CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Nullsoft has a lot of ground to make up after the Winamp 3.0 debacle, a dwindling user base, and stiff competition from Apple iTunes. Winamp 5.3 was a huge step in the right direction, with support for AAC encoding, CD burning, and a robust file-management system. Finally.

Winamp 5.3.1 makes some small but effective changes to its predecessor. In addition to playlist syncing for portables and a More Info feature that shows information about the currently playing track, we get a more stable, less-crash-prone environment for MP3s and podcasts and CD-text-reading support. We also love the Internet TV feature, which provides some great music videos and live concert footage, although the Singing Fish search is rife with mislabeled files. Ostensible rock-concert footage turns out to be, on more than one occasion, unlabeled pornography.

Another eye-catcher is the excellent collection of visualizations. The massive catalog of Winamp 2.x and 3.x skins works with this new version. The free version is feature-rich, but if you want MP3 encoding and full-speed CD burning, you have to shell out $14.95 for the Pro version. Winamp is one of our all-time favorite players, though, and version 5 renews its promise.

Publisher's description

From the developer: ""An audio player supporting most kinds of format like windows media format, mp3 mp2. Now even has support for video files with higher sound quality and better sking plus visulaizations. All new prests and much much more.

""The system is built with its own SDK, and you get that source. Our SDK is composed of the very same source files used to build the main kernel, so they automatically work well together. It's license is BSD-style, so you can also modify the files as needed. When the main program's source files are improved and debugged, those changes are reflected in the next version of the SDK, and vice versa. And there is a lot of source in the SDK. You get high quality code to create generic windows, List Windows, Tree Windows, controls, bitmaps, rotations, etc. Some basic STL-like code is included as well, and lots of helper code to use the various system interfaces easily. Also, all our code that displays bitmaps communicates with the skin engine, so the more of it you use, the more automatically skin.""
