201113 2003-12-16 21:33:00 Wouldn't quite say i love the song but i do think they managed to choose the worthy winner for there little idol thingy .

Video is redicules though,he doesn't suit the "pretty" look they have attempted to give him .

I hear he's going to tattoo his head and join a Motorhead tribute band .

201115 2003-12-16 23:13:00 Just checked it out. Yes it does! Archibald (180)
201116 2003-12-16 23:40:00 I might just get this, but only if it has a similar loading time to winamp 2. If it takes as long as 3 to load, I will keep my 2 thank you very much. Wilky (776)
201117 2003-12-17 11:04:00 Well, I tried it. Didn't like it at all. Even installing only the capabilities of Winamp3 uses far more space.

As far as I could tell, Winamp5 started slightly faster than 3, but I'm still going to stick with 3. Perhaps I'll try v2.9 with the Default skin from 3...

201118 2003-12-17 11:40:00 I'm using WA5 now and honestly don't notice much difference between WA3 (probably due to the same skins)

They skipped version four because WA2 + WA3 = WA5!

Best of both worlds!

201119 2003-12-17 11:49:00 Well, I went and found 2.95. Downloaded it, and tried the Default skin from 3.

Still, despite the noticeably faster start, I didn't like 2.95. IMO, the settings were too remniscent of those in 5. I don't want settings for the Media Library, nor for extracting files off CDs (which I don't want to do). Neither do I like the buffer settings in 5 (I prefer the ones in 3).

It looks like the majority of users preferred 2.x features/settings, etc, and so Nullsoft used more of those in v5. Perhaps 3 was a transitional testing stage?

WA3 was used to show WASABI, the programming library for making cool skins (and plugins IIRC). It was used fully to show its power and what it can be achieved, hence it was a bit slow

201121 2003-12-17 11:56:00 What's more ridiculous about the video is the cameramen wearing black sunglasses.

I mean please, cameraman need to see clarity and detail. Sometimes they even need to have their face right up against the camera (not necessarily the one in the video, though), not just sitting around crooning to each other wearing sunglasses and pretending to know a bean about being a cameraman.

I think the song is one of those ones that grows on you... I thought it was absolute rubbish when I first heard it, now I just think it's rubbish :D
