12/17 I'm a die-hard Winamp 2.x user from way back. Has anyone used Winamp 5
and if so, how does its speed and UI compare vs Winamp 2.x ?
\_ you can make the UI pretty much the same as 2.x by using the classic
skin. i dunno, it might be slower a bit, but not by much, and more
features usually do that to a piece of software anyway. otoh, i like
that it has builtin ogg support finally, so i'm sticking with it.
\_ A couple of people have mentioned it's a resource hog, especially
for CPU cycles. I figure stick with what works (2.91).
\_ I was sticking w/ W2 without realizing that a lot of people were
doing the same thing. I really like W5 so far-- it's got j<search
string> functionality, which I was *really* missing. I like the new
UI, seems fast to me.
\_ Addendum: there's still no intelligent guessing of metadata in
here. How hard can it be to let me specify a few common filename
formats to guess with? "artist - track"; "artist" - "album" -
"track" "artist/album/track" would take care of at least 75% of
the misnamed files.
\_ Thank you, motdformatd |
