402977 2005-11-09 06:22:00 Which version of Winamp is the best? Is it the latest 5.11 or as some people have told me 2.95? I want something that can still do all the things, but doesn't cripple my old computer like Windows Media Player 10 does. Cheers :) zahmad (8963)
402978 2005-11-09 06:26:00 Some people who have had probs with Winamp, say 2.9 is better.

5.11 + is good, if you have an Ipod. As it supports the Ipod plugin. Which lets u transfer from an Ipod to the hdd, and vice versa.

It's up to 5.111 atm.

Doesn't matter what media player you run, your system doesn't have enough resorces to even run XP let alone have anything spare to run apps.

402981 2005-11-09 07:21:00 I remember a discussion on slashdot (late last year I think) where it was determined that winamp 5 in classic mode was the least resource intensive media player for windows. Even foobar took up more RAM than winamp. Greven (91)
402982 2005-11-09 07:23:00 What are the specs on this old computer? My friend was using winamp 2.9 for ages on a pII with 64mb of RAM under win2k no problems. Greven (91)

402984 2005-11-09 11:38:00 Winamp 5 is very cool. I like it a lot better than WMP because you can get a plugin to do pretty much anything, and its not so cluttered. Plus the media library is quite cool, I'm not so sure if 2.9 has it; It is incredibly handy if you have a large music collection. DangerousDave (697)
