Stick to 2

Used Winamp 3 for a video player, but now I've found programs such as Elecard and BSplayer... So I will be rejoining the faithful 2.8

*mmmm.... J key*

I've been using Winamp3 for a while now.
I've switched back to Winamp2 a couple times, but I keep coming back to 3 because it has feature that I can't give up now.
All it takes is the right components to make it kick ass
Here's the component for the J key that you wanted: http://www.winamp.com/components3/de...onentId=132996

And I love this one - It's a hotkey component: http://www.winamp.com/components3/de...onentId=118998

Winamp 3 is bloatware. I downgraded to 2.9 which I currently use.

I have no problems with Winamp 3, I don't see why everyone hates it so much. I just didn't install all the video shit, and told it to only play the types of files I wanted... it wasn't that difficult. It does eat a tiny bit of resources but once it's open I have no problems, it just takes an extra second to get it open. That, and I love the skins I can get for it. Makes it not even look like Winamp.

Tried winamp3 for a few weeks. Same bad experience as most people posted. Made the mistake of somehow closing the video window and damn near never found it again. Winamp 2 was much better.

Well aparently the people who made winamp 3 also hate it cuz they have started working on a winamp that will combine winamp 2's easibility with winamp 3's nice features.

For now stick with 2.

ditto, except for the old hardware, its buggy as hell IMO and just not worth it

Fuck winamp3. Winamp2 lite for me pls.

i <3 winamp 2, 3 does nothing for me, it has so many useless features that i dont need in a mp3 player

Tried WinAmp 3 for a couple weeks...loaded slow, such a RAM hog, and half the decent skins were unstable at best.

And not good for an AMD 700 with 128 Mg pc100 RAM :(

2.8 for me kthx

winamp 3 is a disaster gone terribly worse
