hi guys,
i was wondering if there is a plug-in or any trick to show a notifier ( like the one in 5.xx ) on the classic winamp 2.xx.. as i use both, 2.xx to play my songs and 5.xx to watch some shows :)
many thanks in advance

For classic skins (or other modern skins that don’t have the notifications) there are notification/bubble alternative plug-ins…

However, I don't understand why you still need the old buggy 2.x
Winamp 5.x is just Winamp 2.x continued/updated/improved.
Why not just use the classic skin in 5.x, seeing as it's the exact same built-in base skin as it was in 2.9x...?

i know about Toaster and NxS Ballon tip ( as i searched before i asked ) but i was searching for a 2.xx plugin

@Dj Egg, I really don't find 2.xx buggy, and i think it launches faster than the 5.xx series + takes less ram ( not sure about this one though ).. what do you think?

Concerned about upgrading from 2.x to 5.x?

Got a question for winamp 5.xx anyways, it's displaying a tooltip for each Song in my playlist, how can i disable that ( using classic skin )

That's probably the plugin 'Tips', included with the Toaster plugin. You can disable it by opening Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Tips > uncheck 'Enabled'. You can also uninstall it if you want:
Prefs > General Purpose > select 'Tips v0.4' > click 'Uninstall selected plug-in' button
