Winamp 3.x was considered bloated. So to help rectify the problems of 3.x, Winamp release version 5.x (the best of 2 + 3). Though I recall many still used version 2.x even after the 5.x release.&lt;p&gt;Question: so when you say folks are trying to keep the &amp;quot;last version&amp;quot; alive, which version are you referring too since later versions weren’t loved.</text></comment>

Winamp coming up soon: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.winamp.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.winamp.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s just... the complete opposite of what Winamp was all about, and it&amp;#x27;s horrible and leaves a bad taste in your mouth (-100 points for the atrocious &amp;quot;modern&amp;quot; website which loads MBs of Javascript, screams BIG TEXT at you, hijacks your scroll wheel, and still tells you nothing about the actual software other than it will probably suck. Oh and another -100 points for that cookie popup.)</text></comment>
