Winamp 5.5

Oct. 10, 2007 Paul Thurrott | Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its venerable media player, Winamp has launched Winamp 5.5:

What's New in Winamp 5.5?

  • A Completely Redesigned Interface, including Album Art
  • Multiple device support, including iPods
  • Access and Share Your Music and Videos with Winamp Remote
  • Play and Playlist the Best Music on the Web with Media Monitor
  • Get Artist & Concert News, Videos & more with Smart Search
  • Enjoy Dynamic Song Recommendations
  • Experience MP3 Surround Sound Support
  • Access to Thousands of Online Radio Stations, Videos and More!
  • 50 FREE MP3 Music Downloads compliments of eMusic's 2-week Trial
  • Auto-Tagger provides automatic updates to file information
  • Control Winamp From Your Browser with the Winamp Toolbar
There's also a Pro version (?) for $19.95. I realize a few hangers-on still use Winamp, but I'm shocked at the notion that anyone would pay for a slightly better version at this point.

Like your advice for which digital audio format to use, I try to stick with non-iTunes solutions wherever possible. And the player in iTunes either doesn't like the systems that I use it on, or I don't have it properly configured, because it seems to use up too much CPU just to play my MP3 library.

And the player in iTunes either doesn't like the systems that I use it on, or I don't have it properly configured, because it seems to use up too much CPU just to play my MP3 library. So I stick with more open solutions like winamp. Of course I still use the 2.x or 3.x version, because it is a super light client.
