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.

    > What is it that separates foobar from Winamp? I don't see the need for tabbed playlists

    Well, tabbed playlists would be good for DJs. The only problem is that MP3s should NOT be good enough for DJs, yet some fools insist on doing it anyway. Maybe if everything is encoded at 256... So no, I don't see the need either.
