anyways, it works, so why change?...
I haven't noticed much if any difference in the resources needed between various old Winamp 2.x series. But the the 2.91 version must have been released in the past year specifically to offer the kind of library feature that MusicMatch, Real's Jukebox and other new MP3 players offer, yet still run well on older underpowered systems like the Librettos.
In the past couple years I tried a couple programs that ran as a shell for Winamp, and provided the the library component. But they really drew all too much from the CPU. With 2.91, I can add all of my directories of 3400+ MP3s (and just beginning) to the library amazingly fast. At that point I can instantly sort all tracks alphabetically by song title, artist, album title, genre, etc. by a click of its field header, do quick text searches for songs, add tracks to the playlist, reorder the playlist, tweak the EQ... all in one nice interface.
I used to launch MP3s via Windows Explorer... but I like to file albums differently than I like accessing them to play. A few years back I really got to love MusicMatch v4 for its library, but it always slowed up the Librettos. So I was really happy to see Nullsoft come out with a 2.x series version with a library that works efficiently with the 120MHz and 166MHz CPUs on my Libbys. And with the Replaygain plugin, I've got something that is only offered in the latest resource hungry versions of MM.
