The lite version of 5 shows absolutely no difference of any kind from 2.95.
The full version probably is version 3 warmed over, which adds a lot of
window dressing that I have no use for.

Fair enough. But for some of us, window dressing is a nice thing to have
sometimes.
 
Actually version 5 is a recoded version of Winamp implementing the best
features in both version 2 and 3. They know how bad Winamp 3 ended up so
they scratched that codebase.

I like it for the most part. The only problem I had was that dialup is to
slow for internet tv no matter how big you make the buffer. It will play
pause and buffer then play again over and over. Guess I'll have to watch my
anime at work. Also it can not play region free dvds like VLC can.

What I like most is the visualizations and media library. The sound is
perfect as far as I can tell. It plays wmv files ok. There are lots of
skins to use. Currently I'm using the updated MiniMe set of skins. I can
stream radio ok on it.
