Winamp 5?

Sharkims · Nov 21, 2003, 05:34 PM

I like it so far. Using RC8 now.

Saint_K · Nov 21, 2003, 06:24 PM

didnt tried it yet

-={420}=- · Nov 21, 2003, 06:31 PM

They fixed...then broke...then fixed then broke the skin support again. When u use MMD3 there is no display for kbps, stereo, etc.
Last version it worked in was beta 2. Oh, well at least it's not as annoying as the mouse wheel scroll-volume thing.

wertret · Nov 21, 2003, 07:01 PM

rc8 is working great for me

mbeeston · Nov 21, 2003, 10:08 PM

I actually liked the ability to queue songs in Winamp 3, but it isn't in 5 unfortunately. Perhaps it is, and I've just missed it - oh well, it still plays the songs perfectly well

Judas · Nov 22, 2003, 04:18 AM

i'm not touching it till it finalized.....

Madgoat1979 · Nov 22, 2003, 04:20 AM

Ummm iTunes anyone?!

I switched.... I got so damn fed up with winamp, crazying... taking forever and agin to load.... Crappy skins...

(although the actual "play" features kicked ass, the rest of the player sucked)

I like simple.

...winamp.... i thought was simple..... 1-2 maybe 3 second wait time for winamp 3 MMD skinned with a pile of visualization packs..... It doesn't even take long to load on extremely slow machines...

-={420}=- · Nov 22, 2003, 06:09 AM

They're also missing crossfade.

Shadow Lady · Nov 22, 2003, 04:49 PM

no they aint, crossfading works just fine also does the skins thingy, well thats for rc8 dunno what u people are using

I have to say I love it, is just as functional as winamp2 with the crossfading support of winamp3 and skins and the new global hotkeys are great ^^

not mentioning the opaque on focus/hover settings, and another features I dont remember now

ohh yeah like SEH options for the visualisations

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Nov 22, 2003, 05:10 PM

Im lost where are you finding skins and shit? I love the nullsoft video

go to the media library and click on the bottom video something and there is a whole list or streaming servers

-={420}=- · Nov 23, 2003, 03:04 AM

Winamp 5 RC8 using MMD3 skin the crossfade does not work and neither does it show the stereo/mono kbps khz. The last version where it did show them was beta 2. As for the crossfade, the last version it worked was Winamp 3 developer build #499.

Shadow Lady · Nov 23, 2003, 01:00 PM

strange, it works for me since beta2, it didnt work on beta1, not even the crossfade, but since beta 2 it works perfect, what output plugin are u using? u are supposed to use "Directsound output 2.8" for the crossfading to work, dunno bout the stereo/mono kbps or khz thing, cauze it works fine for me =/

-={420}=- · Nov 24, 2003, 04:07 AM

My bad, you're right, it's just with the MMD3 skin. I tried the winamp modern and both the crossfade and the display work. I must say that's very strange. The good thing is I can turn on crossfade with the winamp modern skin and then switch to MMD3 and it stays on! Cool! But, they still messed up the display for MMD3. It did used to work on beta 2. Hopefully this is fixed in the next release.

Shadow Lady · Nov 24, 2003, 04:26 AM

I still say, strange, I use the MMD3 skin, and it works for me, I hope u find a solution =/

Maybe if I uninstalled/deleted all winamp related files/settings and reinstalled that would fix it.

Shadow Lady · Nov 24, 2003, 12:59 PM

indeed, or just install it in another folder + mmd3 just to see if it will work that way

Zardon · Nov 24, 2003, 01:09 PM

I know everyone hates Winamp 3, but I love it, and it works great with DFX sound enhancement. have they upgraded DFX to work with V5 yet?

DallasStar · Nov 24, 2003, 05:21 PM

I just checked it out. It really is great. I was expecting something silly like WA3, but this is really nice

.

Shadow Lady · Nov 24, 2003, 06:21 PM

yup, nothin silly this time, good good ^^

-={420}=- · Nov 24, 2003, 07:42 PM

Do any of u play counter-strike by any chance?

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Nov 24, 2003, 08:02 PM

Hmm am i the only that see the simlarity lol

spark rain fire · Nov 24, 2003, 08:17 PM

Took those works right out of my mouth. I tried musicmatch, even the newest version, and I must say it really really sux. Maybe some concepts are copied but winamp takes it to the next level. It's like Test Drive vs. NFS:Underground. Some could say that NFS copied the underground thing in test drive but NFS is just sooooo much better.

Shadow Lady · Nov 25, 2003, 11:37 AM

indeed, u are the only one seein it

-={420}=- · Dec 4, 2003, 07:01 PM

Well, it appears that I didn't even have to uninstall/reinstall because today a new version of winamp came out (5 RC10 [beta4]) that fixes all my problems with MMD3. This is THE perfect version. Finally!!! There is not a single thing wrong with it. My fav EQ setting is Full Bass/Treble and my fav color scheme for MMD3 is clean | green . Opacity : 80% . Beautiful !!! I love it !!!

Check it out HERE - thanks to me

Also, I can't wait to try the global hotkeys feature which I think isn't new but I didn't try it yet. If this works in counter-strike, Winamp 5 is a Godsend !

Finally I would be able to control winamp from CS without using other progs or using alt-tab.

Here is my config (default - just removed the ones I didn't need) :

Play....Ctrl+Alt+Insert
Pause...Ctrl+Alt+Home
Stop....Ctrl+Alt+End
Prev....Ctrl+Alt+Page Up
Next....Ctrl+Alt+Page Down
Vol Up..Ctrl+Alt+Up
Vol Dn..Ctrl+Alt+Down
