I'd never thought i'd ever see anything be better than winamp. I dont want to get deep. But it's so much easier to use than winamp.

Features thet blew me away:
When you click "Download more skins" it downloads a whole database and lets you preview what every skin looks like. It's like a kazaa or napster for skins. So you don't need open IE and search for skins.

When you load a playlist, you can close the playlist editor and right click on the "Artist/title" (now playing? thingy) and a "QuickTrack" menu appears that has you entire playlist sorted by the artists' name. The quicktrack menu is like the Start menu. But instead of "Games" "Programs" and "Accessories", you'll see "50 cent" "Christina Aguilera" ect ect.

Eye candy. There's eye candy while the song's playin, during transition, during crossfade, ect, ect. And the visuals interact with the mouse pointer.

Thousand of features built into the player. ie crossfade, gap slicer

First Download/Install the skin.

Then click on Skins in the left pane and choose from the installed skins.

I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but the reason that Ill probably end up staying with winamp 2.x forever is not because of the software itself, nor the skins or vis's or anything from nullsoft specifically, its the fact that people have written pluggins for ANYTHING for winamp, which I make use of in the car. I dont know of another player that has the giant plugin library that winamp does.
