Anyone try it yet? I have... and quickly reverted back to 2.80!

I have a "echo effect" coming from my speakers w/ v3.0.... like its got some sort of "concert hall" DSP assigned to it or something. Odd.

v2.80 doesn't reproduce this. It sounds like it should. As far as WMP "corona" over Winamp? No way. Look at the memory footprints and load time vs each other.... Winamp is still the best for MP3 files.... and if they fix v3.0 to get rid of the stupid "echo sound", it plays video files as well as WMP.

We could see a dethroning of a king very soon.....

Winamp probably doesn't have some 'rights management' and 'automatic update' 'features' built into it like Corona does. Maybe there's a 3D Surround Sound setting you can turn off to get rid of the echo?

Ya I tried winamp 3 recently and decided I didn't like it becasue it did play video files. I want to be able to listen to my mp3s without worrying about videos popping up randomly...
There were also a few buggy things about it too that bothered me. I'll probably try it again when the final build is announced or something. I dunno.

winamp 3.0 final is released, hence coz's post

the issues with random crashes i've experienced with the various betas seem to be gone. the app has a bunch of handy features and some not-so-handy but geeky ones i like. i could do without the vid player thingie though. it IS an audio player after all.

all in all - me like big time

after playing a while i've noted a few things:
the shuffle feature is waaaaaaaaaaay better than in 2.*. this is REAL shuffle. no risk of running into the same songs over and over again while 200 songs never get played... *thumb up*

there is a con however, and that is the sound issue coz referred to above. i'm not getting any echo effects but i'm experiencing a slightly strange sound. kind of like it's played in a box...
it's not much, and i was able to tweak it away somewhat but it's still there, and it's annoying.

waiting eagerly for 3.01 with the sound fixed

ive been using winamp3 since early beta. the final is ALOT better. there are a few things that need to be fixed but other than that. its good, its default mp3 player now

its there to play music thats all i care about

i like staring at the purty skins all day =>

err no, skins that look more like the design of www.wastedyouth.org

i got it and use it.. i like 3.0.. absolutlty no echoes either

WMP 8/9 for me...

Adhesive: do you have the SB Live card with those new (588mb) drivers?

Now that I am paying attention to my computer, I am getting a "echo effect" from almost everything.... from Neverwinter Nights starting up, to Direct Connect connecting to a HUB... every sound comes out like I am in a concert hall or something.

Maybe it's some setting I missed somewhere?

And I would sit here and talk about how much better and practical Winamp 3 is over WMP 8/9, I could give documentation on memory footprint, load times, sound decoding, etc, etc.... but we have to take one variable into account.... Sid is a Canuck... and there is no changing his mind once he has made a statement like that....

588 meg drivers sounds funny, its bigger than a damn OS size

You have a sound blaster live ? do you have any of the enviromental effects effects turned on, such as echo etc ?

Go to the control panel, audio hq, EAX control panel and check out the options there

audio hq?
EAX control panel?

those creative software? if so, no i dont have any of them installed, even if i have a SB Live!

good card - bad software
i do believe i might have the new drivers if they were released sometime the latest months... cant seem to find the version number though

You need at least the Audio Hq part its controls the speakers etc, its a small program in the control panel.

One thing that's bothering me is I can't find the VIS settings for the analyzer and spectrograph. I would always crank up the FPS on it and make it "fire" style with the fastest analyzer / peak falloffs. I can't seem to find those settings anywhere. I miss my silky smooth VIS's.

I'd rather have no VIS than chunky VIS...

well, i dont have it anywhere...

i agree with you Treytor. i really miss the fire style vis

soon I hope...

*knocks on wood*
*crosses fingers*
*humps bob*

Ok, I looked in my AudioHQ control applet, and somehow, someway a "reverb/echo" thing was applied to the speakers. No idea how that happened. Maybe ~Sid~ was messing w/ my stuff when I wasn't looking?

Regardless, I am going to wait until Winamp 3.0 STD is released and they go up a version #. Still too "BETA" for my taste at this point, even though it's a official release.

I like it....works great for me....tanks.

oi leave me alown......in here

This is what I use...

Enjoy!!

thanks necrosis ^_^

Hey Necrosis looks like you got my same speaker setup... how do u like em?

Welcome!

I love 'em to be honest. I've always wanted a set of the Klipsch just never really had the cash laying around to devote to them. However, some people don't like these speakers because they say they cost too much. I've always loved their clearity and sonic range. Personally I think they easily beat out the Logitech's, or the Cambridge Megaworks. The only two things the Megaworks have over the Klipsch is slightly less in price, and of course digital in.

I wouldn't have any other set, Klipsch rules.

QCD for MP3s (http://www.quinnware.com/news.html), sometimes Sonique. RealOne for streaming stuff.
