Winamp 5.02

[Iggy]

Not sure what everyone uses for playing/organizing their media files but I have been a fan of Winamp for years. The newest version is a step beyond anything they have offered in the past. It has some really great features as well as a sharp interface. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a media player or don't like the one you currently have.

Gonna have to check it out as I hate the way WMP has a huge gap between songs even though there is 0 white space at the beginning/end of the songs.

I mix a bit of my own stuff and the player that's with the mixer does it great but it's bad at media management.

i use that to rip my cds, but not to play anything. i should mention that i still use wmp to play audio cds and dvds (although i rarely do either on my pc)

ok i just d/l winamp5, and heres a warning:

it no longer supports .b4s playlists!!!!!!! at all!

i had all of mine in m3u on version2, then had to change them all to b4s on v3, now i gotta change them all again! :mad:

just a warning!

also it seems bigger. and even though it says it supports some older themes, most of mine crashed it. :sigh:

Hmm. I'm leary of trying WinAmp5. I remember installing version 3 and had so many problems (and useless features) that I went back to version 2. From what I hear version 5 is just version 2 and version 3 code combined...

[Iggy]

I completely agree. Version 3 was total crap. It did have a ton of useless glut and I hated it for that. Besides, it ran like crap. This does have many of the version 3 "features" but it also has been updated enough in other ways to make it worthwhile. Besides, it's free so downloading and trying it is basically a no risk proposition.

anime themes are mostly done by the sloppiest people around. wouldn't surprise me if it crashed with those. even so, i love the new winamp, winamp 3 sucked.

[SpongeBob]

Yup, I grabbed this puppy during my ill timed OS reinstall a couple weeks back. Much less of a hog tham version 3, while being much nicer looking too.

On a related note, I've tried many, but still fail to find one that's truly all that good, can anyone recommend a nice MP3 ID tagger. I've got quite a few MP3's that were improperly or never tagged with ID3 info. For extra credit, recommend one that tagged ID3 ver2 as well.

Thanks!

[ignus]

you can do it yourself through winamp or just the properties of the file. of course thats really time consuming...
