WinAmp 5.04

[prathapml]

wa v5.04 has been released!

download Pro

Lots of bug-fixes too. It is being discussed at ne0w!n, god knows why they are hated so much here.

Q. Whats the difference between full and pro installers? (they have the same size)

A. They are the same thing except the pro installer asks for your key at install.

I don't know if the bug I've been facing right since the wa5 betas has been fixed with this version (play any media type in a limited-user account on WinXP, and winamp gets a window-theming similar to XP and exits/crashes). Does anybody else get this problem?

Enjoy!

god knows why they are hated so much here.

Its getting scary, is winamp as an actively developed app going to stop?

From Justin Frankel's website:

"It looks like Winamp's development is going to be really dead soon, since

everybody who has directly worked on it is either gone or will be gone soon.

Maybe it will get un******, I sure hope so."

did anybody notice this in the Credits screen?

Hey, as XtremeMaC says below, it looks like Alanoll has a task coming his way soon, LOL.

And, the above attachment doesn't seem to display correctly, here it is:

The frame says -

Winamp 5: The final edition (for now)

Dedicated to all our users

Exit strategy?

well Justin Frankel might just be right. if u look at what winamp currently supports its more than enough for audio and video. I mean it supports everything right now. what more can they put on it right? they seem to have fixed lots of bugs too. and maybe they didn't earn enough money with the pro version. therefore they might be stopping futher development..

but many ppl still make skins & plugins. so if something is not enough u can obtain it from the plugins right..

edit: the 1st attachment seems fine on mine the second attachment is slightly smaller in resolution for me..

get to work alanoll

[Alanoll]

blast you two....

I've started development, but don't say that in that thread

Also, Mac, looks like I accomplished our holy grail. INI file support.

:woot:

now it's jsut

winamp.msi INI=winamp.ini

lol

Did you notice how there are over 200 NEW files in this release?

There's a reason I waited on updating that MSI, they way Mac did it before...it's just a beast. All those components I gotta wade through.

[prathapml]

I've started development.......

True, and you've done a good job of it - congrats!

@all:

Here's where you can get Alanoll's MSI: cool!!

[XtremeMaC]

thanks alanoll!!

@alanoll erm clean your pm inbox!!!
