Winamp 5 seems just like 3 to me

Isn't Winamp 5 suppose to be faster to load and easier on resources? I installed it, and i'm using the MMD3 skin and all, but it seems to load up just as slow. the filename was "winamp50superprealphaleetness2_full_noaod.exe" and i checked the ver. its 2.92. Also when ever i close WA5, it pops an error message saying runtime error. Also Ctrl+Alt+Del to check the CPU usage and Mem Usage, CPU was about 66 and Mem Usage was 30, 652 K. Is that normal? BTW I'm running a Pentium 2 ^_^

Being that is is an alpha it will have various bugs, The biggest probs will come with the skins you use - Using diff ones will have diff affects, like use diff resources and cause diff errors..

This is great ! I'm very happy.. I've waited this for a long time.. and here it is.
it's still alpha (illegal LOL.. its freeware!!) if you ask me they're angry that we've seen their new alpha and they cannot surprise us now.. but it always happens....

Im liking this winamp 5. Nice, handles my playlists just like the old winamp, but i cant find where it puts my html generated playlists. Also for the guy who said it takes 22+megs is you have a lot of songs on the playlist, i have 3400 mp3,s on my playlist and its taking 10 megs right now...

 

[UnrealRocks]

OK - Today I descovered a VERY bad bug with this thing ... it does not like the halflife engine or the unreal2 engine AT ALL!

I'm a developer for the Unreal2 engine (HL - I play CS, lol), and if I have this open while running ether engine up it gets its knickers in a real twist ... normally ending in having to reboot!

This is a little annoying seeing as I tend to have WinAmp on all the time - spodes its a problem which can be addressed!

 

[Electronic Punk]

nasty, i don't play music when I cs, as I like to use the footsteps etc.

 

[napalmnthemorning]

Looks great so far especially for alph1 I recently got W3 and some of the skins made it hard to find some of the controls such as where to change some of the skins. I can't wait to get it!

There are more, but I honestly can't be bothered to list them.

If you are going to make a ridiculous statement such as that, then back it up, otherwise keep your remarks to yourself.

 

[Teddy]

Chill Winston!!!

Didnt mean to rile ya!

When closing Winamp down does anyone else here get an error 'beep'. More of an annoyance than anything else.

PS It wasnt a 'ridiculous statement'...it was quite accurate infact. Meant in a light-hearted way. Hence the " a disgrace i tell'ya" part.

wtf I only have one song in my playlist, and its taking like 29mb of memory with the MMD3 skin, but when I try just the base skin its like 14mb of memory, wow what a difference When I was using winamp 2.x, with a skin or just the baase skin, it usually only took 2 - 10mb of memory.

Is it because I'm running a Pentium 2? Everyone else here is saying it takes up so little.

BTW, how come everytime I open winamp 5, it always opens in the center of the screen?

The cause is the skin you are using .

K!

Are you using a skin? it gave me an error beep when I had it running+skinned.

Is it because I'm running a Pentium 2?

A pentium2 isn't your memory is it what speed is the chip and how much system memory do you have?

 

[Teddy]

Yes i did have it skinned. That was probably it!!

Gone now, back to Quin.
