Download Winamp 5.03

The latest version of the media player is available on the Winamp forum to download† The program is capable of playing common media formats. Like the previous releases, this release can also be downloaded in three different flavors. The Lite version has been stripped of all bells and whistles, and only supports MP3 playback, the classic skin, and Winamp2 plugins. The Full variant includes a bunch of features not found in the stripped-down version, such as ripping and burning songs, visualizations and the modern skin. In addition, there is also the bundled download which is the same as Winamp Full, but has the Spitting Games game as an extra. Finally, there is also the Pro version for registered users. Below is the changelog of 5.03:
