...according to Slashdot.

Xmms is better anyway :)

Actually, they're the exact same, but who's counting?

Well, I've been using 2.91 for quite a long time, so I can't say I care much. Anything put out since then is just meh.

I finally upgraded from 2.91 to the newest version (5?) yesterday. I can't say that I'm that impressed or that I notice anything different.

That's true, I still use 2.91 on Windows.  The only difference I know of in an exploit in older versions' skin handlers.

Yeah, I got tired of the security warning message box coming up so I updated. :P

I just told it to shut up.

I am sad winamp is gone  :-[. I use XMMS on linux, I didn't know it could work on windows, but I knew winamp couldnt work on linux.

I'm pretty sure XMMS has been ported.  All major opensource programs tend to be multiplatform.

I don't think so iago, I've looked for a port before with no luck.

Well, I'm using the Pro edition, I like the fact that it's so easy to burn CDs and rip CDs straight into mp3 format, aswell the burning process is alot smoother compared to Nero, on my computer anyway. The Beat visualization is something neat to look at too. :)

Xmms doesn't support NSV I think. That's the only real difference... too bad if true, lots of good stuff there. :P *shameless plug* can even see live DJ's... :P

Dunno what NSV is, but I know that Xmms can listen to Shoutcast.

xmms is not even remotely close to being better than Winamp. It's just a clone of a terribly old version with added bugs.

The terribly old versions are better than the new versions (bloating sucks).  And Winamp doesn't run well on Linux (it runs quite nicely under Wine, but that's besides the point).

Winamp 5 is much better than 2.x and Winamp 3. There are some bloating issues such as video playback and cd burning, but besides that it is definitely superior to xmms.

I like Amarok personally.

You are aware that the last person who tried that here last year almost got kicked out completely?

Ok so it is ending its run as a program, aslong as they fix all known bugs it's not a biggie.

Purdue.  I actually spent a bit of time tracking down the account running your current shoutcast server with UserLoser, but it wasn't anybody that I knew personally.  Anyways, you might want to reconsider running it from shay.

Ah, I don't run it, I just DJ for the station.. Will let them know though.
