    It is what it's.

    2.91 had a media library, so i'd imagine 2.98 does as well (didn't even know there was a newer version of 2.xx...)

    I don't understand why anyone whinges about the media library, you can just turn it off.

    I'm still a bit unhappy with the missing up/down button on the playlist editor. On my 2500 song playlist, I can only move up or down about 50 tracks! Getting to see the next one without hitting fast forward is a pain in the arse.

    The lack of multi-playlist support is still the major failing though, I think. Too many months of using Winamp3 have made me reliant on it!

    There are far better skins than the ones already mentioned though - check out Anexa, PAD, and Zygote, to name but 3. The windowshade version of PAD kicks ass, especially if you get used to using the scaling control (press Ctrl+Right-click to get the scaling & opacity menus).

    tried using the mousewheel to scroll up/down in the playlist?

    Don't like Winamp 5 /at all/. Can't explain why, it's just.... icky.

    Think I'll be reverting to v3 with the v2 compatibility layer.

    It's the new skin in my opinion, it's horrible. Much prefer the classic Winamp2 skin, or the Winamp3 skin.

    You can't run MMD3 on it either, it goes all sticky and slow.

    I've just installed winamp v5.01 and I must say it's rather nice. The new skin is quite nice, although i have my trusty half-life skin from v.2 handy :D

    Only gripe about it is that I can't configure the spectral analyser to "thin fire-lines". The chunky bars look cack in v.2

    I'm running MMD3 on it and its fine, the one problem I had tho was when i set up the transparency and for it to fade into view from 10% on mouse in (looked cool) but then it started to crash so had to turn that feature off and its fine, uses way less memory too. Should say i'm running it in its minimized state.
