WOW! Another great release!
The windowshade mode fix was something that I wanted to mention, but I thought it was too miniscule to do so. Thanks for changing it back!

[Kn0tte]

Heh, you are awaiting me? :P
What can I say? A GOOD RELEASE

Though I wonder why was this changed to 5.541, and not 5.55 which the beta said? :P

We have a saying here... "Never look a gift Llama in the mouth!"

If you are not happy, I am sure that the Devs can change it back to the way it was before.

[Kn0tte]

Juanus: I just asked, ok? Its fine for me.

Now lets go Winamp'ing here!

Look at Egg's first post above, Kn0tte...

Winamp 5.541 is essentially a maintenance release.

Road-test it hard Kn0tte (as usual).
We're looking forward to your input, as always.

Essentials Pack links above were updated to fix an issue in license file and it now includes an updated Russian language file.

On the contrary - at times you bring up some valid points and at other times, I get a "kick" out of your responses/replies.

But I am glad to hear that you think Winamp 5.541 is the best release/version ever made (so far).

Bug? Just upgraded to this version (did an upgrade install, not clean). after the upgrade i opened winamp, then i double-clicked a m3u file from my torrent client and it launched a second instance of winamp even though I do not have 'allow multiple instances' checked in winamp options.

If you are running Vista, you will experience this problem immediately after installing. Close Winamp and re-open via the start menu (not winamp agent in the system tray) and all should be OK.

This is part of Vista's new security scheme and a byproduct of requiring administrator privileges for installation.

No luck for me, 5.541 still uses +100MB of Ram at an idle state.
