Anyone tried WinAmp 5 yet? I've still got 2.91, and I'm wondering what marvelous things 5 has.

I've been using 5 since the beta and love it. The fact that it runs like 2 with the features of 3 was enough to hook me. Haven't found anything wrong with it at all. All the issues I had with the original beta were fixed in the following beta release and don't show up in the final either

W5 is (for me at least) very stable. Previous versions crashed often (every few days) and the visualisations would seldom run for longer than 5 minutes without crashing and taking Winamp with it.

I was using 2.91, and just upgraded to 5, and see no reason to do so. There is nothing 5 does (that I use) that 2.91 did not do, and the forms get messed up if you switch resolutions (like exiting games). So while 5 is definitely not bad, to me it is essentially 2.91 with a bug.

I like Winamp 5 and have had no major problems with it, other than the one Scorch mentioned which is, imho, rather annoying. I was usign Quintessential for a while, but I like how Winamp has direct integration with Shoutcast and Internet TV.

Could someone who is still using 2.91 tell me how much RAM it uses in XP just idle? WA5 is using just over 12,000k idle here ATM.

I like it better than the previous versions, but I didn't like how it hijaaked ALL my media types whenever I start it up, even though I only tell it I want it to play mp3's. Whenever I started it up, it would change all of my file preferences no matter what I told it to all use winamp. It's aggressiveness earned it the "uninstall" unfortunate because it's really a good program.

winamp 2.91 = good
winamp 3 = suck
winamp 5 = best
I was stubborn and didn't want to switch from 2. I tried 3 briefly and thought it sucked. Winamp 5 is the 2 engine with the skinning capabilities of 3.. it's great.

My W5 uses 3800 with a 40MB song, 800-1100 idle, with Waiora 3000 skin.
With MMD3 skin it uses 4400-13000 idle, 5700-20000 with the 40MB song.
Part of it's usage depends on the skin, part on wether it is the last window clicked on.

Now WA5 is only using 10,000k while playing, and I have NOT rebooted since the last time I checked.
Guess it just changes depending on the time of the week.
