I like 2.9 works good so far
have you tried the enhancer, wow what a great add on
http://www.i-adrian.home.ro/enhancer.htm


put it on general improvements and be shocked at the sound :o

[{I}{K}{E}]

I use Winamp 2.95 with DFX 6.40

[Dapadipz]

Thanks For The Update IKE

BTW I Use Winamp 2.95 With Dee2

[muchspl2]

I&#39;ve got dfx 6.40 allso, but I still can&#39;t get the same sound out of it that I get from the enhancer, it really makes a big difference, just haven&#39;t been able to duplicate it on dfx
give it a go with general improvments and tell me what you think.


BTW: thanks for the update :)

Just tried it, and all I&#39;ve got to say is "wow."

I&#39;ve been using Dee3 (http://willow.iie.uz.zgora.pl/~mcharydc/design/), and it was good, but even though the Enhancer is an older plugin, it matches, if not beats, the Dee3 in performance.

Thanks for the reccomendation.

Also, {I}{K}{E}, I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s your winamp in those pictures you posted, but I really like those skins... any idea of their names?

I just downloaded wa5b. I Like the modern skin theme, way better then the deafult 2.x, i just hope this one isnt a resource whore like 3.x, cause that one was slowing my pc down, and made my games laggy. I know its still beta. So i wont judge it to hard, but so far i think there heading in the right direction.

[Nightwolf]

I thought the current version was only 3? I tried that one when it first came out and it sucked so bad I went back to 2.81.

[riku_x]

winamp 2+3=5


I used winamp 2.95 with dfx 6.4 and thought the sound was great.

But Winamp5&#39;s sound is A LOT better, it&#39;s so much more defined.

Quite Simply:

THE DOGS BOLLOCKS&#33;&#33;&#33;

even without any dsp audio plug in - the sound is definetly improved :P
