tonyc carpal tunnel Registered: 27/06/1999 Posts: 7058 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Well, so far it's ruined my ability to play video files in Winamp, crashes every time it tries. Reverting back to 2.91 hasn't fixed it, either. It probably registered some "new and improved" version of a shared library or something. Argh. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	I think I'll be sticking with 2.x for the moment. On my PII300 Winamp 5.0 consumes 80% of CPU just playing back MP3s. It doesn't really seem to add any new features that I need either. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	How do you get winamp 2 back? it appears to have eaten it and the old classic.winamp.com doesn't work any more. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

Ezekiel pooh-bah Registered: 25/08/2000 Posts: 2413 Loc: NH USA	80%? Huh. I've got a PIII600 and it was running about 3% to 5% playing .mp3's. The only new feature I care about is the improved library. If you don't need that, I'd say yeah, stick with 2.x . -Zeke _________________________ WWFSMD?

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	Ah yes. I think I have worked out what is wrong. I was playing with Shoutcast a while back in Winamp 2.0, it looks like Winamp 5.0 has decided to run Shoutcast somewhere in the background. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31596 Loc: Seattle, WA	and the old classic.winamp.com doesn't work any more. Yikes! Hope that's not on purpose. In the meantime, www.oldversion.com has it. _________________________ Tony Fabris

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	Screw winamp 5, I'm going to start using 0.20 instead! Much simpler and definitely not as CPU intensive. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

tonyc carpal tunnel Registered: 27/06/1999 Posts: 7058 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Dude, don't laugh, when WinAMP 0.20 first came out we were all using MuseARC or WinPlay3. WinAMP 0.20 was like a godsend! _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3996 Loc: Manchester UK	The first version of winamp I had was around the 1.00 mark. I think the first mp3 I had was Pinball Wizard by the Who. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M
