Official thread to discuss the Winamp 5 beta.

Looks like some things aren't going to remain free by the time it's out (Screenshot attached.)

[jackal_0s]

uhh...i like ur avatar... haven't tried winamp5 yet, but I hope it doesn't suck like 3 does...

 

[SPeedY_B]

It's much faster than winamp3, yet has all the features

 

[lechtard]

Sucks they are going to charge for it again ...

 

[Tabula Rasa]

Winamp finally sold out?!

Hooray for capitalism!
Looks to me like there are going to be 2 versions.

 

[SPeedY_B]

They sold out after v2.65.. to AOL, now AOL are just showing who's in charge. I'm gonna un-install it and just use iTunes anyway

I'm sure most people will (yet AGAIN) just stick with version 2.x of winamp anyway.

I applied the Invicta skin and it was slower than it was in winamp3. I guess this brings up the old "it's going to get worse before it gets better" quote. I'm sure it'll be great when it's done, but it still needs some work. *looks up definition of beta* hey whaddaya know? lol

 

[Terrahertz]

hmmm downloading now.

Diff skins will cause diff affects, the modern skin uses a lot of resources also - I found that is you shut off visuals it increases the speed, also shut off desktop alpha blending .. that should speed it up a little bit ..

Why did they take out the crossfading anybody know a good plugin to get my crossfading back?

 

[Electronic Punk]

You will only need to pay for features that require licences.

 

[SPeedY_B]

CD Ripping doesn't require a licence, burning may, Don't really know.. or care, my primary use for Winamp was for playing media, and it still does that for free.
