Reasons why I prefer Winamp 2.80

[steak]

Seriously though, Winamp 3 is the future. Under the hood it has been revamped, changed, made better etc. There are so many advantages to using winamp3 over winamp2, and there will be even more as time goes on.

And you really can’t complain about the fact that winamp3 is made for newer computers. When you had a computer that could run doom fine were you pissed off that quake2 ran choppy? No because it was a new game for new machines, complaining to id would have done nothing, they would have told you to get a new system. That’s what’s happening here, winamp3 will never run on a 133mhz cpu, nobody ever said it would, it’s not made to. However Winamp2 will, and will continue to do so forever. Just use that, especially since you seem to like it a lot more.

Nobody is telling you to stop using winamp2. It’s still there; you can download it and if you like it better then use it. But give winamp3 a chance; it shouldn’t have been released as a ‘final’ but that’s AOL’s fault not nullsoft’s, don’t complain to them.

Winamp3, when finished will have all the stuff that winamp2 had and more. And if you don’t want any single (or multiple) part of it, we all know how to delete .WAC files don’t we?

If you have any further queries about winamp3 then don’t hesitate to get in contact with me.

^^ what he said

Also, Scorchio, first of all; Winamp is free. Second of all, your whole "release it now fix it later" is because of two things, first being that AOL has deadlines for WA3 release dates; and second is people like us begging for releases of the latest and greatest because we're itching to play with our new toys.

We get them and complain because it hasn't got a particular feature, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth

It takes a few seconds to load on my system as well, and that is a Athlon 1.4. Sometimes I just want to listen to a few seconds of my mp3s so the load time does get annoying. Winamp 2.81 is bootylicious for me atm. Just my two cents.

[-SCORCHIO-]

may i ask why aol was chosen? (just out of curiosity)

[thepyr0x]

cuz AOL owns nullsoft
nullsoft makes winamp
therefore winamp must conform to AOL's deadlines

[-SCORCHIO-]

ah! man i hate aol, lol

Looks like the Junior members make more sense in this discussion board.

I guess some just like to hear themselves talk about a good looking program, instead of hearing the music. MTV has that down.

Thanks -SCORCHIO-

At least there is one person that knows how music should be!

The Senior members have their heads up too far up their @$$ to notice the big picture.

now didn't Nemessis tell you to play nice?

Nobody asked you to like WA3, nobody said that WA3 was better than WA2 and nobody cares whether you use 2 or 3. Get over it.

Scorchio; When you complain about speed, it's unfinished goddamnit! of course it isn't gonna be optimized to run like a dream. When you say that the good looking skins take forever to load and then say that a music player isn't about looks; that's a completely hypocritical argument. When you can load it without the pretty things and not have to change skins and wait to get the unpretty version of the program that you so desperatley desire, why complain about the pretty stuff? Also, I like all in one programs, I don't like to fill my comp up with 80 million programs - one for each format - that just gets annoying and redundant. Having to wait for each to load, try and remember where everything is saved, etc; it's just easier to all be in WA3 with movies in one playlist, music in another, etc. However, that's just my opinion and I in no way care whether you like to use multiple programs of not; there is a delete option for the video .wac if you don't want it. WA3 is easier to program for; and thus can (and will) be made easier to use.

Go watch TV, i'm sure there is a good Spice Girls video on, that you can jack off to!

I feel welcome, and will stay here forever now!

Thanks to you "Senior Member" LOL, what a dumb @$$!

Looks like I hit the spot directly. What was it, Teeny boppers or the fact you have no respect for others?

If you can't take being told off, stop making ignorant remarks. Just a friendly reminder why discussion boards exist!

Go back to listen to NStink!

P.S. Why the need for swearing. If you can't come back with something intelligent, you SHOULD be watching TV.

Merry Christmas

Is it just me, or do these two post look a like? I think someone has some issues with "Teeny boppers". Prehaps you would like to share?

Great Generlization there with the Nstick comment to very nice.. considering how the majority of my music is made up of mostly industrial and underground stuff.

Bottem line, your remarks are worthless and rants on nullsoft are too. I think nullsoft is doing a great job, and working hard on a program that's being pushed to tough deadlines by a company that has no real idea of what they are doing (refering to AOL). Spare everyone your gripes and complaints because in a while after things are cleaned up with winamp 3 you will be enjoying the hard FREE work of someone else.. and you will also be prasing it left and right.

