For those who love to use the latest software, the new Winamp version is out. For those who have already tried it out, post your opinions on the new version.

| Downloaded it a few days back, and after a bumpy install (ended up having to un-install Winamp 3.0 first to get it to work right), it's working pretty well. Nice new look and new features. I like the "opaque on focus/hover" feature," for one. Oh, and of course there's the option to pay for the Pro version, US $14.95, if you want to rip MP3's with Winamp. |

I used the beta for about 2 months and it was fine, but I reverted to the classic winamp look because the new look is too big and bulky. however, aside from that it was pretty good, a much better release than the 3.x which was plagued with bugs.

| I don't think the new interface or skin is "fat" at all really. Perhaps it is the rounded edges throwing you off. It is real easy to navigate and understand. I like some of the new features of this version. The skin color themes is a nice one, the lack of advertising, which is also good, and that you can really make it do what you want unlike other music players. |

I had no problems installing on top of my winamp 3 version. It detected I had winamp 3 installed and asked if I wanted to upgrade or install into a new directory.
I agree with most of you. I especially like the playlist manager. It really categorizes each and every one of your music files into a number of categories. Very impressive in my opinion. |

"fat" as in more resource intensive. With the classic skin, minimizing/maximizing winamp is instantaneous, but with the modern skin, it's not. |

Not sure why but the .01 seems to make a difference. 
Maybe a bug - but this computer always used to crash while loading the original.
I changed the installation folder to /Winamp5 and set it to the files which it can play.
Works fine here !  |
