I have used winamp for a long time i liked it due to the fact i found it responsive and non intrusive. Not anymore it is the total opposite of what it once was its total Bloatware even bordering on Spyware with the gracenote and web tracking feature etc.
For e.g i run it on my Main rig X48-DS4 MOBO Q6700 @ 2.66GHz 2 x ATi 4850 in crossfire 4 GB DDR2 2 x 500GB Seagate F1 HD's XP SP3 DX9.0c the system is far from slow yet when i run winamp 5.3 and up it wont respond when i want to close it even if their is nothing else running task manager shows Winamp consuming 48+ MB RAM and the CPU usage is so tied up i cant even bring up task manager and have to wait for about 20-40 seconds, I couldnt even open a web browser to disconnect my net connection or a folder on PC whilst "Slugamp" decided it wanted to do something without me knowing and then hoggin all my CPU time or cycles whilst it done its spying crap i guess, reason i say this is as soon as i checked my routers logs to see what IP adress' were contacted from winamp i found 90% of the IP's and traffic on my router being from winamp!
So now i have to discnnect my LAN / CAT5 cable physically and only then do i get my PC back from winamp unless i want to wait 40 seconds sometimes more and if its not just waiting it will just not respond at all cant even acess it in task manager like wtf is wrong with this application really have made this application from great to bloated crapware imo and i am saddened that i bought the PRO version thinking that would cure my problems with not responding and calling the net but no it was the same!
Its gone the way NERO has gone and ppl can say what they will about it but facts are facts i know plenty of old school WinAmp users who are fed up with it and are using alternate applications tehirs heaps around!
AS for the blogger i am not trying to dismiss any opinions of his or other readers im just putting forward what i found and why i wont use it anymore, i dont see why i should pay for something that spys on my behaviour also!

HELP!
Winamp does not close properly upon exiting in recent versions. It hangs computers requiring a full reboot. In addition, although unchecked the DSP Shoucast stream always attempts to connect. AND cannot disconnect from shoutcast streaming by hitting dinconnect/kill !?!? FRUSTRATING!!
Computers:
P4 2.4ghz
P4 3.Oghz
Dual P3 (1.0ghz)
all WinXP SP2

Winamp 5.5 has another prob,the prob is that while closing winamp in Bento skin, even though the the winamp is closed, still in task manager the process "winamp.exe" is running and the mem usuage goes on increasing from 10mb to 30mb and then suddenly the process is terminated. my comp configuration is

Nullsoft continues their painful downward spiral with the next installment in this series of bug fixes - if you think this is quality software, just look at how many "bugs" (eg, CODING ERRORS) have been fixed! The latest versions of winamp are slower, hog more memory, have a cludgey 'lagging' interface, and offer no addition features of any practical use than the last three versions did.

great program yeah, but since AOHell bought Nullsoft's winamp, the development stopped. And v5 became too bloated causing it to be not as fast and light-weight as v2.95
for those of you interested in the old versions go to www.oldversion .com

5.2 is awful, needs javascript and IE for the shoutcast libary to work, a hackers delight
reminds me of v3.0 , except this 5.2 is the worst yet, also be warned the Shoutcast browser and online sections track everything you do by way of Omniture WebBugs and a unique ID assigned to your machine.
tread with extreme caution or stick with v5.13

I read that the developing of Winamp ends... It´s a very very pity... (Winamp 2,95 is MORE faster than Winamp 5,06...)
