Thread: winamp3 RC up for d/load

Take 1

Just downloaded it, looks very different to what your used to, locked up in ture style when I tried to play an mp3

Have to fiddle with it a bit more, oh well, time to reboot

Take 2

Okay take two, looks more like version 2 this time, bare the thinger, not sure whats going. Played for a few seconds till I tried to change the volume, then it crashed

Take 3

Getting there, the video playback is pretty sweet, bye bye media player, also the file manager thingie rather usefull.

Hang on it's locked up again.

Very impressed. At first i though they were trying to rip off media player, but now I realise that this is a lot better. It hasn`t crashed on me (yet), it has truly random shuffle, fully skinnable, and i really like that media selctor thing. All they need to do now, to make a plug ins work, put in a balance slider, and it would also be nice if avs and video are in the same window.

Rob: the site says if you have any previous version of winamp 3 installed you should uninstall them and then install this version. may want to try that. i dunno.

agreed......


tried winamp3, crashes quite a bit if u play with the options, but once running and setup is very, very nice.... crossfader rocks in this version tooo.....

one thing is I cant adjust the speed of the spectrum analyzer... I like a fast dropoff and 70fps updates.... oh well, im sure its comming.....

cant wait to get WA3 into the car!! yay! and a new API to learn....

Heh, your not the first one to say that... It's not my face, anyone who's heard of aphex twin will know who it is.

I`m not sure if API's have to even be learnt... I`d be be happy with a fullscreen custom skin, but even that requires a bit of programming (i think).
