[is0lized]

[Akalon]

I tried it out, I prefer 2.8x

[biggulp]

there are not many plugins yet.

[Jan]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it If you know it has bugs, wait till they get it right.

i still use winamp2 its way better than winamp3 anyday

[Bruce]

One word: LAG

2.8x for me

[Ben]

Winamp3 is very slow and buggy. I use 2.8x as well; besides HLamp only works with 2.8x unless you download all kinds of third-party Winamp3 add-on crap.

Winamp3 is a buggy and resource-hungry program, so much it makes Windows Media Player looks very good. I should've keep a 2.x installer in my HDD

not recommended
always crashes my computer (studio.exe) and stalls it.
sometimes i can close it and it's still playing my playlists (it's not running under ctrl->alt-->del)

I prefer winamp 2.8 too. Winamp 3 has some nice skins (very nice ) but it runs very laggy and slow on my pc. 2.8 runs fine with no problems so i'll stick with 2.8

[murat]

winamp 2 is better

[notnamed]

Winamp3 is slow, buggy, and confusing. The splash screen is nice looking...it has to be, you look at it for fully a minute before you can listen to anything. I go further than saying it makes WMP look good...it makes RealOne look good.

Winamp 2 ----ed up my sound drivers and then I used winamp3 and it doesn't screw up.

And Winamp3 0-5% CPU resources and 12mb RAM. Doesn't bother me since I got 512MB.

i like listiening to internet radio when playing ut 2k3, when i tryed this with winamp3 it lagged horribly, so i delted and went back to wmp 2 and everything has been good every since

It depends. On MY computer I don't like it at all, it takes up far too much of my system resources. On my Dad's gaming box (1600+ Athlon + 512mb ddr ram) it runs like a dream, I even play GTA3 whilst listening to CDs through it without jumps!
