Winamp5 is better than Winamp 2 and Winamp3. Winamp 5 is an update of Winamp2 (Winamp 2+Winamp3=Winamp5). If you want Winamp 2, download Winamp5 and don't install all the new stuff, or use Classic Skin. It will have the same CPU usage and memory footprint. For all old Winamp versions (1,2,3,and 5), visit this site.
New in 5:
Modern Skin Support
Global Hotkey Support
Signal Processor Studio
Sonic Ripping/Burning Support
AAC Encoding
MP3 Encoding (Pro only)
Cool plugins can be found here <-- 1337 SITE
Want a feature? Check the preferences first to make sure it's not there. Also look at your DirectSound preferences (Plugins> Output> DirectSound output> Configure). This applies to all plugins (especially DrO's plugins).
Winamp3 and WAC components are no longer supported. Winamp3 has become Wasabi.Player. For Winamp3 plugins, contact the component author and ask them to port it. Do NOT contact Nullsoft.
Winamp3 stuff for 5: Queueing, Sidecar (not done), Autoplay
Winamp 2.xx plugins are supported.
Winamp 2.xx skins are supported.
Winamp3 skins are supported (in theory, some are glitchy, you guessed it - author).
Winamp Pro costs money because to pay for the licensing costs of LAME MP3 encoder and the CD ripping. If you don't want it, don't buy it, and don't complain. Thank you.
Old Winamp shareware payments are no longer accepted because Winamp5 Pro is not an update of Winamp. This is the closest thing to an official reply from Nullsoft.
Winamp5 is only available for Windows systems (Linux and Macintosh not supported).
The best skin is MMD3 (more skins here, here (WA2), and here (WA3) Google Directory!).

)Maybe put "Plug-ins" in parenthesis, just to clarify it a bit.
