Download Winamp 5.7 build 3392 beta 7

The seventh beta release of Winamp version 5.7 has become available. This media player can be downloaded in different variants. The Lite version can only play music files; the Full version also allows viewing video files and listening to Shoutcast broadcasts. Furthermore, the Full version has a media library and can be used to rip CDs. Finally, there is the Pro version, which costs 15.50 euros. The Pro version allows you to encode files, burn CDs and play video files with h.264 compression, among other things.

New in version 5.7, of which only the Full version can be downloaded as a beta release, is Winamp Cloud. With this service it is also possible, for example, from a android device access your music. Furthermore, it is possible to start Winamp in safe mode and the integration with Windows 8 and multimonitor environments has been improved. The changelog for this release looks like this:
