    Okay, you probably looked at the topic and said to yourself, "Okay, what the hell? Where did Winamp 4 go?" Well, Nullsoft, being the clever little company they are, combined the best aspects of Winamp 2 and Winamp 3 to create Winamp 5. Technically, it combines the stability of Winamp 2 with the awesome skinning system of Winamp 3, and then adds even more new features into the mix. Thus, Nullsoft has created the best version of Winamp yet.

    Go to Winamp.com to download Winamp 5.

    Lmao. Look who's on the front page of the website.

    And Winamp5 rules. But I think winamp4 would've been cool because then it could be winamp 2 + 2 instead of Winamp3 + 2, because Winamp3 sucked.

    It doesn't lag like Winamp 3. It's super great. But maybe it doesn't lag because my computer rocks. :lol:. You should try it.

    Since I put Winamp 5 on my computer, it has run flawlessly.

    Winamp 2 kept crashing every time I tried to update an ID3 tag but Winamp 5 hasn't crashed once. I'm so happy.

    I haven't got it but I will do. I just went onto their site and their catchphrase rules:


    The New Winamp 5!

    So fine, we skipped a number!

    Click on any "More Info" button to find out "WHAT UP WITH DAT?"

    Winamp 5 opens really fast on my computer, even when I have a lot of stuff open.

    Omar, you can import old skins from 2, in fact, it does it automatically. Im still using my skin from 2 on 5.
