Latest Changes:

* Critical Security bug fixed in in_cdda.dll and .m3u handler in_mp3 & in_nsv should work on Win95 again

Or you could try looking at Winamp's site - loads of skins on there.

Wasn't Winamp just updated a week or 2 ago? :blink:

Yes. Why do you ask?

[uNz[i]]

Yes. Why do you ask?
Because I find it surprising that there's a need to update a media playing app so often.
Surely once a month would be enough...

Maybe these were deemed to important to let pass for another 2 weeks? I'd rather have a version that is better functional than one that is not, no? ;)

[natedogg]

because they don't want u to think winamp is dead

[Samurai]

There's too many users using Winamp to make it obsolete.

What I'm saying is they could have just released a patch, instead of going up to a new version.
That bug list is pretty short, after all.

[Samurai]

That's true.

[tesco]

It just makes more sense to release a new version...
People new to Winamp (or that aren't using 5.06) don't want to have to download the the installer and then a patch. that's just annoying.

Annoying or not, Windows users are already quite used to downloading patches... :lol: ;)
