You're both right! https://web.archive.org/web/20131219003849/http://www.winamp.com/help/FAQ#General https://web.archive.org/web/20131219003849/http://www.winamp... > What happened to Winamp 4? You're not imagining things. Yes, we skipped a version number for the following reasons: a) Winamp 5 combines the best aspects of Winamp 2 and Winamp 3 into one player. Hence Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5! b) Who the hell wants to see a Winamp 4 Skin :P c) We think that a Fibonacci sequence for versioning might be pretty damn cool. d)We improved so much in Winamp 5 that we figured it warranted skipping a version. ;)

So I can't imagine that the clowns that made that awful new Winamp site would be cool enough to call the new one Winamp 8. Or release a version that anyone actually wants, for that matter.

  Supposedly they're still going to call it Winamp v6 assuming it happens. They've lied a number of times over the past 8yrs so don't hold your breathe but the new site is somewhat indicative of their disregard about why those still using Winamp (or clones of it) do so. -dro

    The site didn't have to like that either

  If the new website is any indicator of the quality of the new Winamp, it's going to be a huge nope from me.

I still don't understand. What's wrong with Winamp 4 skins? Edit: Maybe I have to sound it out. Is it because 4 skin sounds like foreskin?

  You got it :)

    They thought a Winamp 4 skin would leave a bad taste in people's mouths, so they scratched it.
