Winamp v5.9

Does anyone still use this?

 

Homepage / Download / Release Notes

 

This is the culmination of 4 years' work since the 5.8 release.

 

Two dev teams, and a pandemic-induced hiatus period in between.

 

To the end-user, it might not seem like there's a whole heap of changes, but the largest and hardest part was actually migrating the entire project from VS2008 to VS2019 and getting it all to build successfully.

 

The groundwork has now been laid, and now we can concentrate more on features. Whether fixing/replacing old ones or adding new.

 

The build # has stayed as 9999 for this release (Beta, RC and Final builds)

 

(builds can be identified by filename + timestamp).

 

We'll reset the build number for v5.9.1

Yes, still my go-to if I'm listening from my PC and not streaming. Also handles my iPod Classics. iTunes is awful so I avoid it as much as possible.
