Winamp 5's name

CamD · 5th December 2003, 23:08

I know that Winamp 5 is in late beta stages, but IMO if Winamp3 is going to be renamed to Wasabi Player and is going to be unsupported by Nullsoft (plus the fact that Winamp 5 is an upgrade of Winamp 2), it would only make sence for it to be named Winamp v3.0. The logical precessor to Winamp 2 is Winamp 3 (with Wasabi Player as a seperate, unsupported app).

I know that this may be confusing for newbies who have heard of Winamp3 and think Winamp 3 is the same thing, but as long as Winamp.com briefly explains it on the download page, etc. Everything should make perfect sence to everybody from then on.

2 + WP != 5
(Winamp 2 plus Wasabi Player doesn't equal Winamp 5)

What do you think?
