Winamp3 3.0 Final ( Build #488 ) has been unleashed to the masses.
After 3 years of coding and development, the team at Nullsoft is proud to present a "final" release canidate of Winamp3 taking the application out of "beta" and into a full production release.
For those in the San Fran. area, the crew at Nullsoft are gonna be tossing back a few to celebrate the release tonight, full details are provided in the article at Winamp.com (along with a permission slip for your parents to sign so you can attend ;) heh).
Go get yourself Winamp3 now kiddies!
Update: If you haven't check out winamp.com in a while, I highly suggest you peep the new layout and color scheme of the site ;) So fresh and so clean.

What was that about ensuring spell checking so you get a good shot at making the front page 
WinAMP's always been my favorite player, I will admit freely. Here's where Cryxan comes and yells about Sonqiue any minute too  |

YAAAAAAAAAAA! Winamp is my favorite too - If you don't have the new milkdrop plugin get that while you're there because it's the best out there.

Upon first look, the 3.0 version doesn't seem to have a lot of the functionality of the previous versions.
Most notably, support for I/O plugins (such as disk writer) was lacking from the preferences menu...maybe its living somewhere else...
I quickly reinstalled 2.8lite.
I fear that (rationaly?) the trend in media software torwards more DRM/less user control has begun...

ooooooooohhh!!! So that is the beta version of winamp 3 that I'm using 
Damn, I thought that was the final version of it too dag nabbit... hopefully some of the flaws dealing with wma files will be dealt with in this official release  |

hmm.... it never got optimized. it's still takes about 2-3 seconds to load, compared to .0005sec with 2.80
i really timed it
ok not really... but i just rather stick with 2.80 until it matches the speed and memory usage. |

wow great thing, but i think i will work with 2.8, because its faster than the 3.0

ok, i'll ask: what's the milkdrop plugin do? i really enjoy my Nomad II MG plug-in - i can use WinAmp playlists to load files on my mp3 player instead of using Creative's Crapware to do it.. yay! |

hahahaha!!! FOOLS!!! try quintessential, it's good, just try it, believe me, dont close it, just minimize it to your tray, it doesn't take up processor usage while it's minimizeded, it takes a while to load for the first time, but hey, who can mess with near perfection, just try it, search at download.com, when i'm feeling up to it, i might provide a direct link!

I don't like version 3 that much. It's slower then 2.80 and I have a feeling it is also more bloated. Also som features are missing. It's 2.80 that I will use untill they improve Winamp3.

if Quintessential is a media player, and it's playing, it has to take processor cycles, regardless of whehter it's minized or not. I'll scope it out though.
Still haven't gotten v3 yet, but then I haven't had time in three days to even listen to music, dammit

P2P is wrong. It's piracy and that is stealing. No matter how much you want to deny it.

JimsMyName, I have explained my point to people like you in so many threads already, my fingers are about to bleed, so in short, you are an asshole.
