Winamp 5.091 FINAL

Advertisement (Why?)

Thanks Viper6 for the heads up on this update.
Earlier this week Nullsoft released v5.0.9.1 of Winamp to their forums only to have it pulled a few hours later. They posted a message simply saying "Sorry, but due to *legal* issues (don't ask) 5.091 has been temporarily pulled and there should hopefully be new official builds available sometime next week"

Well, it's FINAL now guys...

Personally i loved Winamp, too bad cause now AOL messed up the best media player around , and its not an opinion its a fact , just check the Winamp forums to see how many people are reporting bugs & '' calling home '' problems in the last Winamp versions 5.08....09 , etc.

so... no encoding to WMA in this one?

#5.1 sullysnet on 23 May 2005 - 19:57

Why don't you go look at the forum link at the top to see the changlog and what was removed due to "legal" issues.

#11 rm20010 on 22 May 2005 - 22:43

It would've helped if that older news post was edited once more instead of making an entirely new post.

#12 kronix2 on 24 May 2005 - 12:02

They've removed WMA ripping? Suits me. I won't be buying (or downloading, for that matter) anything with the extension "WMA".

I wonder why they didn't call this Winamp 5.1 or 5.10? Have they reserved a relatively major update for the 5.1 version number?
