Until Tuesday the only practical version of Winamp for net connected people to use was the 2.x version, and even AOL said as much. Rarely will a company take a step backwards with a product and promote the previous version of their lead product in the market. Well, that is what AOL was forced to do after Winamp 3 was a major flop, being to bloated and slow, not to mention taking every ounce of resources a computer could give it. It looks nice, but that was about all you could run on a PC, if you could at all. Well, on Tuesday the company released the much expected version 5(the reasoning behind no 4 being "Winamp 5 combines the best aspects of Winamp 2 and Winamp 3 into one player. Hence Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5!" and from the limited time with the free version, it rocks. I will, of course, review it later.

I was way thrilled to see the new Winamp. I want the full version with burning capabilities, etc. I love Winamp!oxxo
I got the full version. I haven't burned any cds with it yet, but I wanted that capability. The one thing that I really liked was that it will retrieve the internet radio AND TV stations and make them available right inside winamp instead of in a separate browser window. I hated the way WA2 and 3 handled that. Skinning and themes seem vastly improved, too.
