Out of curiosity, does Winamp 3 work with the Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro yet? In every version I've tried the multimeda buttons don't work, yet in 2.7whatever, they did.
Incidentally, here's my screenshot of XMMS in Linux, which I use faaaaar more :) Kinda the same as Winamp though :p
Winamp = Bloatware. :mad:
That's something you would have to check with Microsoft. The WinAMP player does not intercept key presses from your keyboard, it's the keyboard drivers which pass the press on to a program.
Download the new drivers from ms.

Why... it seems fine to me :confused:Quote:

Yeah, but your using your fancy dancy system. :D
As normal people don't want to wait 1 minute for Winamp to load to listen to a 5 sec sound file. :(
I would say Music Match is more bloatware than Winamp. But your right, Winamp is still to much compared to wmp.Quote:

Wow... does it really take that long to load on your's? It's a few seconds on mine... if that! :)Quote:

I see what your saying though.

yeah winamp loads instantly on my PC... I like it better than WMP, which I only use for video....
although winamp3 is pure junk.. ill stick to winamp2 until it doesn't play mp3s anymore ;)
Ouch... a bit below the belt M8. It's GR8. Never crashed on me so far...Quote:

The first V3 release crashed all the time, with numerous little bugs which really peeved me.... But not they seem to have resolved all the issues, and we're back to having a good all-round MP3 and MPG player.
Try it again... i bet you change your mind.

I dont even run winamp on the same computer i work at. I need to look at it about that much. As long as it plays music, ill be sticking to 2.8... 3 is just bloated.

its just the fact that there is too much overhead with it.. winamp 2 does what i want.. which is play music.. i don't need fancy skins or anything... 99% of the time it is minimized anyway...Quote:

BTW... on a side note.. i found that you can minimize wmp to its own bar in the task bar... and that you can watch video in a little pip window.. its pretty cool for when you want to watch something.. but also work on something else..
in addition to that winamp3 is bloatware, it doesn't really support any plugins
For waves and MIDIs and most other small files I still use mplay32! its small fast and has virtually no overhead whatsoever! Isn't backwards compatability great?!:DQuote:

p.s. if your wondering what Im talking about, go to 'run' in the start menu and type 'mplay32'
Haha, I remember that. Winamp2 is a good compromise between performance, functionality, and looks, in my opinion. I'll show you some of the skins I have:
First is my general usage, looks good in both shaded and non-shaded:
Secondly, I have one that just looks all around cool but doesn't have a good windowshade at all... I use it mostly in Linux on XMMS.
And finally here's one that looks good in windowshade mode and I use when I'm working...
Well, I'm running a Cel 1.1 with 256MB Ram, I dunno about you?Quote:
