Re: Winamp 5.1 Surround Edition Ready for Download

woot!

[Squadman]

Holy crap is this real!!!

What's with the Surround Edition? I'm downloading now.

[msanto]

Is this the 5.1 that was available the other day on BetaNews and then pulled? Your front page still lists 5.09 as the current ... is this the latest?

[Squadman]

Yeah, is it the version that was pulled? Because it's usually DJ Egg, that announces new versions...

[Benski]

DJ Egg is too busy playing Grand Theft Auto

[inthegray]

dj egg was off doing something else, so i stole his usual glory.

this version has fixes and changes that weren't applied to the unofficial "5.1" that was leaked earlier this week.

[YtseJam]

Like what?

[drewbar]

Changes that means you will have to download it again.
Poor dial up users.

[Squadman]

Well, this is the first time i've downloaded it. So lucky me.

It really does suck for dial up users like me. The size has increased dramatically. 6.1MB now.

EDIT: Just installed it. It's quite nice. I'm loving the new visualizations in Milkdrop. A lot of it I don't use, mostly because i've never used the Media Library for anything.

Great work guys, thanks. Keep it coming. But again, why's it called Surround Edition?

EDIT 2: I can't seem to un-install the DSP/Effect plugin that comes with Winamp. I don't use it for anything. But whenever I click un-install, it just, moves back to none.

EDIT 3: Ok, nothing a clean install and restart couldn't fix.

I'm happy now, thanks guys!

nice work :P

I don't use Winamp 5.1's Media Library (I use Joonas' Dynamic Library plug-in instead).

I would like an option in Winamp's preferences to configure the 'Winamp Lithening bolt' (1) to 'MusicMagic Mix' (2) a song...

FYI: I used musicmagic mixer previously, and i was able to copy/paste my default.m3lib and log.txt(rename it to logex.txt) to the musicmagic plugin folder and it worked fine...as far as i can tell.

[tuckerm]

it also fixed my shoutcast DSP problems (unrelated to other bugs btw) and it doesnt crash when i close it

[DrO]

Squadman: it's a play on 5.1 since Surround sound output requires a 5.1 audio system (it's sad computer geekness that some of us behind the scenes said would be lost on people )