Contacting you would be pointless. You should contact AOL and let them know the software you love is not being presented in a complementary way. When Wimamp 3 is ready, then post it. Until then stop showing us something that has only potential of being great. 2.80 is already great. They should be aware that this affects their image. If AOL owns it, then they should put their name on it. What a lame excuse.

If I wanted to use beta software i'd be using Linux!!!

AOL, what a company, the only company I know to release software that would require to reinstall your operating system after installing it. Let's all trust them in releasing software that has potential. Nullsoft or A$$hOLe, what's the difference at this point. They already have brainwashed a lot of americans with their ISP, not me brother!

Is that's the american way? As long as it looks good, no one questions what it can actually do!!!! Best example : MTV!!!

You can't try to tell me you think AOL is the only software company that does this. Every company does. Have you ever bought a new game to find out that it's buggy as hell and the week after you bought it it had a patch on their websites? Executives like to please their superiors, and it looks much better on them to have a game out on time (buggy), then to have a game delayed for debugging and have to explain that. Looks better on paper with release dates, and it looks better on the Executives' resumes. That's life

I was only trying to make him realize that discussion boards are made to make contructive critisism. Why bother having it if you will not hear our cries of dispair. The simple fact that i took the time to send my comments should tell you that i care what happens to Winamp. For sure, I would like to see a better and cooler Winamp, but only when it's ready. Make the music work then improve the skins/visual later. The interface is not easy to use, so i should take a course from that idiot!!!! I called him an idiot BECAUSE OF THE WAY he answered someone that was trying to use it. Is that a crime? what a sour puss!!!!

because we all know how valuable your time is and we appreciate your constructive criticism, it really helps us to improve the program.

[NoBullRadio]

When I downloaded Winamp 3, it took forever to load. My computer is only 1 year old and I have 256MB of memory so that isn't it. I love how 2.86 just loads up and starts playing.

Oh boy, this post is laced with gold! Where to begin "Brother".

Well first off, if winamp 2 is great then stick with it.. no one said you had to ever use winamp 3. Infact no one said you had to use it, and then come complaining. AOL has little to do with the development of winamp, they just request when it needs to be done by that is all. If they push them to get it done to quickly then you have to understand that.

Next thought,
Last time I checked linux wasnt in beta, inless you downloaded a beta kernal and decided to run that (no, not a popcorn kernel.. a kernel is like the core of the opperating system. I figured you wouldnt know this so i'd make you aware in advanced). I'd also love it if you come out and say that you have installed linux, couldnt get it to work then went on to complain about your free software to many linux newsgroups only to have your name banned from each and every one of them.

Final Thought.. I sound like jerry springer.

I'm sorry doomer, I've invaded your personal "intelligent" space with my obvious idiocy. This is why I never post in any of the other forums nor do I ever give in any bug reports or suggestions on how to improve the program.

That's right, Jerry Springer, again the american way!!! All fluff no substance!!!

Ok, you are actually knowlegeable about software.: you must be a programmer, and that is not quite a compliment. Beta means in testing phases,,, If Linux was not still in testing phase do you really think they would give it away. Not calling it that, is a shame. Why bother again with something that has potential. When is it going to be on a PC, that people buy? And acutally work with all that Windows already does. Programmers, are so sensitive!!! I should have put on white gloves to tell you the software is experimental at best. That's right i did try it and if I can't use it with pleasure with waste time. It is not quite ready to use in my case. Why bother when I already have something that works. That sounds like a broken record, but the majority of the people seem to agree with me about Linux, i just hope they will not start thinking that about Winamp.

Why can't you guys get the point, I like Winamp, when it works fine. Until then it should be on your PC,not mine.

If no one complains, how will you know what's wrong with it. We are not all programmers.

Make the interface similar but not completely different(Playlist). I have over 10,000 mp3s i need something that can load while i still have the taste for music.

I would like to know how old you are. I have been using computers since DOS 3.3. Windows to me is something i know. Programming is not! What do I need to be a programmer to know of to use Windows? That is a laugh. I am Support professional and when i speak to programmers, they always come on thinking they know the problem when they cannot even explain it properly. And then become very sensitive when you tell them that the problem was between the keyboard and the chair.

