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.

What works
Almost everything, that I know of.
Specifically, MP3's work flawlessly, and there are no problems with the interface.
What does not
No known limitations due to Wine.
Workarounds
What was not tested
I only currently have MP3's, so I could not test FLAC, MIDI, WAV, OGG, or WMA, the other supported formats.
However, Puppy 4.3.1 cannot mount audio cd's, so I can't test that.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
Alt-tabbing does not focus the window, but the taskbar does.

For optimal experience using application install the following DLLs from winetricks:
-comctl32
-directmusic
-directplay
-directx9 (Overkill but helps in the long run)
-gdiplus
-ie8 (For web browser functionality)
-mfc42
-vcrun6
OR run:
winetricks comctl32 directmusic directplay directx9 gdiplus ie8 mfc42 vcrun6
If
you use the modern skin you might need to enlarge the main window for
the media library to show up.
