Winamp is the best DJ

ok, so im here writting a paper about hypnosis (which is a bitch!) and i got winamp running, and it was playing Placibo - Special K (timo Maas remix) and faded slowly to Maas Attack. now i dont know bout yalls winamp, but i downloaded a new version cause i got my new laptop, but this one fades the music and mixes it with the other son.

this had to be the best transition iv heard ( not form a dj but from the computer)

has anything like this happened to yall?\

i just though it was cool and decided to share

same with sonique2

yeah, Sonique is launching the beta version of Sonique2 on December 3 but the alpha version I'm runnin has the same ability to crossfade tracks. I've had some pretty cool moments when it was like "whoa...hey, that was a good mix!"
It doesn't beat match tho...(that would be cool)
You should consider playing your choons on AtomixMp3... it does both...nothing cooler than a beatmatchin' crossfadin' mp3playin' um.. player.

Old news. I have my moments with it, though.

I find that the x-fading sounds mostly... terrible. Cold cuts from one track to another for this monkey ^^

Winamp Crossfader > Tiesto

Cross-fading is nothing new.... you just got lucky that the two songs it cross-faded actually sounded good while it happened. Congratulations I guess.

ahh, the joy trance bring us all

Winamp 3 is crap as far as I'm concerned. 2.91 is still my player of choise. Although I have high hopes for Sonique2 But if you want mixing, try BPM Studio Profi...

Damn...have Tiesto's mixing abilities REALLY reached the absolute bottom, and started to dig? I had heard a Tiesto set with bad mixing a while ago, and had thought it had

Maybe. But after they developed Winamp3 there was still a huge demand for Winamp2. So they still continue to develop Winamp2 besides Winamp3. The currend Winamp versions are 2.91 released 04-17-2003 and Winamp 3.0 released 12-18-2002

Personally, I prefer Winamp 2.91 above 3.0

Posted by Puuhis on Dec-01-2003 13:25:

2.91 all the way baby.

Uh, no - I had it way before 3. It was 2.91 that was released after 3.

Preferences -> Output -> Nullsoft CrossFading Output
