    Ahhhh very buggy on NT anyways, didn't get to play one full track on it. Looks like there are some nice new features but I'll be sticking with the old one for now.

    I've been running it on win2k for last couple of weeks and has been grand, odd crash when skin is doing really fancy stuff, but other than that is schweet. The Media library thing is kewl - can't wait for it all to be finished some of the skins are glorious when they're fully animated

    Eww, running it on Win98 and it hella buggy.

    Buttons dont work, different sections of the program (ie. playlist ed.) freeze for no reason, stutters... icky.

    But other than that it's great.

    I found it worked beautifully... apart from the changing of the skins... which seemed to take an age... for no real reason, really.

    I like the new skins... like the way you're not restricted to one specific layout or shape.

    er... what's happy mode, anyway? never found that...

    Did you not find that there was no keyboard shortcuts like "b" = next track, "c" = Pause. Thats a real pain:(
    Also there is no ps2mouse scroll on the playlist window.
    Also you have to open the separtate playlist window to load and m3u list wherease you could keep it all nice and neat on the original!

    Actually When I d/l it about a month ago it also screwed up my Kazaa Winamp Plugin, of which I haven;t been able to fix yet.

    I'm sure it will be good when its finally released, but until then its v.2.7x for me:)

    I like the way you can have all your playlist lined up on the right hand side so you dont have to constantly load them individualy!
