Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the next-generation-of-a-classic dept.

An anonymous coward writes: Having been a loyal iTunes user for quite some time, after seeing the report on Ars Technica about the newly released Winamp 5 Final, I simply had to try it out. It's pretty amazing, rivaling iTunes in many ways on Windows (mainly, speed). Ripping, library, etc: They're all there. Plus it comes with a slew of of new scriptable features. Simply put, it's dead sexy. Get your copy now! Note, last link requires some other OS.

    Don't worry. I'll take care of this.

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that while iTunes allows you to rip to .mp3 or AAC as well as other things (like run on a Macintosh) for FREE, you have to pay for the pro-version of WinAmp to do the same things (well...accept for the AAC and MacOS support).

    Just wanted to mention this...

    ;-p

    heh...oh well...I have some karma to burn.

    It's Fibonacci, that'll be Winamp 8.
    Ex:
    1 + 1 = 2
    1 + 2 = 3
    2 + 3 = 5
    3 + 5 = 8
    So your sequence is 1,2,3,5,8

    Free with a $200 OS and overpriced, underperforming hardware, sure.

    Yes, but you can also run iTunes on a G5 with OSX. :D

    Is Nullsoft adopting a Fibonacci versioning system?

    'cause that would be awesome.

    ...I dunno. Fibonacci versioning sounds cool and all, but tech support would be a nightmare:

    Tech: "Okay, sir, which version of our software are you running?"
    Customer: "Version 1."
    Tech: "OK...which version 1 are you running?"
    Customer: "Huh?"
    Tech: "Are you running the first version 1 or the second version 1?"
    Customer: "Ummmm..."
