has anyone heard of Winamp Pro 5??

Winamp3 was a failure in terms of what it hoped to achieve, many users reverted back to Winamp 2 as it was faster and more recent versions included some of the features that 3.0 introduced. inamp5 (working title) hopes to merge the best features of the two, as this is an alpha this version is not yet obvious but I am sure you guys will want to try it out anyway!

http://www.winamp.com/player/

Winamp 5.0:
* Support for classic Winamp 1.x/2.x/2.9x skins and Winamp 3 ("Modern") skins
* Fancy new modern skin:
- Integrated video, AVS, and Milkdrop support
- Many built-in colorthemes
* Same ol' classic skin for people who want the Winamp 2 feel
* Vastly more powerful media library:
- Automatic background directory scanning options
- Customizable views and columns, graphical view editor
- Internet Radio (SHOUTcast) and TV listings
- Context-sensitive item info viewer
* CD ripping support (AAC@2x in free version, MP3 at unlimited speeds in pro)
* CD burning support (limited to 2x in free version)
* Advanced title formatting logic for file types that support it
* Huge AVS updates:
- New effects, bundled some popular 3rd party APEs
- A much better selection of default presets
- Experimental SMP support
- Full AVS preset subdirectory support
- Extensions and optimizations to the AVS evaluation library
* Support for playback of AAC and VP6 in NSV files/streams
* Global hotkey support
* new Signal Processing Studio DSP plug-in
* Options to disable plugin exception handling for developers
* A ton of new plug-in API calls (SDK forthcoming)
* fixed changing-systray options while minimized bug
* new Winamp icon
* added XP Manifest.xml to winamp.exe
* made agent icon use configured winamp system tray icon
* optimized winamp's load titles on demand logic, made faster
* made winamp's internal submenu management more reliable
* added skin font override preferences
* added spacebar shows current playlist item in playlist editor
* fixed manual playlist advance w/ repeat
* made winamp's open directory recurse checkbox nicer looking
* big prefs overhaul to make steve happy
* huge thanks to Amir Szekely and the rest of the NSIS developers
for their help

there was a topic on this a few weeks ago.

using 5.0 and it's working great. Does all the things 2.x did for me before and even uses classic skins. Got used to the old format.
So far no complaints.

I tried it but went back to 2.x because 5 really doesn't offer anything new that I would use so there's no point. I don't want anything more out of my Winamp.

From their FAQ: I guess there's not even the slightest chance that my old serial number from 1999 will still work, huh?
Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Haha. Hah. Ha. Sorry. It doesn't.


What they emailed me when I paid: This registration is valid for ALL versions of Winamp, past, present and
future.

I registered back in like 1997.... I can't find the e-mail though with my registration. Oh well.

I like it, there is this enhancer plugin too which is pretty nice. Using classic skins as well, but never tired burning a cd with it.
