Just a quick note to tell you all that Winamp 3 has been officially released by Nullsoft.
It weighs in at 3.37mb; there isnt the usual lite, standard and full versions yet, just the full version is available, but they hint that smaller versions will be available soon
Winamp 3 offers a completely new engine compared to the older winamp2. It is built on XML, or so I am told. It allows "freeform skinning" which makes it up to the standard of the old sonique, or wmp.
Update: You can grab it now from AusGamers Files as well (promoted QGL Forum item).

ok
it seems to me much smaller and quicker than the release candidates...
I would recommend it if you want someone different, although, there really isnt that much difference in terms of actual sound quality and playability...
its up to you

I cant use my keyboard controlls with it, because it uses special software for the controlling, its not programmable...

sonique is the most useless peice of s*** I ever installed as media players go. Hell I deleted it and KEPT windows media player...that's saying something. Last time I tried to download it you had to f*****g register just to get it and log in to some stupid ass site.

i don't know if that's a particularly good release but my fave plug-in works with it without any hassles and it's as bloat free as i can get it atm

does that sneaky amp plugin work on winamp 3?
Posted 09:40am 10/8/02
It might redeem something for me as the top skinners get into gear for the final ver and make some good skins but until then I will stick to WA2.

for example, how do you...
-change the refresh rates and style (line/fire) for the spectrum analyser visualisation?
-read ID3 tags on play, rather then load/display?
-single click menu selection, where you hold down the button (oldskool).
-change playlist font size?
etc etc...

Should be fun to play with though. I just finished a five day Microsoft "Building Apps with XML" course so I'm gonna get down and dirty with this sucka!

Quintessential Mp3 Player
imo it has a better decoder than winamp, and is fully compatible with all winamp plugins.
Oh the skins are purty too =)

it's called winampmate.
there is also sneakamp
but sneakyamps requires you to type the command rather than hot keys like winampmate.

Except it played my a few of my video files (in divx) UPSIDE DOWN, and it lagged as hell when I tried to play any video files (including the non-divx ones).
So it's back to windows media player 6.4 for videos for me.
Otherwise it is nice... but the repeat one file function doesn't seem to work for me. Oh well... I think I'll use this new winamp for a few weeks before I dig up my old winamp v2.80.

what a piece of s*** bit of bloatware... 20mb just to play an mp3? even windows media player only uses 10mb of ram for the same job......
damn.. another cool program turned into bloatware..
