i dont understand how music from a 16bit audio CD, lossy encoded, can sound better in foobar regardless if the soundcard is 16bit or 24bit

then again, i don't have a 24bit sound card...

I don't now either but if you coulod hear it, you would be like whoa

I had the mad mp3 plugin, deleted the in_mp3.dll, copied over the mad.dll (I cant' remember the file name, not ath home right now, at work right now) from a previous winamp install that I had backed up, now using 24 bit on an Audigy card, works fine.

I used the mad plugin from winamp 2 plugins but it just doesn't sound as good as foobar. I don't know what the heck foobar is doing but my music sounds alot richer and the equalizer infoobar is all zero'd out, so it's not that and I have replaygain off.

does foobar has a good wma plugin?

I checked out both the releases, iTunes and Winamp and imo I'm kinda dissapointed by iTunes. There's nothing new in it, the memory it uses is the same as the app made by Aqua Soft. As far as Winamp is concerned it can use all the mem it wants coz it just owns :)

Ok so the skin is made by Bartman, Imo it owns and he should try to change the buttons coz they ar'nt his style and resemble the MP buttons a lot, maybe he did the MP skin as well ? Who knows ?

This if coded properly will be the best Winamp release ever :)

I was wondering why the 'modern' WA5 skin was familiar in 'feel'... That answers it.

everything is good except that there's no crossfader... [snip]

or maybe there is i just can't find it...

There is a crossfader. Just head over to options->preferences->output->directsound output-bla-bla-bla->configure->fading-> and configure it to suit your needs. :)

That works in the 2.9x versions [and possibly earlier ones as well.]

ok, can anybody who's got WA5 tell me what exactly is the improvement over WA2? mind, i don't care about media libraries or funky skins. so how about the audio engine? has that improved? how is the handling of VBR mp3's, any improvements there?

i get the distinct impression everybody is only going "OMGOMGOMG" just because they're being swept up in the hype. or is it really such an amazing improvement over v2?

You can't auto hide anymore??!?? I used to love using the NonStep skin for WinAmp3 but it seems like the autohide option is gone making the skin unpratical. Or am I missing something?

Autohide is feature of the nonstep skin, not of WA, but you should be able to run the nonstep skin in WA5 if you wanted.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
