Winamp5 (working title) hopes to merge the best features of the two, as this is an alpha this version is not yet obvious but I am sure you guys will want to try it out anyway!
Nullsoft Winamp is a fast, flexible, high-fidelity music player for Windows. Winamp supports MP3, CD, Audiosoft, Audio Explosion, MOD, WAV and other audio formats, custom appearances called skins, plus audio visualization and audio effect plug-ins. additional features including free-form skins, a new decoder, built-in cross fade, and an advanced Media Library.

Just remember this is Alpha software, so use at your own risk.

    Thats the whole point, WA3 was crap but had some good new features, so they are trying to put the best of the 2 together.

    I found one that actually worked.

    I installed over winamp 2.95 and it looks and runs basically runs like 2.95.

    Here are the changes... I wonder if its a freakin fake.

    Winamp 5.0superearlyalphaness:
    * yeah

    Winamp 2.95:
    * startup with hung winamp process in background fixed (opens new instance)
    * CD ripping support in media library (with OGG Vorbis encoding support)
    * Preliminary AAC playback support added to in_mp3.dll
    * ryan fixed shuffle again
    ....

    I think they added some skin plugin, 'freeform skins'.

    I don't give a crap about how my winamp looks because it's always minimized anyway, so I don't know if it was already in 2.95.

    Possibly because its a mix of winamp 2 and 3, 2+3=5 :)
