winamo 5 = winamp 2+3. There wasnt a 4, but 5 takes the speed of 2 and lets you use the skinning capabilities of 3

Winamp 3 stunk pretty badly. This should be really nice, because Winamp 2 was really good. Using it now, actually. Can't wait 'till the final release.

im using winamp 5 right now..its pretty good..the thing i like about it so far is that...it combines winamp 3 and 2..so that means you can have both winamp 2 and 3 skins for it..so that makes things a lil better

So do the Winamp commans from Keyboard Launchpad. This is nice. And I acutally like the "Winamp Modern" default skin. Plus the fact that it nicely uses both WSZ and WAL skin files is good.

Looks good so far. It'll be nice to do my playing and ripping with one program.

I'm using the beta - working great here (I had problems with the previously released alpha. I think this will be a nice version

Sonique 2 all the way! Even though this new WA5 is better than WA3, I feel that the potential in Sq2, despite the fact that it is in alpha, will make a real dent once again!

Well it's nice, but it's still really pokey and often unresponsive on my computer. It often takes a second or so to resond to a mouse click, and often has large pauses between tracks (often seeing repaint issues on its GUI during these pauses).
Yet, Winamp2, WMP9, and QCD are all relatively snappy on this computer.

What's up with their website? It looks like winamp.com hasn't been updated in a few months (or longer); I went there expecting to see some kind of news about version 5, but there's nothing there except 2 and 3. They don't even have any announcements from when they decided to stop development on version 3. Have they moved to a different site, or what?
