As far as I know, this isn't a problem for ppl using versions older than 2.81.  (*pats copy of 2.68 burned to CD*)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Too bulky. It's got a lot of extra features I don't want or need, and the plugins I have for Winamp 2 are all that I need.

I like having free memory for multitasking. I mean, with winamp3, I couldn't use Lightwave and listen to music at the same time.

Because it sucks? ;)

Seriously, its too much of a memory hog for my tastes and its added features don't appeal to me.

I don't use WinAmp3 because it doesn't have the 'stop after current' option, and those freeform skins just scare me...

Had to check it out (hosting a memory hog is always such a disturbing idea :ick  ) ..According to Sandra:

MediaPlayer 6.4  4.9MB
Winamp 2.81      5.5MB
Winamp 3.0c      13.5MB

..not unbearable, but kind of much just to play some MP3s.

Winamp 2.68 eats up 4.8MB of RAM, and thats with a decent skin applied and playing a song.

Yea, the results i first posted weren't right (used a different song for each player). Just edited it (RAM usage on idle/maximized... Now Winamp3 really looks a bit bad in that respect..)
