Winamp Gets 10th Anniversary Update

Today at 10:00 AM EST, Nullsoft and AOL released the latest version of Winamp. The timing of the 5.5 release was deliberately chosen (10/10, 10:00) to commemorate the software's tenth year as a leading media player.

Some more features have been added to the popular utility, including a GraceNote powered instant playlist generator called "More Like This," as well as a feature that allows users to access their Winamp content through their next-generation game consoles.

A browser-embedded toolbar further helps users control Winamp from wherever they choose.

Since Nullsoft is a Time Warner commodity, advertising has taken a slightly more important role, with standard and customized advertising packages available directly through the Winamp media player.

Winamp 5.5 10th Anniversary Edition can be downloaded from FileForum.
