yeah version 3 was a stinking pile of poo and slow as hell,
they stopped being a music player and started to be a 'media player'
with it. so everyone continued to use ver2 instead. (I stopped use it then)
back then WinAmp was the music player everyone used...
I remember their 3+2= 5
(meaning it was based on ver2 but with ver3's features )


Anyone knows a good simple opensource nonskinned musicplayer?
(that don't do movies, only music. perhaps something similar
to foobar2000 version 0.8 ?)
