Damn.. I'm still using 2.8, 3 and 5 use up too much ram >_<

5 is using ~15 megs. my browser is using 100. aim uses 20+.

2.8 only uses 2.8MB and i'm usually working on phothoshop which can go over 150MB, and then i'm usually online with AIM opened, so i need as much system resources as possible.. >_<

Bah.

It's still really neat, being able to watch non-commercial tv over the internet. This DJ chick is on RaveTrax, and RantTV is also broadcasting

Mike should rant on RantTV. That'd be awesome. :O

Opera uses 87 for me.

Course Dreamweaver uses 23, SmartFTP - 7.5; Trillian - 12.5; PSP - 15; Winamp 2.95 - 7.5; WindowBlinds - .5. Usually I've all of these open,

Are you using the free or the pay version of winamp 5?

OMG PR0N!!! Must get it now.

EDIT: BTW, what's new with that? Winamp 2 also has Internet TV.

Whoa, how do you get internet TV on Winamp 2.8?

Slartibartfast · Post by **Slartibartfast** » 2004-01-11 02:56pm

Click on the lightning icon, it opens the media library.

Anyway, it does really seem like they knew what they were doing with 5, not like that bloated piece of shit 3. Not as light as 2, but not extra-bloated either.

I just use the classic mode with WA5 and it's lighter.

you dont really. you can stream the individual shows, but you dont get the same integrated functionality.

Don't know what you mean, to me both Media Library windows are identical.

They could be using even more memory since they are multi-threaded programs. A multi-threaded program spawns new threads that run seperate from the main processes. So it is likely you are viewing only the memory used by the main process and not the new threads created by it.

Also, one of these seems to be a 5 minute lagged rebroadcast of BBC 1....

Have they put the output plugin back? I mostly use WinAmp 2.8 to convert midis to wave, but that doesn't seem possible with newer versions like WinAmp3 (I've never figured out how to do it, anyway

). I wonder why they took that away...
