How is Winamp v5? I am still using V2.91. I hesitated on using v5 because I heard it uses more resources and is slower.

Is this any good? Since I heard winamp was bought by some company I stoped using it, but I'm not sure about this the 3 version was crap, I used the 2.xx version, now Im stuck with itunes (cause of the ipod), but I don't know it this is word the install.

Sincerely Shin Mike.

Personally I have always used Winamp and still love it to this day (even if it has been taken over by AOHell). I use the MAD plugin for input, the ASIO plugin for output, and the Multipass skin for aesthetics. These things do not take too much tweaking to get right, and I have found that this setup gives me the best sound quality for my system.

I use WinAmp exlusively as well. Haven't downloaded the latest version as of yet though. I have no problems with my current version of WinAmp (V5.0), so I want to wait for some reviews to be posted up before I take the plunge :P

I like v2 as it runs smoother than v3 and v5.
