    Media player classic and programs like winamp/foobar are in a whole other class.

    Sorry Winamp... I'm switching to Media Player Classic with Quicktime Alternative: http://www.free-codecs.c...ickTime_Alternative.htm

    Thanks for the memories and continued success to the developers!!!

    Tried 3.x..sucked! Tried 5.x...not bad, but more than I want. I just want something easy and cool to listen to mp3's. But, I don't use 2.91, I use 2.81, last "good" 2.x version. After 2.81, if you are running WinAmp, and run any program that changes screen resolutions (games, etc), when you exit back to your desktop, WinAmp is in the middle of your screen, it won't stay docked where you left it. This is a bug from 2.82 to 5.02. So, pick your favorite plugins, and run 'em in 2.81.

    WHY DO THEY HAVE TO SCREW UP EVERYTHING! Now they are dragging the winamp 2.x series into the muck where the 3.x series already is! The same thing happened with ACDSee 2.x was great, 3.x started getting bloated and 4.x/5.x were just jokes, trying to be photoshop just like winamp is trying to be windows media player. I guess 2.81 will be the best version of winamp ever made, may it live forever!

    Still the best MP3 player mostly for the wide range of plugins. I don't understand the previous comment about Winamp 3 being "digital" or whatever Winamp 3 doesn't really function any differently than v.2 (it's not like Winamp 2 is analog), and the MPEG decoders are probably nearly identical so I don't know why Winamp 3 would sound better (possibly better EQ?). What you should be using anyway is MAD MPEG decoder (in_mad.dll) for winamp and Naoki's super EQ.
