Download Winamp 5.2 final

There are download links on the Winamp forum this afternoon appeared to the final version of the 5.2 series. This release can be downloaded in various versions, including the Pro-, fulland Lite version. Winamp could only play music files in its early years. At the time it was one of the most well-known programs that could play mp3s in a decent way. Now, several years later, the programmers are developing the Winamp 5 series. The 5 branch is characterized by the plugin support of 2.x and the skin engine of 3.x. At the moment Winamp is a complete media player: not only music files can be played, but it is also possible to watch movies and listen to various radio streams. The 5.2 series has been worked hard on new features and bug fixes in recent weeks, including improved plugins that are included as standard. The installation procedure has also been overhauled and provided with new options. The full changelog looks like this:
