Reviewed by: CNET Staff
WinAmp 5.3 took some long-needed steps to improve the old-school media player, with support for AAC encoding, CD burning, and a robust file-management system. WinAmp 5.5 ups the ante with strong support for portable devices, including iPods, the ability to sync non-DRMed files to your PC from your device, an optional new interface layout and a built-in browser for media discovery.
We liked that clicking on an artist's name will get you related headlines and Web sites in a separate pane. There's also Podcast support, device synchronization that lets you tweak the sync list while in progress, and continued support for AOL's excellent Shoutcast. The new Bento layout is worth mentioning, too, because it gets the venerable llama away from the old modular format. The joined panes for the browser, media player, artist list, album list and more make WinAmp instantly more visually appealing.
If you want MP3 encoding and full-speed CD burning, you have to shell out $24.95 for the Pro version. However, there are other problems. Support for album art is spotty. All of our attempts to download new art through the program failed. More seriously, there are some stability issues when playing videos, and occasional program crashes were far more common than they should be.
WinAmp 5.5 is no iTunes killer--not yet. It has become, however, a strong alternative and should be of interest to those looking for something with more meat on its bones. Llama meat, that is.
Publisher's description
From Nullsoft :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. 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. 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.
Version 5.35 added new features wherein you can enjoy music, video, & online radio with iPod and other devices and customize with skin and plug-ins.
