Download Winamp 5.7 build 3402 beta 8

The eighth 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 h264 compression, among other things.
