Re: CHAT: Winamp versions (was Re: OT: Russian in ASCII?)

5 appears to work just like 2 (for me, identically so), which is a good
thing in my opinion, since it means that all the plug-ins and so on still
work. I don't have any idea what happened to 4 either! Maybe it just didn't
whip the llama's ass at the required level.

Just what exactly is the deal with Winamp version numbers? I know that 2
lived a long time, and then they launched the horrific embolism of a
program called 3, while continuing to maintain and update 2 (thank The
Maker). Then, with narry a 4, out comes 5, and both 2 and 3 disappear
without so much as a "How d'ye do?"

So, is 5 a follow-on from 2, or from 3, or what? I've been incredibly
unwilling to upgrade from 2 until I know whether I'm better off not
bothering.

Any opinions/advice?


Thanks,



Paul
