no screen shot ?=D

you need a screenshot of winamp?

goto google image and type winamp

it always looks like that

Just to add on what fariz has said, WinAmp 5 always looks the same.

There's something called MAJOR release (for example from winamp 3 to winamp 5) and MINOR release (for example, from Winamp 5.2.5.787 Beta to WinAmp 5.25 843 Beta)

Minor release means minor changes like security fixes, performance improvement etc, you won't see 10 new buttons and totally different interface

I don't think winamp will change its classis interface..

If you want different looks, use winamp modern UI

Winamp 5.25 Build 857 Beta is out

Winamp 5.25 Beta, build 868

Winamp 5.25 Beta Full
Winamp 5.25 Beta Pro (asks for key during install)
Winamp 5.25 Beta Standard (same as Full but no ML or viz)
Winamp 5.25 Beta Lite

___________________________________________________________________


Changes between b857 and b868

* New: [ml_pmp] automatically sync your ml playlists with your portable device
* New: Core Media Library Components subcategory in the installer options
* Improved: [in_mp3] faster mp3 replay gain scanning
* Improved: Filenames now shown for Gen & ML plugins in Prefs
* Fixed: [ml_playlists] non-english filenames fix
* Fixed: [ml_disc] CD view right-click menu options
* Fixed: [ml_pmp] various fixes based on crash reports
* Fixed: [in_mp3] "Size: x bytes" data missing in File Info box
* Fixed: [in_mp4] msvcp71.dll dependency
* Fixed: a few reported typos in prefs
* Fixed: duplicate media library entries bug (unfortunately your old duplicate entries will still exist)

Known bugs/issues:
(will all be fixed for next build)
* ReplayGain Scanner is broken for .ogg (fixed in_vorbis.dll - download | info)
* The WMA encoder configuration is currently a mess. We added in Lossless, VBR & 1/2-pass options, but things are a bit quirky. The encoder itself *does* work, just it's really tough to configure :-)
* The small "Send Info" window that appears after installation is colored incorrectly.
* The installer says 'custom' instead of 'previous installation'
* The [filenames] for gen & ml plugins in Prefs should be preceded by two extra spaces (like on the other Prefs > Plugins pages). Also note that this breaks DrO's One For Nunz plugin, though a new fixed version of gen_nunzio is now available (for people using said plugin).
