Новая тестовая версия популярного медиа-плеера Winamp. Как и всегда, новая версия несет множество улучшений и исправлений. Особо отмечу появление нового скина под названием Bento (для активации нужно выбрать в настройках), окошко Album Art, объединенный в одно окно редактор файлов.
Безоговорочный лидер среди аудио-плееров, программа, название которой является синонимом слова MP3 уже многие годы. Отличное качество звучания, поддержка всех популярных медиа-форматов (в том числе и видео), интернет-радио и TV, риппинг и запись CD, плагины, скины… И все-все-все такое прочее.
Существует 3 версии. Кардинальные отличия: Lite — просто плеер; Full — пишет и риппает аудио-CD только на восьми скоростях; Pro — пишет и риппает аудио-CD на максимально возможной скорости.
