Winamp 5.9 final released

Today, Winamp 5.9 Final Build 9999 was released after four years of development since version 5.8 was leaked online.

"This is the culmination of 4 years' work since the 5.8 release. Two dev teams, and a pandemic-induced hiatus period inbetween," reads the release notes for Winamp 5.9 Final.



The Winamp devs also plan on some new features for version 5.91, listed below:

Still ToDo (5.9.1 and beyond)
- Add native support for more formats (e.g. opus, ogv/ogm, TS, dash/iso6, H.265, HLS, VP9, etc.)
- Replace old Gracenote features (CDDB, Autotag, etc) with e.g. MusicBrainz or MusicStory
- Maybe restore a working NowPlaying service ?
- Add more default services to ml_online view (Lyrics, Jamendo, Hotmix, YT, Bandcamp, Spotify, etc.) ?
- More multithreading & progress dialogs for "Send To" features (e.g. send large ML view to a Playlist)
- Config for in_mod & out_wasapi
- View File Info dialog for in_mod
- Tons more :-)

Still got the llama intro sound or not?
