Notes

The Pro & Full installers are the same for this release (No OpenCandy/Emusic/AOLSearch/Toolbar).

This is the best release of Winamp ever, imo, but let's just hope & pray that it's not the last...

However, this will be the last AOL/Nullsoft release of Winamp :-(
See the download page for more info.

A big thank you to all our users, former team members, beta testers, moderators, translators, skinners,
plugin developers, preset & color theme designers, community members, everyone... for everything...

_______________________________________________________________________________


Known Issues

Some mp3 files might cause Winamp to crash.
If you experience this issue, then please use in_mp3.dll from build 3512 instead (Info | Download).

Weird black pixels on corners of Bento & Modern skin notifier. Fixed png files available here.

[DrO]

<place holder for DrO - more to come as things progress with this release>

There is currently no Essentials Pack update (have spent too much time working on the bug fixes, etc in v5.66 vs updating my own plug-ins) so in the coming day or two, there'll be an update for any of those plug-ins which were part of the old Essentials Pack whose functionality is now not natively part of v5.66.

So do keep an eye on this post and also http://nunzioweb.com/daz/releases.html for coming plug-in updates which will work well with this newer v5.66 release.

[martin.deimos]

...then let's download and conserve this release.

Thx for the great years w/ you!

[molecular]

Thank you.

Winamp - this is my first music player. I very like it. I started using it since 2000.

Sources Winamp will be available?

[Pawel]

Thanks for all this years... It was and it is the best media player all over the world.
I hope it will be developed by someone else... Just can not belive it is the end.
-Pawel

Edit: For all Polish Winamp Community.
Winamp PL will be always available on my site (http://www.pawelporwisz.pl/winamp/winamp.php). I hope my work was useful and using Polish version of Winamp was the best experience...
----------
Dziękuję wszystkim polskim użytkownikowm Winampa. Najnowsze tłumaczenie i inne usługi związane z Winampem znajdziecie zawsze na mojej stronie internetowej. Mam nadzieję, że moja praca jako oficjalny tłumacz oraz betatester była przydatna, a używanie Winampa w polskiej wersji językowej było najlepszym doświadczeniem.

[muppet]

Thanks for everything.
Can't believe it's over.
Appreciate all you've done, everyone, since I joined The Internet...

[Koopa]

I've tried to fix/tweak as much as possible in the German language pack.

The external language pack, Winamp Backup Tool and Winamp Info Tool will be always available from:

http://koopa.meggamusic.co.uk (as long as Egg is hosting it, hehe)

And I take my chance as well, thanks to DrO, Benski, Pawel, CraigF, Egg and all of the other people for all these years and moments. < 3.

[mnemo]

Thanks for everything. Been using Winamp for 10+ years now (even registered in the pre-AOL era).

[thinktink]

Dang.

Will this also scrap the SDK update?

[Legendarion]

What's the reason for the ending? Can't find any info about it.

[xfullmetal17]

I've a question... Will we still be able to use the Gracenote database to get track/album/artist info for CDs we rip? (album art isn't as huge an issue, as a simple Google Image search usually gets those).

[Sabine Klare]

A life without Winamp is not a life...

[DrO]

Will this also scrap the SDK update?

hopefully not, is still on my list of things to complete as part of the v5.66 release.

[Victhor]

Oh damn... so it finally happened.. have so many questions.. I hope someone can answer as much as possible:

01 - Why? Lack of developers? Lack of profit? Lack of interest from AOL?
02 - What happens to the source code? Is it available to be openly buyed? (for example, if I start a kickstarter campaign)
03 - What happens to the skins / plugins sections? I see they are still there but...
04 - What happens to the forums? Will there be any support in here at least? (well... this is sorta´ question like "DrO will you stay here and keep answering noobs and idiots questions?" haha)
05 - The download page says "Winamp.com and associated services will no longer be available.." does it mean Mac and Android version won´t be available too? Or that refers just to the "Winamp.com online service"? (from an Android phone "Winamp.com" only shows me the "Winamp for Mac" version..)
06 - ... (thinking)
07 - Will this be shamefully left as a mistery like the previous buy from AOL was? (only partially "discovered" a decade later by an Ars Technica article)

08 - If none of my previous questions can be answered, can I least know who to ask to? (PM is accepted..) I´m not interested in making it public, just for my peace of mind (yes I´m selfish, if you take my candy I NEED to know why! haha)
