Doesn’t Winamp use GraceNote? I don’t think it’s part of Winamp as other 
rippers use it too.

 I'm sure the auto tag function wi9ll work, since it uses another unrelated
 service that other systems use.

 Here's something else I'm wondering about, besides where to get Winamp
 Pro.
 I wonder if the auto tag function will work after December 20?  I hope
 it will, since I use it to tag songs.  I guess we'll see what happens.

Winamp Shutting down on December 20, 2013

2013-11-20 Thread Steve Pattison

Hi all,

the following information is taken from the Winamp home page at 
www.winamp.com:


Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past
December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be 
available for download. Please download the latest version before that date.


end of article.

If you want to get the latest version which is now 5.66 I'd strongly 
encourage you to download it while you can! A direct link to the file is at


http://tinyurl.com/kkxgont

It is not known if Winamp will still function normally after it is no 
longer being developed. It is certainly popular in the blind community.


Below are the changes in version 5.66:

* Improved: Added a Reset button to clear history in the Open/Add URL dialog
* Improved: Added an option to disable the mouse wheel from altering the 
volume
* Improved: Added more commandline switches (run: winamp.exe /? to see 
full list)
* Improved: All menus now use the skinned style when option is enabled 
in ML settings
* Improved: Disable all online features when no internet connection 
selected in Prefs
* Improved: High DPI  text scaling compatibility fixes for dialogs  
library views

(instead of 64)
* Improved: Library views now optionally group the 'Play' and 'Enqueue' 
buttons
* Improved: Mass metadata editor from library now also available in 
Playlist Editor
* Improved: Retry UAC prompt if user previously selected No (for 
relevant settings)

* Improved: Speed-up of Winamp shutdown process
* Improved: [gen_ff] Added a setting to control show/hide time for 
docked toolbars

* Improved: [gen_ml] Drag  drop handling tweaks
* Improved: [ml_downloads] Added 'Size' column
* Improved: [ml_history] New options for resuming playback (for podcasts 
or all files)
* Improved: [ml_history] Added a 'Play Offset' column with right-click 
option to clear
* Improved: [ml_local] Added Podcast, BPM  Rating fields to Ctrl+E 
metadata editor
* Improved: [ml_playlists] Option to use source file instead of 
database-managed copy

* Improved: [ml_nowplaying/wire] Added support to use alternative services
* Improved: [ml_pmp] Added a simple view to match Local library support
* Improved: [pmp_android/usb] Added disc support to File Name Formatting
* Fixed: Agent not using Winamp window if a clone is already running 
(eg. KMPlayer)

* Fixed: Length not being read when set to read titles on load
* Fixed: Ratings-related freeze on right-clicking large selections in 
playlist editor
* Fixed: Saving to wrong extension for the 'Save As' action in the Alt+3 
Artwork tab
* Fixed: Unicode characters not displaying in taskbar when some old 
plugins are present
* Fixed: Various issues with aero-peek and docking of freeform skins as 
an appbar
* Fixed: [gen_jumpex] 'Jump to File' window not always visible when 
pressing 'J' or 'F3'
* Fixed: [gen_ff] Docking to bottom/right when windowframe scale is 
anything but 1.0

* Fixed: [gen_tray] Lockup/double-start issues when using the 'Prev' action
* Fixed: [in_flac] Removal of embedded artwork
* Fixed: [in_midi] Memory comparison crash with badly formed .kar files
* Fixed: [libmp4v2] Crash due to invalid pointer check on corrupt files
* Fixed: [pmp_android/usb] Crash on bad path
* Fixed: [pmp_android/usb] Use filename if no metadata available to 
generate filepath

* Misc: [installer] Added a Winamp (Safe Mode) option to start menu icons
* Misc: More general tweaks, improvements, fixes and optimizations (lots 
of them!)

* Updated: [enc_fhgaac] Fraunhofer AAC Encoder v3.02.16

This is from the Softpedia site:
Winamp will officially go dark next month
Winamp, once one of the most popular media players on the market, will 
be officially discontinued on December 20, 2013, due to yet to be 
disclosed reasons.
AOL announced the decision in a brief statement on the official 
Winamp.com website, saying that the webpage and the downloadable media 
player will be removed on December 20.

This is from the Softpedia site:
Winamp will officially go dark next month
Winamp, once one of the most popular media players on the market, will
be officially discontinued on December 20, 2013, due to yet to be
disclosed reasons.
AOL announced the decision in a brief statement on the official
Winamp.com website, saying that the webpage and the downloadable media
player will be removed on December 20.

Hi all,

the following information is taken from the Winamp home page at
www.winamp.com:

Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past
December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be
available for download. Please download the latest version before that 
date.


end of article.

If you want to get the latest version which is now 5.66 I'd strongly
encourage you to download it while you can! A direct link to the file is 
at


http://tinyurl.com/kkxgont

It is not known if Winamp will still function normally after it is no
longer being developed. It is certainly popular in the blind community.

Below are the changes in version 5.66:

* Improved: Added a Reset button to clear history in the Open/Add URL 
dialog

* Improved: Added an option to disable the mouse wheel from altering the
volume
* Improved: Added more commandline switches (run: winamp.exe /? to see
full list)
* Improved: All menus now use the skinned style when option is enabled
in ML settings
* Improved: Disable all online features when no internet connection
selected in Prefs
* Improved: High DPI  text scaling compatibility fixes for dialogs 
library views
* Improved: Increased notification area tooltips up to 128 chars
(instead of 64)
* Improved: Library views now optionally group the 'Play' and 'Enqueue'
buttons
* Improved: Mass metadata editor from library now also available in
Playlist Editor
* Improved: Retry UAC prompt if user previously selected No (for
relevant settings)
* Improved: Speed-up of Winamp shutdown process
* Improved: [gen_ff] Added a setting to control show/hide time for

Hi again.

Here's something else I'm wondering about, besides where to get Winamp Pro.
I wonder if the auto tag function will work after December 20?  I hope it
will, since I use it to tag songs.  I guess we'll see what happens.

I'm sure the auto tag function wi9ll work, since it uses another 
unrelated service that other systems use.
