The AchieVer Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Radionomy, the current owner of Winamp, promised further support for what was once the world’s leading multimedia player, but up to this point, the only thing we got was a small beta with no new features. In the meantime, an effort called Winamp Community Update Project, or WACUP, is supposed to provide us with a third-party port of Winamp 5.666 that would get more frequent updates. And today, the very first preview version becomes available for download with a bunch of improvements and lots of bug fixes. Now at version 1.0.0.3174, WACUP delivers the same familiar Winamp experience, and at the same time, it’s supposed to receive improvements and keep the famous media player alive for a little bit longer. Faster loading and improved performance This week’s release comes with support for Discord, as well as with a change that’s meant to help deal with missing files in library playlists in a more efficient manner. “Added initial support to indicate missing files in library playlists to complement the option for the main playlist editor (this will just show a cross before the playlist item number / title depending on settings instead of changing the background colour at this time),” the changelog reads, and you can find it in full in the box after the jump. When running this particular release, it’s pretty clear that not much has changed in WACUP from the familiar Winamp experience, but on the other hand, the application should run a bit smoother and load faster. Of course, these are all welcome improvements, but at the same time, there’s no doubt that more new features should be added very soon. Radionomy promised an overhaul of the current Winamp version in the course of 2019, but it remains to be seen when exactly the highly-anticipated release takes place. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
