Nullsoft Winamp 2.23 New Features and Additions Ben Durbin
Those are some of WinAmp’s basic features that we’ve looked at. Our last review of WinAmp on WinPlanet was version 1.92. Since then there have been many changes, added features and built-in support. With all of the new support, bug fixes, and better and easier-to-use features, WinAmp is making sure to keep up with all the new MP3 players and pushing ahead. This is made evident by the numerous patch releases within the past two months.
In the past couple of updates, some of the things that were added:
Nitrane 1.60 MPEG audio decoder with MMX and 3DNow! acceleration
MikMod module decoder plug-in version 1.3
Self-destructing streaming dialog boxes
Equalizer presets included
Cosmetic fixes
SHOUTcast 1.1 support
Improved WMA Support
Audiosoft secure ASFS support
Lots of bug fixes and stability improvements
Windows Media Technology 4.0 (WMT4) input/output support
All new better-sounding, industry standard Fraunhoffer MP3 decoder
Generic PCM EQ that works on most formats (WAV/XM/MOD/IT/VQF/AAC/etc)
Recursion in open directory dialog is now optional
Windowshade mode for Equalizer
Improved CDDA support
Minibrowser improvements (new start page, etc)
New version checking.
