Winamp v5.2 Pro Surround Edition
Nullsoft Winamp is a fast, flexible, high-fidelity music player for
Windows. Winamp supports MP3, CD, Audiosoft, Audio Explosion, MOD,
WAV and other audio formats, custom appearances called skins, plus
audio visualization and audio effect plug-ins. additional features
including free-form skins, a new decoder, built-in cross fade, and
an advanced Media Library.
Winamp3 was a failure in terms of what it hoped to achieve, many
users reverted back to Winamp 2 as it was faster and more recent
versions included some of the features that 3.0 introduced.
Winamp5 (working title) hopes to merge the best features of the two,
as this is an alpha this version is not yet obvious but I am sure you
guys will want to try it out anyway!
