Default Winamp 5

I just had a little discussion with Zoid about the new Winamp (which I haven't tried yet).

Has anyone else here tried the new WinAmp? Is it good stuff? Worth the upgrade? :?

they've combined the best features of winamp2 and winamp3. it has built in ripping software. I've been using the beta for a while now, i like it so far.

winamp was out for longer than the others... and it's been a part of my life longer. I'll just use winamp. no need to switch or anything.

I have used the new winamp for around a week or so now. I like it :P

I've been using the beta forever and now that the official release has came out, I like it even better (I noticed they fixed a few bugs that were annoying)

really? in the last beta there was only one bug that annoyed me, and that was how sometimes in the windowshade playlist, it would still have the little picture of the bar following the mouse. oh wait that bug still remains just slightly changed.

Try dragging the bar on the track, then hitting esc or alt-tabbing out.

The bug I noticed that I see no more was where I would open my playlist file and whenever winamp opened up the playlist would just be black. You had to close the playlist window and reopen it before it would show you the songs in your playlist. Seems to run flawless now :P

Question,

I still use 2.91 because the other ones had different keys to do stuff (commands).

Can you change the keys on the new one?
