excerpt: "Winamp 5.0 is out, the successor to version 3.0, and I've been running it since the beta stages. It rocks. You get 3.0's skinning with nearly 2.0's light resource usage. Recommended for everyone, and it's free."

Winamp 5.0 has been released. It is the next version of Winamp after version 3.0. I have been using it since beta stages and I must say it rocks. Winamp 3.0 skinning with almost as little resources used as Winamp 2.0. Recommanded to download for all users since it is free.
