I think this might just be a bit overshadowed by iTunes, but what the hell. xD

It's nice. A big improvement over winamp2, and the new modern skin is sexy.

#65920

in fact, maybe ill just uninstall winamp right now.... Maybe ill just keep it, but it wont be my default player. Winamp was my default player like for 4 years or maybe even 5. After 4 years, I think will leave it for a while.

#65923

poor winamp, it's so sweet now...

Long live Winamp!

It seems way to cool to be forgotten

I've been using Winamp since 1.xx releases, recently i tried foobar but back to winamp 2, winamp 3 imo is too heavy, this one seems to have everything i wanted winamp 2 core + winamp 3 eye candy = winamp 5

#66051

#66052

Great, Winamp shall never be forgotten, not after ll the years ive been using it! :own:

No one ever created an iTunes skin for WA3 because WA3 was basically crap. That is the main reason.

#66088

Well someone can create one now, since you'll be able to use it on winamp3 and 5...
