Is Winamp 5 better than Previous Winamps?

Well??

Posted by Clyde77 on Dec-24-2003 14:46:

to tell u the truth, i stick with the clasic, the oldest version

Posted by Torakka on Dec-25-2003 01:17:

Yes if you use classic skin

For the moment, 2.91 is better. But last I checked, the release version wasn't even out yet, so the final version could be better.

Too much of a resource hog. I just didn't like it.

Edit: Ah, I see that it is, in fact, out. The version I tried was some pre-beta test version. I'll give it a try

2.81

Posted by CygnusX on Jan-02-2004 14:07:

I voted yes, because Winamp 5 still has the classic skin + you can still use your old Winamp2-plugins.

I think the older one is much better as it has a built in mp3 to wav converter and IMO is easier to use, crashes lots less, uses less resources, and is faster loading by about 200%. I used to get lots of errors in win xp with 5 so I went back to the older version i think 3 in home and at work.

Dont get me wrong, the new one def looks better IMO and has better skins but its just too slow and buggy to be worth keeping.

Its sorta like winXP and 2000 for me where i found xp to be worse so I went back to 2000 and am happy.

NO, I'm sticking with 2.81

Posted by Genesis Evolved on Jan-07-2004 07:48:

Yes.

Never had any probs with it, and the video player is pretty decent as well.

In some aspects it is better. But for the most part, it wasn't really neccesary. I mean it looks prettier and all, but that just uses more RAM, and i'm allready in trouble with that, so the simple skins do well for me. Although i have to say that the tempo increase/decrease plug-in is awesome. Makes the track sound like something new, very cool.

Posted by smuncky on Jan-08-2004 23:24:

winamp 5 is much better cuz u can use the old skins and new skins. also the plugins r cool and u can play games on it. and winamp 2.x is good cuz its been out for soo long and thers barely any bugs in it, after a couple of months, once they start to fix the bugs on 5 (i dont see any) everyone will start to get it

Posted by vmc on Jan-10-2004 18:25:

I think 2.9x versions are the best.

Posted by AcidAngel on Jan-10-2004 20:31:

it's definetily better than the older ones

Posted by Dj Dizzy on Jan-15-2004 20:40:

i got 5 when it first came out, didnt like it and it was way too slow so i got 2.81 again

Posted by Synchronized on Jan-16-2004 11:55:

old winamp is better. The new one fucks up tags

Posted by maria111 on Jan-16-2004 18:35:

Yes much better i had problems with the older version

Posted by CraSHer[UK] on Jan-17-2004 22:41:

I'd have to say no

I use 2.81,

but i cannot understand what could be improved on 2.81, it has the search and plays mp3's, and runs well in the background? what more could it do?
