Winamp3!

Since it was talked about here a while ago I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that the final version of winamp3 is out. It supports all the normal stuff plus video and some other new things.

I love it! It's better than the "windows player" or "real" any day! Also, unlike the Beta versions it's very stable.

    Woo! At last! I've been waiting for this for nearly 2 years now!

    Err very stable? Its crap son.

    It's crashed more times than I care to remember.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I have to say I wouldn't call it stable either. DLL errors on startup, the playlist doing... odd things. Stuttering between tracks. And with the lack of any skins that support the old fashioned window shade mode, I think I'll be sticking with 2.

    Who wants to design an incredibly simple, incredibly functional WA3 skin? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I'd jump on that bandwagon.

    Does it read quicktime movies? Can you take screenshots with it?

  • There is one, it's call the Apill skin, and it has an uber small windowshade mode.

    It hasn't crashed on me yet.

    One thing I DO NOT LIKE AT ALL is that you can't tell it to play a directory!!! AAAAARRG!! That was one of my fav features in 2.X And a warning that it's going to hijack all of your video extenstions would be nice.

    I use Sonique and IMHO it is better and is stable...

    I've never liked Sonique. Don't know why.

    This new WinAmp sucks!

    When you put in a cd, it'll play it, but it wont update the playlist!

    I like the fade between tracks thing though, but I'm off back to WinAmp 2!

    you gotta love how programs are made nowadays. you got the Alpha phase, then the Beta phase then the Final Release phase then the fixing the final release phase. they should just call the Final Release the Charlie phase.

    The crossfade thing has been available as a plugin for Winamp2 (one made by Nullsoft) for about 3 years now. You can get it on their site.

  • It won't work as a shell extension (right click on a directory), at least, not on mine for some reason...maybe because I had 2 installed at the same time, who knows.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    one thing I really like about WA3: Media Library.
    Hands down, the best thing ever.
  • It's been stable for me on my machine, just luck I guess.

    I do agree that I don't like how it hyjacks all your file types.

    Hey, it's free, and it didn't take long to download, I'm not going to complain, right? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Why do you use Netscape? It's a cut down version of Mozilla.
