There was some shit I hated about 5+ after switching from 2.5, most noteably the crossfading between tracks, and the fading in/out of tracks when you fast forwarded through them. That however I turned off. Apart from that, 2.8 would have old mp3 codecs, which inturn would make tracks sound like shit. Definitly not good if you're a producer and are a/b ing your tracks massive.

the spectrum analyzer.

I need that to produce, i adjust my mix with the help of that thing..sounds odd, but thats how i learnd it so far with 2 years of producing.

P.S
Anyone that have 2.8 or 2.91 that could send me please?

If your looking for any old version of Winamp, You can find it at winampheaven.net, They have all the old versions your looking for, But I recomend you get version 2.95, It adds suport for NSV video streams, So you can watch live video streams on it using the library feature to find servers.

I had a feeling you were going to say that. Personally, I also use the spectrum analyzer every so often to check dynamics, and to check what's sitting where in the mix. HOWEVER, ALL winamp's have the spectrum analyzer. see (my winamp: 5+ using an old skin of course):

The spectrum analyzer's there

Oh man...

I moved to Quintessential Player a couple of years ago....uses all WinAmp plug-ins, and only like 2-4% CPU...

Plus, it has a built in LAME encoder so you can rip CD's right from it...AND....you can save any stream that you listen to!
I have gigs of Proton Radio sets....
