                         Hi again Dan
If you're upgrading to 5, you should install version 5 right over the top 
of version 2.80. If you have any bookmarks or favorites saved, uninstalling 
your previous version will delete them.
  You will find that there are a few differences with 5, but nothing truely 
astronomical that is impossible to navigate.
  as has been mentioned more times than I care to remember on the list 
here, but there's always newbies coming along so I guess it bares 
repeating. When installing version 5, make sure that when you come to the 
skin selection part of the install, make sure you choose the classic 
skin.  This way you'll have the exact same functionality as before. if you 
choose the modern skin, you'll have nothing but trouble, trust me on this 
one, others can attest to it too i'm sure.
also you might be wondering the differences between Winamp 5 full and 
Winamp 5 pro. Winamp 5 full is the free version just as 2.80 was. Winamp 
pro costs $14.95 and allows you to rip and burn cd's at the highest speed 
your cd burner can go. the free version limits you to certain kinds of 
files and limits you to ripping only at 1 x, which is very very slow.

Hope this helps a bit further.
