ew, winamp 3

Ditto to that. . .

ewwwww, Winamp 3. . .

I heard it stated somewhere that they didn't change the decoder in winamp 3 but I swear the thing sounds awesome. I had been playing with it, QCD, Coolplayer and Sonique up until the final V3 release. Winamp 2 and 3 had been a distant last in the sound quality arena. When I D/L the final V3 and tried it I was blown away by the difference. Maybe I'm nuts, I dunno.

By the way here is a possibly the best skin I have ever seen. Excellent color shemes and winshade mode. Link

Meh, I use the MAD decoder, so that's moot to me. I spent 10 minutes with winamp3s interface, bugginess, etc, and I just gave up.

Winamp3 works fine now. It's been in the 1.x stage for quite some time.

Coolplayer uses the MAD decoder which I had been using most of the time up until the final release of Winamp 3. Somehow Winamp just seems to sound better now, plus it seems fairly stable now. The only problem I've had is I lose the display on occasion if I change certain skin modes when the player is on my secondary monitor. That's only happened a couple of times though.

the settings suck and i've been using the old version of winamp since the mid-90's. i ain't giving it up that easily.

I like the old winamp much better than winamp 3.

I wonder if anyone really uses .2 anymore.

Wow

Contrary to a lot of people here, I think V3 is great... I think I started using Winamp at V1.79... when it whooped arse compared to WMP, then WMP8 came out and floored Winamp, but V3 definetly does seem to sound superior to WMP... WTG Nullsoft!!

I change my mind...

Both V2.81 & V3.0 eat CPU cycles like there is no tomorrow...

both Winamps, even when idling consume about 60% of my CPU, whereas WMP8 only uses about 10%...

Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted

I find Winamp 3 way too CPU intensive and depending on the skin, slows my computer down to much. I'll stick to Window's media player.

If Winamp 2.x uses more than 1-3% cpu on that computer, your problem lies elsewhere. Trust me.
