Should note that it is a beta/test version.

Winamp 5.0 is the latest version of the groundbreaking media player that helped start the MP3 revolution. We've listened to all the wonderful feedback we've received and used it in the making of this new version:

Winamp 5.0 adds support for all your favorite Winamp 2 and 3 skins (respectively called Classic and Modern skins) within one player.
Winamp finally gets a make over! When using the Modern skins, Winamp looks its best and is easier to use than ever before.
The improved Winamp Library allows you to easily browse your music and videos while allowing you to have easy access to your favorite Internet Radio and TV stations in one place.
Access information like Biographies, fan sites, and more from your Winamp Library.
Easily rip all your favorite CD\'s into the new CD quality AAC format (for free) or into the universally supported CD quality MP3 format (part of Pro version) right through your Winamp Library.
Access to Internet TV and Radio stations embedded in the Winamp Library.
Take all your favorite tracks from your music collection and burn a compilation CD quickly and easily in the Winamp Library.

To begin testing, just go to Keyword: Beta and click the Winamp 5.0 link. Please visit the Known Issues and FAQ's areas and don't forget to file bug reports on any issues you encounter. =)

Thank you for your time and efforts


Off-topic but I thought I'd mention it:

iTunes 4.1 for Windows and Mac
iTunes 4 is the best software jukebox in the world, with a great music store inside. With it, you can create your own personal digital music library to manage and listen to your music collection, all with drag-and-drop simplicity.

iTunes encodes high-quality MP3s as well as pristine AAC, all in a free application. If you dont like getting charged a subscription fee or paying for additional features like fast CD burning, your digital music experience is about to get a whole lot better.

iTunes 4.1 is available for Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows 2000

Yes, "Hell froze over" at apple.com now...
Maybe time to get an iPod...

Also: what happened to winamp4? was there ever one?
Well - hopefully 5 goes back to winamp2 style, because 3 was really crap.

AFAIK, WinAmps 2 and 3 were very different and WinAmp5 (2 + 3) is a coalition of the two. :)

yes, that is why it was called winamp 5

it is can use both winamp2 and winamp3 skins
and it has a media library and can scale the windows

it also loads alot faster than winamp 3

thank god that nullsoft have officially given up on the winamp3 engine. winamp 5 just looks like winamp 2 thankfully i might add... Its getting better but still not as good as WMP9 for the library experience... but is still the best for us simple people who just want to hear all those glorious mp3s :D