I'm proud to be a programmer, thanks. Beta means its in testing phase.. YOU DONT SAY!!!!!! Winamp2 isnt in beta, yet they give it away. I take it you find the concept of free software hard. I'm guessing you would call something like Red Hat 6.1 in beta correct? It is already on a PC you can buy. Not only can you buy servers preloaded with it, but walmart also sells lindows pc's for about $200 bucks my uninformed one. Programmers are so snsitive? I think its because people like you lack respect for them. After all, if it wasnt for programers you wouldnt be using a computer right now. Also it fills my heart with joy that you couldnt even run a install of linux correct. Sorry that things must be watered down and babied up for you, please stick with windows the linux community is much better off without you. Acctually, I doubt you have any idea what the "Majority" of the people feel about linux. Also with your comment about when will it work with what windows does? Why not ask yourself, when will windows work with what linux does? They are diffrent opperating systems. The only and ONLY advatange windows has over linux is that the game community has grown to support it, and switching over to linux would throw them back many years. So in order for that to happen linux must work extra hard to provide support for games.

Glad to hear your not a programmer, although your wrong about it having to be one to run linux. Which is totaly wrong, or you just dont know where to get a good distribution of linux. I'd recommend going to the store to pick up the latest version of mandrake. Its a farely easy version of linux to use.

"Make the interface similar but not completely different(Playlist). I have over 10,000 mp3s i need something that can load while i still have the taste for music."

Great, I have a wonderfull recommendation of software for you to use. Its a program called winamp 2.8. Please use it till nullsoft has fixed issues with winamp 3. Or dont use it, the choice is up to you.

Hmm, I was right about 2 things. 1. You are a programmer. 2. You are sensitive.

Ok, then why is Linux not already on more computers. People have made a choice. I understand what Linux is better fpr most things. The fact that it is mostly on servers right now should tell you why it's not on other machines yet. Remember Windows NT, it was great but no one was using it. When they released Windows 2000, more people started using it because they could install it themselves. I am right now serioulsy thinking of installing Mandrake Linux. You know your stuff!!! For sure it's the best, thanks for confirming that to me(this is a real compliment). As for normal pcs having Linux well, one company is barely a majority, therefore i am still right about the majority of people. Do you know the difference between VHS and Beta? Which was best? Which survived? I don't put down what is good. I just know what to say to get you to answer to this stupid thread. I thought you'd get it by now. But NO!!!! Programmers like to continue changing things to glorify themselves, when all we want is to use something that will work out of the box. Stop putting jam on the jam, Winamp is a music program, stick to what you do best, like Unix did.

Now tell me that was not a good answer.

cybaix there is not point flaming this guy just because he flames u...let it bet.

X-boomer i dun know ur auguement abt linux and winamp. Winamp3 is winamp3 it is can be a media player or it could just be a simple music player. coz it is modular and is supports whatever u want it to do. Some ppl want big media players some wants small media players. If u dun like it dun use it coz winamp2 would always be there eventhought we have new Pentium 10 233GHz processors.

It's a good thing that i am not a programmer because i would not know any better. Programmers seem to like themselves better than anybody else.

I might add that ditch digging is also an essential part of life, otherwise, who would dig the holes you need to put the wires that run everything, unless you programmers have another solution to run everything without wires. There is something like that out there but they don't put it out yet because it's still in experimental phase ;-)

I'd rather be digging a ditch than discussing with programmers about their work, if you can call that work. The day you start programming something with Unix i will take serisouly, there are too many of you already, that is why the software has to be beta tested by us the consumers cuz you guys can't get it right in the first place.

Still here.. not kicked out yet..

Must be the software that's not working again.

What do you need help to get it to work? Maybe you'll need me to help you make this work at all?

X-boomer i dun know ur auguement abt linux and winamp. Winamp3 is winamp3 it is can be a media player or it could just be a simple music player. coz it is modular and is supports whatever u want it to do. Some ppl want big media players some wants small media players. If u dun like it dun use it coz winamp2 would always be there eventhought we have new Pentium 10 233GHz processors.

Finally someone that might have an idea of what i am trying to prove.

That needed some independant thinking, you're on the right track!!

My point is that : I wanted to say is that the original idiot cybaix, was putting down someone for making a comment about the newer version of Winamp, (this thread is called " Reason why I prefer Winamp 2.80), but he could not apologize to save his own life!!! I could not let that go by!!! Call me human! I am guilty of that! The rest they brought down on themselves.

Why was his intelligence so above the mere mortal that wanted to make a comment or even a complaint about it. Isn't that why there are discussion boards? If am wrong tell me, I will bow down to that!!!

Hmm, I was right about 2 things. 1. You are a programmer. 2. You are sensitive.

