(will be added to ui in 'Prefs -> Playback -> ReplayGain' later)
replaygain_preamp=0 (in 0.001 dB units, i.e. 1000 = 1dB, adjust value to taste, e.g. 6000 for 6dB boost or -1000 for -1dB reduction)

Winamp Dropbox is an alpha plugin. Use Ctrl+Shift+D to open.
Its actual purpose is still a bit of a mystery, but all shall be revealed in good course...

Skinning Engine Improvements

Well, I've fixed various time bugs, so skinners are now free to use an ELAPSED or REMAINING Time mode.
Moreover we've added support for Stringtables in XML, so you can unify the Strings in your skin, for a better translation. We will continue w/ this for the next release so the whole skinning engine for modern/bento is driven by stringtables and you can adopt those strings for translation of your skin.
Besides I've worked on List objects: They can have now icons on the left side and a transparent or stretched background.

The whole changelist can be taken from this thread:

German Translation

The German translation now features full localized images for the Modern Skin, big thanks to Pawel Porwisz for drawing the images.

It's also based on latest Winamp 5.54 example file, which provides a much more complete translation especially for the Modern Skins, And it has a fully localized MilkDrop translation and tons of tweaks.

I hope you like it.

Completely false-positive. The Winamp installers at this site contain absolutely NO trojans/viruses/malware.

Report the false-positive to Avast and have them make corrections on their end.

[/usr/bin/Tux]

So what does this bundle3.exe actually do? Sth like adware?

[Koopa]

Probably just one of these bundles, like eMusic or Winamp toolbar. So no real adware and if you don't hit "next" as fast as possible in the installer, you never will see it.

[DJ Egg]

Yup, bundle3 is emusic (on the "get the most out of winamp" page).

There's definitely no virus in it, so you should report it to avast as a false-positive.

[/usr/bin/Tux]

OK, I will.
But maybe you should also provide some downloads without that stuff in them...

[hmhofman]

Trojans

I can't even download the file without stopping the virusscan!

So i checked the features list.
Lite version does not only strip the emusic and other bundles, it strippes almost everything.

Seems I'm bound for another player...

[/usr/bin/Tux]

Well... disable the Web Access Protection for now, so did I...
