Well, this is NOT the leaked alpha, this is an actual beta release from Nullsoft,,,as far as I know anyway :)
So far over the alpha, its using less RAM, and seems to have a bit cleaner sound.
Check out the screenshot, what the hell is that crap???
I like the new version overall, it uses about 12 meg of RAM (could be my DSP plugin). Not much CPU durring playback. It sounds good, supports any kind of winamp skin/plugin ever made, and has some nice features. I think its sad that they're making this previously free player slowly a pay program.

thatly be like winrar or winzip
crackable in 5 secs :P
sad to se them go pay
just downloaded it-sounds excellent-not too much resource use. cool visuals
I've been playing with it a bit more, and I'm actually kinda liking it. I've stuck with winamp 2.x skins up to here, but I like the modern skin more. Its compact, easy to navigate/see, and easy to get at visualizations and stuff. Nullsoft actually thought this one through pretty good.

Its one small step untill AOL decides to make it AOL X.0 Exclusive. I would rather use QCD.

what happened to version 4.0?
Version 2+3=5
Kinda creative I guess. They combined the best features of 2 and 3...

its supposed to be a mix of winamp 2 and winamp 3. 2+3=5
The new verison is sweet. Especially the internet tv.
yeah, like people won't even try to crack that.
I would get it if the new winmx didn't come with an audio player.
Before people bitch:
From http://members.cox.net/s1138/wa5.html (mirror; Sawg's page is currently down):
Winamp Pro
Why Pro?
In forthcoming versions of Winamp, new features are going to be optionally included which need to be paid for on a per copy basis. As Winamp gets a lot of downloads, it is not viable for Nullsoft to pay for this themselves.
What will I gain from getting Winamp Pro?
Currently you will be able to:
Encode MP3
Rip CDs at full speed
Burn CDs at full speed
Also, in the future other Pro features will be added, for which your Winamp Pro key will work. (Things like DVD Playback, hopefully )
What will I lose from sticking with regular Winamp?
Nothing!
Indeed, you will gain the ability to Rip and Burn CDs at slow speeds, as well as all the other new features in Winamp 5.
I already have a good free CD Ripper/Burner, do I have to have CD Ripping/Burning in Winamp?
No. In the installer, under Audio File Support you can uncheck what you don't want.
Why do I have to pay for MP3 encoding when it uses LAME which is free and open source?
Even though LAME is open source, Nullsoft has to pay per copy to Thompson for a licence to encode MP3. Thompson only offer MP3 encoding licences on a per-copy basis, so unfortunatly it has to be only included in the Pro version.
I paid for the shareware version of Winamp a while back before it went free, why do I have to pay again?
Because this is Winamp Pro. If you paid for the Winamp shareware you can still use Winamp, there is no pressure to upgrade.
Remember, it costs Nullsoft for every single Winamp Pro licence. If Nullsoft could do Winamp Pro for free, they would.
Winamp 2.92 and Winamp 2.95 had free, full speed CD Ripping, what gives?
They were leaked versions never intended for public consumption. This is the reason that they were illegal leaks.

i'll stick with winamp2 and itunes. there's no reason for me to move to 5.

ive been a fan of winamp for a while now.i was kinda scared of this one, after 3,(which i used, if only grudgingly). i picked it up off a torrent and hadnt installed yet. was gonna wait.....easd on over here, saw this thread and you wonderful people put me on the right path. I like it. It most definately kicks the llama's ass.
all numbers are infinite, there is no difference.
I won't bother cracking it... I like 2.x and I'll be sticking with it.
Oh and to the people about to bitch about them going 'pro' all I can say is go code your own mp3 player or shut the fuck up. Cuz Nullsoft has given out a great proggie for free for awhile now and going pro to cover a few costs isn't a big deal. If you don't want the features go elsewhere! I mean who is really gonna rip with winamp? lmfao I'll stick to EAC....

And the pro version is optional, you can still get a free winamp5 :)
