Caught this from a post by webRat over in ultrashock ( [http://www.ultrashock.com](http://www.ultrashock.com) ) webRat writes: > With iTunes released, the rumors of winamp 5 comes through the grapevine. Apparently so many users revered from 3 back to 2 that they skipped 4 and went straight to 5. As I understand it… Winamp 5 has the power of 2 with the skinning of 3. I installed it, pretty interesting features here. With the Winamp Pro 5 features, you will be able to rip directly from a CD to an MP3 (ACC or Lame mp3 capabilities). Looking at the [winamp.com](http://winamp.com) site, you’ll not find one peep about Winamp 5 at all. Even in the developer section. It does exist though.

> \*Originally posted by mlkdesign \* > \*\*why didnt v4 come out ? this is stupid… im keeping good ole v2 =) \*\* They say that Winamp 5 is supposedly the combination of the best versions (2 and 3, thus 2+3=5) :sigh: But I agree with you on preference, I am and will always be using Winamp 2(.91) ---
