Whats the difference between Winamp 2.8, 2.9 and 3?
I used to use 3 until I changed to Classix as the skins didnt work with 3, but what I really want to know is whats different from 2.8 and 2.9?
TIA
Tom
Winamp 2.90b (b for beta) is essentially an updated version of Winamp 2.81. It includes support for video playback (which works fairly well) and also adds a 'media library', and a new method of skinning plugins. There is a full list of features / fixes / changes
here.
So far it seems very quick and stable

Winamp 3 is a totally new version, written from scratch rather than built on any earlier version of Winamp. It allows freeform skinning and a pretty flexible and comprehensive plugin system. Unfortunately, it's also slow, buggy and bloated (IMO), and slightly AOL-ish. Personally I am sticking with Winamp 2.xx - particularly as now with the release of 2.90b there is no real reason to use 3...

The BSPlayer skin and the new Winamp skin will hopefully be released with the next version of the Classix VS, which will hopefully be soon
so I think it will be included in the next release of classix

Okay good giga, and yes the archive is huge going on 10mb at best compression via RAR.

Not to be a bothersome user, but saint-dark was supposed to have looked into hosting are you going to use it? if so i would be very honored

-Or at least be a mirror. I will setup your own account if you'd like, so that you can use it for everything desktops.. etc rather than just classix if used via saint-dark.
Peace.

I had a bash at skinning Phoenix, but it seems
ridiculously over-complicated - even relatively 'simple' stuff took me an age. I might return to it at some point, but if someone else wants to have a go... feel free

It's mostly done by CSS, incidentally, which I know pretty well (being a web designer) but the way Phoenix uses it is extremely complex.
