Available: Winamp 5.531
I know
I'm running a little behind on this, but I still wanted to make sure
everyone heard the news. On April 11, 2008, the latest version of the
popular Winamp media player (v5.531)
was released and it is now available for download. I'm sure all of you
avid Winamp users out there have been using it for the last few days,
but just in case you didn't know, now you do! And as with every new
release, this one comes with a couple new features and several issues
have been fixed. Let's take a look!
In
order for you to fully understand what has changed in the 5.531 version,
I'm going to list the fixes that were posted right on the Winamp Web
site. All of these issues were fixed: Bento browser redirecting some
URLs to the Winamp Search, Bento collapse/expand button bug, recent
URLs not saving, total time display of selected tracks in the Classic
playlist, AOL radio skipping/buffer issue, right click Play/Enqueue
all items in three pane views and broken right click context menu items.
Wow, that's a lot, huh?!
Now,
if you use Winamp on a regular basis, you probably noticed that a 5.53
version was released just a few days before v5.531 came out. So, why
were two different versions released so close together? Well, the Winamp
team actually found quite a few bugs in the 5.53 version and they wanted
to clear those up as fast as possible. Hence version 5.531. You definitely
can't say they're not looking out for you! If you'd like to download
Winamp 5.531, you can do so right here.
Note: Winamp's Web site says v5.53, but it is the new
version, so don't think you're getting the wrong thing. Now, go on and
enjoy your new Winamp player. I know I already am!
