Winamp v3.0 Alpha 666.....

Disturbed · May 23rd, 2001

good, bad, or just stick to 2.75...

hankhoser · May 23rd, 2001

i use 2.75 mainly because i have lots of plugins that i have used since 2.xx came out and they apparently wont be compatible with 3.xx.

Disturbed · May 23rd, 2001

screw plugins, is it good or not...

hankhoser · May 23rd, 2001

i wont try 3.xx until the final release version - then i'll know.

Same I won't try a program which on beta version...........

1) It's alpha, not beta.
2) It's quite usable, and decently stable, but it lacks implemented features, as it is a complete rewrite.
3) Best to stick with 2.xx if you want ID3 editing and such, should try WA3 when it hits the high-alphas, or beta...

When in the NON alpha version coming?

May 23rd, 2001

If I had to guess, ~3 months before it hits beta...

Disturbed · May 23rd, 2001

hmm, i don't take any chances so i'll stick to the 2.xx

**SimonMallion** · May 23rd, 2001

Mmm... I running a beta BIOS (PC), beta graphics card drivers, beta DVD player firmware on an overclocked machine. Oh dear!

alpha != beta

Stop forgetting that.

It plays MP3s fairly well, but in its current state the playlist is simply horrible. Of course, given that it's just an alpha version I suppose that's to be expected. This version's launch speed seems to be quite a bit greater, I've noticed.

As a number of people on the DeviantArt comment board have pointed out, you have to wonder just what reason there is for 3.x to even exist, as the 2.x series provides just about any capability you'd like for MP3 playback and functions it doesn't provide can be provided by plugins.
