What is it?
I am looking for the lightest simplest version that supports WMA and MP3 primarily.
I also want a version that has the global hotkey functionality.
Everything else I could care less.
Currently I am using 5.531 and it seems to lag and use about 27k mem. Also when I boot winamp this shitty popup splash window says something or trying to download something, I dunno I always close it.
Please don't recommend other listening programs, I don't wanna see "I use foobar" posts because winamp owns, just the newer versions seem to suck.
PS- I know I can use oldversion.com to get it, just not sure which one has what I need.

The lightest ones was easily 2.XX imo. but i'm not sure if they had global hotkeys or not, 3 and up started to feel bloated as shit so yeah, i dunno.
When you use the later Winamp versions do they still take up that much memory if you use the old skin?
|
yea I only ever use the basic skin.

You don't want foobar, and you already know about oldversion.com, what kind of help do you really expect? You already know what you need, it would be quicker to download a 2.xx and see if it has global hotkeys than it is to make a post.

I've always used 2.78 and 4.6K memory. Dunno what global hotkeys are though so I can't help you out there.

Yea, let me go and download every version and test them for WMA, MP3, mem use, and global hotkeys..

I use WinAmp but you're making it stupidly hard for yourself with your description lol.. you want a program that's extremely basic yet you want it to be WinAmp? :L
Foobar does suit your needs (not sure about global hotkey functionality, I think there may be a mod, what hotkeys do you want? Pause, Resume, Stop, Next, Exit? I'm sure it's got those).
No idea about old versions of WinAmp because latest one works fine, 24,000 kb isn't that much either :/ It's not like you need to have as much memory as possible unless you're playing a system heavy game or rendering or something.

just use winamp light - you dont really need all that crap that gets bundled with the full version anyway.
|
Winamp sort of pisses me off because When i edit songs that they would carry the album pictures, it fucks up other songs that dont have album pictures, and so on
Does anyone have a solution to that?
|
yea, go delete the album art.
|
I'm using version 2.5 Lite. It works great.
|
VLC media player is definitely the best version of winamp
|
Winamp 2 was great but definitely missing some features. Winamp 3 is when Nullsoft started developing complete trash. It was bloated, buggy, and had horrible memory leaks. They've certainly picked up their act since the 5.x versions.
You really shouldn't have any problems with the latest version of Winamp these days.

I used to use Winamp 2.95 religiously (now I use foobar hahahah). Was very light but lacked some much needed features.
Just for kicks I just downloaded 5.541, used 'Lite' install to remove features not needed, and it actually used the same amount of memory as 2.95. 15k-18k usually.
Obviously it comes with the features you want as well.
(or you could just use foobar, even less ram usage if you are so concerned about it)
