Yeah Winamp 5.X will keep your Winamp 2.X skins along assuming you don't delete them. Winamp 5.X is also a lot more resource friendly compared to 3. Good move toronto. :P
You should make a Winamp 5.X skin of your avatar... you could add some nice effects... somehow...
:D |

Sorry, wasn't trying to take a shot at you there... :)
Hmmm... Might have to upgrade it myself. Is it gonna be a big download for us 56k-ers? (well... me.) |

Winamp has brainwashed everybody, that's all.
Plus... you can't tell me you don't like their Uncle Sam advertisements for 5.X |

I downloaded the full 8mb version, 29 secs to do so on my l33t cable connection
they have lite versions as small as 468kb |

Doh too late. But in case others are getting that pesky "Do you want to upgrade?" msg... You can turn it off!!!
Preferences -> Setup -> Check for new versions of WinAmp at startup
Just uncheck that and you should be set. I'm still using 2.91 without any problems. BTW, are 2.xx plugins compat with the new version? I'm still using mp3cue (what a great util!!!) and that's partly why I'm not bothering upgrading - besides what's new anyway?
Actually, let me go a bit further here... I mainly use WinAmp now cause of the cue support from mp3cue. For mp3 singles, I use iTunes. It's great, y'all should check it out. It's awesome for organizing your singles mp3 collection. |

| I used v.5 before but couldn't stand the loading time and the general slowness compared to 2.xx. I'm wondering when using the classic skin with v5 is it still slow? |

| I'm using v.5 but the lite version, so basically 2.x but without the reminders to upgrade, plus a few more features that I actually use. |

Upgrade, but upgrade to 2.91
5x isn't worth it |

i was using 2.8, then i saw those cool skinns for 5.xx, batman skinn and stuff, thought i try , didn't really notice any problems.
if you have an average pc, the heavy skinns take up 5 seconds to start up when you start winamp, but you can always keep using the classic one, and the load up time is still less than a second. |

Uncheck "Check for new versions of Winamp at startup" under prefs :)
I'm still using 2.91 and I don't plan to upgrade. |
