    So I don't really feel like installing this. What makes it better than Winamp 2.9x?

        Lessee...

        MUCH better at video, not that I use Winamp for video.

        Everything is better integrated...

        It's what Winamp 3 wanted to be, without the horrifying drek that was Winamp 3.

        And, unlike Winamp2, it no longer looks like a first-year engineer designed it... sharp edges and cluttered interface and all.

          Well, I use Winamp 2 for music, and Samami/MPC for video. I've been thinking a new video player might be nice, but haven't found one I really think I should switch to.

            My favourite video player is the BSPlayer, havent decided yet wheter i like that RC winamp 5 better than winamp 2, especially since they added the media library

              You can always remove the media library if you don't like it. All modules and plug-ins are removable.

                I haven't tried this yet, but can it play real and/or quicktime if the codecs are installed?

                  Nothing except MPC can play real/quicktime.

                  My biggest wish is that the "anonymous" author of Quicktime Alternative and Real Alternative would provide them as ACTUAL codecs instead of MPC plugins.

                          Currently using 2.90
                          Give me a GOOD reason to change
                          I ONLY use it to listen to MP3's.
                          I almost never see it since I use a remote pluging that lets me controll it with ANY of my remotes (since they are all Panasonic ones )

                          Those reasons you (Gurm) stated above are really weak and fuzzy

                            I have found feature that didn't workand one that I didn't like. I tried to rip a CD to AAC file (whatever that is, I was just curious about it) and ... it didn't work. But before that I tried to change the rip speed to 8x and it said:

                            this feature in not availble in this version. please purchase WinAmp Pro to enable ripped faster than 2x.

                            Or something like that.

                            to this I say .... booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooo...