Ok, then why is Linux not already on more computers. People have made a choice. I understand what Linux is better fpr most things. The fact that it is mostly on servers right now should tell you why it's not on other machines yet. Remember Windows NT, it was great but no one was using it. When they released Windows 2000, more people started using it because they could install it themselves. I am right now serioulsy thinking of installing Mandrake Linux. You know your stuff!!! For sure it's the best, thanks for confirming that to me(this is a real compliment). As for normal pcs having Linux well, one company is barely a majority, therefore i am still right about the majority of people. Do you know the difference between VHS and Beta? Which was best? Which survived? I don't put down what is good. I just know what to say to get you to answer to this stupid thread. I thought you'd get it by now. But NO!!!! Programmers like to continue changing things to glorify themselves, when all we want is to use something that will work out of the box. Stop putting jam on the jam, Winamp is a music program, stick to what you do best, like Unix did.

Now tell me that was not a good answer.

"Hmm, I was right about 2 things. 1. You are a programmer. 2. You are sensitive."

Sensitive, no.. willingness to give greater understanding to less informed people, yes.

"Ok, then why is Linux not already on more computers. People have made a choice. I understand what Linux is better fpr most things.

When they released Windows 2000, more people started using it because they could install it themselves."

Linux is growing, i would expect it to be on more computers. Saves people money who just want to browse the internet and check their email etc. Its wonderfull for servers, mainly because of its speed and the fact that you dont have to reboot it every week because of memory leaks. Last time I checked the windows nt install is pretty much the same as the 2000 install. Its not that hard at all. The reason why no one used windows nt at home was because most home applications and games didnt support it. Windows 2000 was a gap between windows 98 and windows nt. It had the support of windows 98, but the stability and functionality of windwos nt (which is still inferior to linux).

"I am right now serioulsy thinking of installing Mandrake Linux. You know your stuff!!! For sure it's the best, thanks for confirming that to me(this is a real compliment)."

Your welcome. However, pretty much all linux distributions are fairly easy to install and get running. Mandrake just provides more easy to use configuration tools and has a more windowish look.

"As for normal pcs having Linux well, one company is barely a majority, therefore i am still right about the majority of people."

No, your not right. The majority of people dont even know about linux, or even unix for that matter.

"I just know what to say to get you to answer to this stupid thread. I thought you'd get it by now. But NO!!!!"

Ever consider that I could possibly be doing the same to you? I mean after all, you as well are also still replying to this same "stupid thread". Which on top of that, your statement is a great joke as how you were earlier telling me

"I was only trying to make him realize that discussion boards are made to make contructive critisism. Why bother having it if you will not hear our cries of dispair."

Its a discussion board isnt it? And im only giving you contrsuctive critisim on how to fix your ignorance (which yes, is an exercise in futility but the laugher is worth it).

"Programmers like to continue changing things to glorify themselves, when all we want is to use something that will work out of the box."

Oh, yes nullsoft is changing winamp to glorify themselfs.

"Stop putting jam on the jam, Winamp is a music program, stick to what you do best, like Unix did."

And you stick to what you do best as well, helping people fix their email or walking them through how to clear their internet chache before their wife wakes up and finds it full of porn.

"Now tell me that was not a good answer."

That was not a good answer.

Oh my god, how bout you write a 20,000 word paper and then make sure EVERY line is correct without using the spell checker?

You speak of ignorance when it comes to programing, you do not know what it takes for program development. If you call visual basic "programing development" then you have an awful lot to learn.

No, there is no point in flaming him.. but its a way to kill a boring hour with humor.

However if the community feels to express that it is becoming annoying I shall stop it then.

What an idiot, the guy has a plenty good computer to run a music program. I did the same thing!!! I think the problem is guys like you! They want something that looks better than it actually works. I have a P3 1ghz with 512 ram and a kickass soundcard, and to tell you the thruth Winamp 3 is not an improvement. It looks better, granted, but i thought that a music program was supposed to be about playing music. The new version is a pain. I used to complain about Sonique cuz the navigation was poor, well Winamp has managed to go backwards to give you the opportunity to make music look better. What a crock of s**t! Stick to what music is supposed to be; heard. Go watch MTV if you want your music to look good. I am sure you like the Teeny bopper music and their happy-go-lucky videos. If you want something to watch, just turn on your TV and connect it to your stereo. There's something to watch. Now go back to computing fool!

Thats funny, seems like you started flaming someone that was only trying to help out first.

And on top of that, sickle (the person you refer to) isnt even responding. Could it be that he doesnt feel he was flammed?

Now answer me, did you read the first half of the thread or was it your evil twin?

Ignorance is bliss, and you must be in heaven.
