Winamp 5.0 Beta 1 Out
This ones a bit late, but nevertheless. The first Beta version of Winamp 5.0 has been made available on the web. Nullsoft's Winamp is one of the most popular media players around, and it helped fuel the MP3 revolution, but there is much speculation about how good this latest version will be. Still, for a first look, go grab the beta version.

Should have freakin' done this in the first place with V3.
I couldn't use my Xenogears skins and that ticked me off pretty good.
i like it alot more then 3.
what happened to 4.0?
It mixes all the things I liked in both versions (They actually did it!), and ditched what I didn't from Winamp3.
Playlist support is much improved, winamp5's new skin is brilliant and only uses 9 megs of RAM or so. Uses a mere 15 with MMD3 of WA3 fame. Skin support was flawless. Songs SOUNDED better, I think they improved their equalization methods.
Just a great version, I can't find a bug yet. Wonderful alpha.
