Wish the new Version would be released...

Hi,

I would like the new version to be released, cause the Vista bugs (Files with long names don't open correctly by double-click from explorer) are fixed since weeks, if I can believe tha bug-report...
At the moment Winamp is nearly unusable for me, I always have to drag&drop the files.....
So why don't release??? Even an 5.36alpha would be better for Vista-users, than the 5.35....


Thanks Thomas

Don't release unfinnished stuff please. It's better to wait some more days and get a better build than get it now and full of bugs.

mmm... also the "C" release (after alfa,beta) have bugs

release alfa/beta release is useful to test and find more and more bugs...

5.35 is buggy! And the Versions after will be buggy too....

But the real problem is, that the bug I mentioned makes Winamp nearly unusable for Vista-users-->many users.
This is why I can't understand why not release. Vista is out since 8 months. Its not one of the bugs most users never recognize, its one of these that frustrade me every fifth file-click....

So please have a heart and release a Version without this bug. Call it alpha, call it beta, call it 5.352. Doesn't matter except this bug has gone...

Winamp is the best mp3-player in my opinion and I wanna use it again.

You know, you're right, there hasn't been much teasing.

I wonder what might cause that? Perhaps the changes aren't just a casual list of updates and bug fixes? Who knows.

As far as an alpha, its way past alpha stage. I call for a public Omega!
