Winamp is used by a lot of us and I've used 2.81 for a long time now and winamp tells me everytime I load the bitch to upgrade to 5. So should I upgrade to 5 or stay 2.81, I'd be happy to hear what you think.

Id upgrade. Its not really that different, and it supports more.

I'm just tired of the lame bombardment from winamp and I'd hate to lose my current winamp skin, which is just a larger pic of my avatar

Like a sports bra, just because it supports more doesn't necessarily make it better.

Any other differences?

Surely newer versions would be backwardly compatible with older skins?

I like the new version of Winamp 5.

It has all i need, and it never stuffs up for me, ever.

Hmmmm, to think i was a Windows Media Player man until six months ago!

I still use WMP for some of my other nontrance playlists that I dont want to recreate.

Also, what about backwards compatability for plugins?
