Because it’s a frequent comment I hear on the topic, what makes .NET 3.5 a pain? I’m only curious because my experience and from what I’ve observed is you just install the Framework and it’ll just work :)

The choice to move WWWinamp to a newer, ‘managed’ language was because the classic C/WinSock/Win32 API code wasn’t easily scaled to support the features that I was afforded using .NET, like the ability to skin the UI to look like whatever you want (for example, our iPhone Compatible Skin). So I can understand people’s desire for the ‘lower overhead’ of the classic WWWinamp Server, but the newer version isn’t too much of a memory hog compared to todays standards (10MB with a sizable media library) and actually has many more features :)

Thanks again for the comments my way and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
