its good that they bother to 'fix' all bugs/etc , but why there's always so many of them ?
#3.1 excalpius on 27 Aug 2007 - 20:10
...because they keep adding new features.
(1 reply) #4 JohnBfromMemphis on 27 Aug 2007 - 19:35
Since the initial release of Winamp 5 they have been steadily adding new features which at times can break current features. Most of the bugs could be from the new features anyhow.
#4.1 miguel_montes on 27 Aug 2007 - 19:50
Agreed. We can expect a lot of fixes for the album art stuff, for instance.
#5 Darken on 27 Aug 2007 - 21:49
Excellent! Thanks for the heads up.
