Oo suppose to be an upgrade from the 2.91 winamp with features of winamp 3 but less of a mem hog! WOOT!

has any one got it yet?

yes I have it

it uses around 2.5 megs more memory for playing mp3's and mpegs.

Well I found it (thx google!)

All I can see that different is:
Built in CD ripper
better support for diff lang.
FreeForm skin

thats all as far as I can tell

I got it earlier today...

Let me just say that it is amazing. All the wild and amazing claims are true. So far even the alpha release has been rock stable (although i have heard there have been problems) and it works with Winamp 3 skins. I love that it has the Winamp 2 style playlist. If you haven't yet, check it out.

Loads faster than winamp3 which is definite plus. I get a few errors when trying to load a modded Arbys skin and some virtual function error when exiting.

Has anyone got Arby's skin working on it yet?

If I can get it working, I think I will switch over in my carpc. The quick start time is worth the few bugs.
