Software Update: Winamp 5.01

Version 5.01 can be downloaded from the Winamp homepage. This program is capable of playing media files such as mp3, mp2, mpeg, avi and m2v. The new release is available as full version and in a lite edition† The lite version is only equipped with support for Winamp 2 plug-ins, mp3 and the classic skin. In contrast, the full version is equipped with all the bells and whistles. Below you will find the changes compared to the final version:
