Still there. on Winamp 5.2 it been moved to the ONLINE SERVICE section scrool down on the left hand pane and open the online section.

Read the docs and readme file too. Winamp does get 'updated' all the time

I think he means the Local Media style, fast, efficient, and usefull shoutcast search that was in previous versions and not this useless peice of crap it's been replaced with.

I don't know what the rationalle was behind the change was, but it was pretty ill conceived.

"Hey, lets take a wonderfull feature and screw it up completely! that'll really piss our users off!"


On a related note, anyone know where I can download a previous version of winamp? I want the old style shoutcast browser back.

My thoughts exactly. I'm now back using version 5.1 and won't be updating unless they put the old style search back. I can't possibly understand, why the developers decided to replace the old search with something that's so obviously inferior.
