Winamp 6, the need

So we've had a great winamp 5 for several years now, but Winamp 5 is stagnating. It's been months that we've had 5.33, and frankly 5.33 has made 5.3 bearable. But alot of work can be done.

Somethings i think winamp needs that it doesn't have now, are surround support/extension. Why can't winamp filter 2ch stereo into 5.1 ch internally, sure there are plugins, but they don't work on vista x64.

How about fixing the vista issues for winamp 6. Good reason to have a new version number.

Have the media library remember it's last state. And declutter it, even on a 1680x1050 screen i don't have enough real estate to really manage a library.

Add native AC3 support.

Implementing the UI in openGL instead of GDI or GDI+. Vista would be happy about this.

Make full screen video controls more Quicktime/WMP11 like.

Universal keyboard controls across windows, why can't i seek with right arrow in media library and i can in playlist and main window?


And fix the regression errors. Once you fix a bug, keep it fixed.

Maybe some of those are stupid and selfish, but it's a start. I'm just one guy, but i don't think winamp is as good as it can be, and the community deserves a winamp 6.
