Winamp 3 %$$" nice

[Teamz]

[Slougi]

To be honest I prefer the 2.xx series, they seem much more responsive and more stable.

[Smiff]

[DiaBlo666]

winamp 3 is really nice but it take more ram dunno why 2.xx version is very small..
but i like this new version anyway.. their new skin engine is really cool.!

[Engeljaeger]

Yeah...the skin engine is way cool (download skin "zygote" ;) )...
But the difference between Winamp 2 and 3 in functional questions aren't too big...but the cpu- and RAM-usage is a big difference ;)

[Ruesselschnurps]

Is WinAmp 3.xx compatible with the 2.xx PlugIns?

[yogaman]

I've always a strange problem with Winamp 2 ... it kinda freezes sometimes if I select "add - file" ... very strange. So I'll get winamp 3 ;)

[Engeljaeger]

I had the same prob with some releases of Winamp2...but not with the 2 or 3 last releases

it uses more ram because it now support videos so it has to use a little more ram :)

[cooliscool]

3 sucks, it's very unresponsive, and down right slow. 2.xx are the best :)

Ahem....it will support those plugins when the plugin wrapper come out. So it's not that bad. :)

I like it. It does take up more cpu and ram because of the new core it has. Just wait when everyong has very quick computers, WInamp3 will respond just like 2.8. I remember back in the day when I had winamp 1.x and that used a lot of my Cpu (I had a really cheezy cpu back then, p75 actually). Since 2.8 is based on the same core as 1.x (I think, anyways) it will be quicker on systems today. So I think the same thing will happen with Winamp3.

[Falcon4ever]

WTF A PYRO (GX or GL) !!! DESCENT 3 LOVER !!! COOL !!!

ANYWAYZ GO SONIQUE!!!

[Eagle]

If WinAmp 3 is slow then go to the preferences, disable animated rectangles, disable Desktop Alpha Setting, disable Usage Reporting, disable music file lookups, and disable check for new versions at startup. That should speed things up a bit.

[AlphaWolf]

That still didn't make it feel as responsive as winamp 2.8, and not only that, I can't for the life of me see how to change the plugins. Crossfaders have the absolute worst quality, and their mp3 input plugin doesn't even compare to the MAD plugin.

[Smiff]

yeah i think it doesn't use a plugin system, it uses a component system.. and they're looking for component authors...

[`-Zolex-`]

Go SONIQUE!!!

Umm, dude... Sonique seriouslly does suck. Winamp wins over Sonique, but i am finding Winamp 3 Final to slower a bit, when im doing lots of operations, however when im not it runs pretty fast.
:pj64:

[Cless]

i like winamp 3. not a lot of difference for me.

[Jaz]

/me likes his 'amp skin.. :D

[RatTrap]

haha.. i have a few skins you guys don't have :p.. haha.. oooo..

/me looks at his apollo and thecpy and 50% finished emu64 skins for wa2.x :p..

btw.. when listening to music i use the versions of winamp that came b4 the browser window thingy apeard on winamp.. do you know how fast this old old versions are?.. looking good is nice.. but while you still have a huge advantage in speed and quality in these old versions.. it feels kinda stupid for me to start using wa3 :p.. although it's installed in my system.. it's just taking up space ;).. hmmmm

/me clicks on uninstaller :)

[RatTrap]

eather of the above mentioned are completly finished.. most of them need the playlist window to be worked on.. also i kinda made these thingies in a hurry.. this one i made like a year ago now though.. i just recently found it again :)..

so here is a eh.. hmmm.. sneak preview? :p.. well it's old now i think only azi has it though.. but just for the hell of it.. i'll post a pic of it here hehe..

[Teamz]

you should upload those skins on emulation64 :P

[RatTrap]

might happen some day :)..

[sytaylor]

thats quite a neat skin :)
personally i use 2.xx for music and wmp6.4 for videos, its the way forward... yet its from the past ;)

[vampireuk]

this is the one im using now:bunny:

[dixon]

Em, I couldn't be assed picking up on the conversation, but RatTrap: make ur skin readable when u 'Restore' the playlist, so i can stick it up in the corner.. very few scripts do that and look reasonably nice :/ But I know you can change that ;)

[The Khan Artist]

Winamp3 doesn't just take a little bit more resources, it takes a helluvalot more resources. 2.80 loads up about 10 times as fast as 3 for me, and it is 2-3 times as responsive. Also, in Winamp3, I can't change the taskbar icon. :( Not to mention not having 2.x plugin support.

[thine_impalor]

i've got a weird problem, i install winamp3, setup skins and playlists n everything and it works fine...i like it a lot too(slower than wa2.8 tho), when i reboot or switch off the machine and load winamp3, it crashes...i know its rather vague but n e ideas how to fix it??

[thine_impalor]

Eeeek.......upon further inspection...i found that ALL video software CRASH including Windows MEdia Player!! Winamp 2.80 works fine and Windows MEdia player also works while playing mp3s but the machine locks up while playing videos?!?! n e ideas??

[vampireuk]

another one I use quite a bit, and you have all seen the one with the kid and the skull hanging over it before so I wont show that one:P

[Sukh]

Winamp 3 is unresponsive, buggy and generally crap. It's turned into bloatware :(
