what do u use ?

psycho_maniac · 23rd August 2002, 19:31

what winamp do u use? give ur reasons and dont say the other version sucks.

Atmo · 23rd August 2002, 19:38

Both...wa2 when i just wanna listen to music..wa3 when i want to use extra functions or have it look nice and pretty..

Trigear · 23rd August 2002, 19:41

i hated wa3 for the longest time because i was just too lazy to give it more than a glance over. now though, after i gave it a shot, i think it's better. it works great. the only things that bother me are:
a) i don't really like any of the custom skins out there at the moment (not very functional)

b) the playlist likes to play mindgames with me.

dashrike · 23rd August 2002, 19:45

i use winamp v2.80 just because ive been using it longer and am used to it. i probably could switch if i wanted to, but ive just never taken the time to do so.

CrowbarTK Hullo · 23rd August 2002, 19:49

winamp2.......i dont like 3 very much :\ WA2 also has a Ragnarok Online skin XD

Shenlong · 23rd August 2002, 19:54

Winamp 2. I'm just too damn used to it's interface, especially skinning. Besides, I've got a Ford_GT40 skin underway that's taking me a while to make due to trial and error, and I don't wanna put that off.

ctn|chrisw · 23rd August 2002, 21:08

I use 2.81 because the other one sux! J/k Winamp 3 wont work right nomatter what i do i get that assertion (i tink dats how u spellz it) error.

Namelessv1 · 23rd August 2002, 21:10

Both. Winamp 2 when I have alot of other programs opened, Winamp 3 when I don't.

eleet-2k2 · 23rd August 2002, 22:23

90% is Winamp 2 use, then obviously the rest is Winamp 3 use.

BeerBaron · 23rd August 2002, 22:27

i tried to stay loyal to WA3 for like a week, but after crashing 6 times a day, and unconventiality, i kinda just went back to 2.80, now using 2.81

Sorry nullsoft, it has tons of potential, but the bugs weigh it down, 3.1 will be much better

squell · 23rd August 2002, 22:28

i use 2.81 simply because i don't feel like using 3.

J_Bloggs · 23rd August 2002, 23:23

I use WA3

I like how when your playing music in WA3 and connecting to the net (dial-up modem), the music still plays good. in WA2, it repeats the last few seconds of music over and over untill it finishes signing in (press ctrl+alt+delete to get the same sort of effect)

i don't like, however, when it frezes my computer.

capitan3 · 23rd August 2002, 23:29

i use 2.80, reason being i am a broadcaster, and 3 doesn't support shoutcast "yet". I've being using 2 for a long as time hard to break a habbit

Bilbo Baggins · 23rd August 2002, 23:48

I use Windows Media Player.

I am Jesus · 24th August 2002, 03:51

I use 2.81 for my dirty work and Winamp3 after.

banjoe-john · 24th August 2002, 04:40

I use winamp 2.81 because my computer is unbearably slow.

zootm · 24th August 2002, 04:45

i use winamp3. because i can click, and be playing an album, then click, and play all my songs, then switch to another album. and it rocks.

I am Jesus · 24th August 2002, 04:47

Forgot to mention the Video playback, mmmmmmmmmm

Mr. 75MHz · 24th August 2002, 08:50

I Use Both Winamp 2.8 & Winamp 3 I Use Winamp 2.8 On My Old Computer Because It Runs Faster On The 166MHz Prossessor & I Use Winamp 3 On The New(Ish) Computer

Sandman2012 · 24th August 2002, 09:12

Winamp3

Oni-Dracula · 24th August 2002, 13:39

Winamp3 just looks plain secksy!!!

Only reason why I'd use winamp2 right now is to generate an html playlist. But thats a rarity.

Bilbo Baggins · 24th August 2002, 14:39

No, i do use Windows Media Player for everything, even listening to music.

Oni-Dracula · 24th August 2002, 15:23

Montana · 24th August 2002, 16:02

i have a crap computer so i use winamp 2.81, i like winamp3 also but it has to "have miles under under the hood" to make me use wa3 completly

spikegrrrl · 24th August 2002, 16:50

i use both...i use a skin i really like for 2.8....then I use 3.0 as well.........once i get used to 3.0 ill stop using 2.8...but i think both are SWELL

Vie · 24th August 2002, 16:53

Both, but 3 is slow on my comp.
but real good on Di's

psycho_maniac · 24th August 2002, 19:33

i guess i should of put both. that would be good. mabey a mod can edit it.

dam · 24th August 2002, 19:44

Both. I use wa2 when I have a lot of stuff open. I use wa3 the rest of the time.

Wa2. It just feels right. Works just perfectly in the background and doesn't take too much resources.

prositen · 25th August 2002, 18:09

I use 2.8, since the skins I have downloaded looks ugly with 3.x (darn bloated playlist

)

incubus*chick · 25th August 2002, 23:07

WA2. I tried 3 out once, but my computer is 6 years old and doesn't like strangers very much... I'm probably going to use it again later because some of the skins are absoultly amazing.

insomniac · 25th August 2002, 23:16

I use 2 because I like it better for some reason, but I`ll probably end up using 3.

eleet-2k2 · 26th August 2002, 01:17

Ya, I am now using Winamp 2.81.

I feel more comfortable with 2.x, but I still use Winamp 3 occasionally.
