Probably true? v2 came out in 98.

Winamp3 came out in 2002 and it may have had the feature. It was total rewrite, added a bunch of stuff, but killed off a bunch more and a lot of people (myself included) never used it. Nullsoft was basically forced to keep the v2 edition alive since it was what everyone stuck with and Winamp5 was supposed to unite the userbase (it was based on v2) but I never bothered with it since by then Winamp had been owned by AOL for a long time and I didn't really want AOL software on my machines.

Winamp Lite was pretty popular too and helped to bridge the gap
