Dangerous WinAmp flaw getting fixed
The security hole, found in the latest version of Winamp 5.12, could lead to malicious attackers taking remote control of a Winamp user’s system. Earlier versions of the media player may also be affected, Secunia said. The company posted version 5.13 of the media player online on Monday after Secunia and other security companies issued alerts about the problem. Malicious software exploiting the “extremely critical” flaw was already circulating on the Internet. This exploit is available on many public sites and there are also more effective private versions, so every WinAmp’s user should install this new version.
Even though the security company gave the vulnerability its highest rating for software threats, it noted that the number of people who use Winamp has declined over the years, so the scope of the problem is not as large as it once might have been. “Winamp used to be the world’s most popular MP3 player and is still quite popular, but as Windows Media Player has gotten better, some users have migrated over,” said Thomas Kristensen, Secunia’s chief technology officer. Anyway, I’m still loyal to old good WinAmp 2.95…

I update versions as they come… But I don’t like the new skins… Winamp should atleast have the same shape, and not as a football, cola-bottle or any other shape

Winamp 2.95 is the ultimate program 
newer version´s are crap :/
2.95 FTW !
Winamp might regain marketshare if they stopped bundling the player with the AOL toolbar and the rest of their bloated spyware crap.
Hey Winamp! Hope the money these 3rd party a$$hats are paying sustains you in your rapid slide to obsolescence.
