probably gonna start a flame war here, but oh well. wa3 sucks. it's a resource hog, and the only upside of it are the cool eye-candy skins. it's an mp3 player. the wa2 skins are just fine for that. especially with litestep, when most themes have controls built in, so you almost never actually see winamp. I tried wa3 for a month, but it was just too much of a hog. besides, wimamp discontinued wa3, so even they realized it's not that popular.
