, though the last two only in the pro version.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Man, I got this weeks ago... Your getting slow compu-man.

 

[Martin]

Hehe, I just saw the headline on Itavisen today

 

[Layce Erayce]

what formats does it support?

i need something that can play ram or rm files and i hate realplayer

 

[Martin]

They advertise that it plays everything, perhaps even rm.

naah im still with my loyal winamp 2!!

I know winamp has been improving in terms of features, but ever since winamp 3 came out, i've stuck with version 2.81.

2.81 is the best version IMO. I only need the basic operations and it's the fasted running winamp. i've never had any problems with it. WA3 seems very slow compared to winamp 2, specially when adding to the playlist.

i'll have to check out 5...it sounds kewl, but if it isn't as solid as WA2.81, then screw the features

Winamp 3 was a complete failure. It was bloated and it crashed all the time. Winamp5 is like v2 on speed, works mostly the same but it has some new stuff, sadly it's a little slower.

Agree in everything..

and yeah martin... the winamp 3 was a crap maximus!!

I remember that i donwloaded it and i erased it in minutes!!!


Winamp 2.81 da best!!

 

[venom]

i just installed the thing and feel somewhat undecided. this is definately better than 3.xx but i feel like it's been filled with features. in some ways it's cool but some feats need development.
but i'm not yet feeling like i have to change back to 2.91, time will tell..

 

[Wings]

I still have my trusted 2.91 but I check WA5 soon.

 

[venom]

damn, i just noticed WA5 don't know how to read musepack-tags. it shows only song title but not artist. any tips anyone?

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

i was a dedicated winamp2 user for the longest time. i got winamp3, but was soo dissapointed. i gave 5 a shot, and badabing badabam badaBOOM it was just what i was looking for. the same simple intereface as 2 (still can use same skins) yet the powerful audio capabilites of the latest media player! its great!

whatever happened to 4? never saw it up for download...

about the speed problems, thats no problemo for me, just built myself a new computer

 

[venom]

They jumped over 4.xx. You know 2 + 3 = 5

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

whatever dude, they saw the failure of 3, and 4 was probably based on 3, so they probably scrapped that project. next number after four is five

 

[venom]

they saw the failure of 3, and 4 was probably based on 3, so they probably scrapped that project.

That's what I believe too.

 

[Layce Erayce]

im smarter than all of you. im waiting for WA12

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

no your wrong, the next one is: 3 + 2 + 5 = 10

 

[Layce Erayce]

yeah but 5 * 3 - 2 - 1 + 0 = 12

you guys better get itunes...

i don't know the latest winamp, but i've had my experiences with previous versions and i can tell u that itunes is simply better to manage one's library...
you can also rip cds - (mp3 and AAC) - create playlists that are all displayed at the left of the app... you can burn cds and dvds (normal cds and mp3cds) direct from itunes... you can rate your songs... you can create intelligent playlists ("show me the 10 songs I have most listened to...) - itunes can also manage your library (once you open a file in itunes it wil be automatically be copied to the itunes music folder and will be managed) - you can share your library (including your playlists) with other people in a network.... you also have radio stations... - also if u're not interested in using the built-in itunes music store you can use it to browse through the world of music and get some impression by listening to the previews....

well that's all that comes to my mind at the moment
i think you really should give this app a try...

it can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
