Only, if I could afford an iPod. 
you don't want an ipod ..... yeah it looks sleek as hell and yeah it fits your entire colections of mp3s .... and much much more but......
the batteries die after a year and they are non-replaceable. In turn apple sez they can provide a $50 discount towards the purchase of a new one,... now what kinnda bull sh*t is that! <_<
are you serious? can you link to some info of that?

no way, my friend has had an ipod for at least a year now and he uses it loads. the batteries arnt replaceable you charge them.
Great News! I just recently switched back to Winamp2 so this is welcomed news! My video playback on Winamp3 started to get horrible for like the 5th time installing it, so I had finally had enough! By the looks of it, this new Winamp2 will have video playback and a nice Media Library! I cannot wait!
cool, the screenshot lists only DRI tracks! mosh it up 
LOL
anyway, this is nice, maybe this cvan also crossover (look at the screenshot again!) to QCD...
If the rechargable batteries are Lithium Ion, they WILL run out, a year sounds like a good estimate. Are you sure apple doesnt just sell the batteries?

OMG OMG OMG!
pls tell me it has that library feature now~
1. I know people that have iPods for quite awhile and haven't heard of such a complaint. Even re-chargeable batteries wearout, so if anybody wants to stop at an Apple resaler and ask about replacing the rechargeable battery they should because I don't see info. at the Apple site. This is a concern.
2. The Winamp skin looks as ugly as ever with the tiny buttons and overly busy interface.
Shak,
From what I can gather from Justin's blog, media library support from WA3 is being ported over to 2.9
Also, the skinning features from WA3 are being ported over also, from what I can gather from the blog.
I do hope that they don't port over WA3 performance though :/

So your saying WA2 will be able to use WA3 skins?
Alrighty...it's time for someone to start making an itunes WA3 skin if that's the case....wow...If only I know how.
btw WHY would someone use WA3 if WA2 can use WA3 skins?
curious
This is very cool indeed. I have been wanting an iPod forever. (so damn expensive!!) I'll probably wait until I get a Mac anyways for the ultimate duo. The iPod and OS X work so seamlessly together. I want to experience the iPod the way it was meant to be experienced. Perfect coenciding. The seamless, flawless connection and compatibility. Ahhhh, thats what I need. 
I think its funny, They are going to make a Winamp3 with Winamp2! I think they are starting to realize that "If It aint broke, dont fix it". Hopefully, Winamp 2.9 will have everything Winamp3 had without the nasty performance, like Grusic said.
