no point in using winamp 3, its a lot slower and the sound quality is much worse, plus its extra "features" aren't even being taken advantage of unless you use special DSP plugins or special skins, which IMO, dsp effects ruin the audio more than they help it, and the new skins are just in an xml layout, no advantage over the old skins, just easier for the developers to write, which IMO is bad because now your sacrificing speed and making it require more memory for ease of development where its not necessary.
