Well it's officially 12/21 and the site is still here so I guess fellow junior member "circcc" was right . . . a pending sale/transfer of winamp may well actually be happening! If so, this indeed is great news. Let's just hope the new company doesn't break something that isn't broken and regular development continues. Current users pretty much like this the way it is and we don't need the wheel reinvented . . . just continued support and development as before.
Winamp 5.666 Released (Build 3516)

@DrO, that's true but my point is that Microsoft's whole philosophy these days is about taking features away. How long before it's metro only and no more desktop version? How long before they change the skin and add the childish ribbon to it? They do what they want and are oblivious to what users have to say but there's always the older version and 5.66 is pretty good.

i'd prefer to use 5.666 instead of 5.66 if that's all that's left.

that's an interesting question. I almost never burn cds, but I tried to make a couple for my parents this week and instead created two coasters. I switched to nero and all was well, so maybe there is an intrinsic winamp problem?PENN STATE Radio or http://www.LION-Radio.org/

I cooked a few CDs just before Xmas for the girlfriend. FLAC to CD-R. Not sure if she has tried playing them - I'll BBM her and ask. I know I didn't get any errors up after burning.
The CD-Rs were burnt for the same reason - easier to use in a car. Especially as the GF is not an IT geek so prefers real CDs to digital audio files.
Edit: Just had confirmation from GF that the CDs I burnt playback fine in the car. She has tested two out of three so far without troubles. Winamp CD burning behaving fine for me.

I was on a newish dell xps desktop and when I tried to burn the mp3s to cd (redbook style) via winamp it borked twice at the very start of the process making coasters. did the same files via nero, np.PENN STATE Radio or http://www.LION-Radio.org/

I thought CD Text has been in there for a while, but you need a CD Player that supports it. (Guess the burner needs to too). My burning done on a Pioneer DVD Writer (DVR-215D) using some random no-name CD-Rs. Never seen a coaster spat out.
Personally I don't cook MP3 to CD-R if I can avoid it due to the lossy nature of the source files. Can't see any reason the source format would be a problem here. Maybe just something fussy between Sonic and your Dell as they are often fairly generic drives in PCs like that.

Thanks God the final version is still available for download
What can I say about Winamp, during the last 16 years my musical preferences have widely changed, but I could always resort to goold ol' Winamp to play them :'-(
Thanks to all the developers, testers, skinners and all the other involved with Winamp
