"You can listen to the MP3s you may have at home, but also to the cloud, to podcasts, to streaming radio stations, to a playlist you perhaps have built.” Changes in Winamp 5.8įor those who are curious as to what has changed in this release, the full changelog is below: “There will be a completely new version next year, with the legacy of Winamp but a more complete listening experience,” Saboundjian stated in the interview. In an interview with TechCrunch, Radionomy CEO Alexandre Saboundjian, revealed that a massive release is planned for 2019 that aims to add cloud support for streaming music, podcasts, and more. Radionomy has stated that they are not stopping here and have big plans for Winamp. Big Winamp update scheduled for next year To increase the font size you can go into Options -> Preferences -> General Preferences -> Playlist and then change the font size to something like 15. If you have not used Winamp in a long time, though, one thing you may want to do is increase the font size as many of us who fondly remember Winamp may not have the best eyesight anymore. TechSupport: Simple OnlineEncoding files is stored in MP3 Lame 384 kbps.While Winamp still has some bugs it needs to resolve such as display issues, it will still remind you of the days of old and get you started listening to your MP3s again. Are OE encoded songs being encoded FROM a lossy codec file of the song TO another lossy codec file? If so, the music I have been downloading here isn't as high quality as I originally thought. But with OEEX and the option to encode from the original source I am now in doubt. What is the source used for music encoded with OE? i always assumed it was a lossless format, and I usually choose a high bit rate to capture a high quality copy. so ideally, i want to start downloading music from them in 384 kbps mp3 rather than have them convert it from that lossy format to another. so to buy music using their OE, while i can choose the format and bit rate, it will all be encoded from a source file of mp3 384 kbps. they do have an option to buy music encoded from the original cd source, but not all music is available this way, and the cost is double. the question and response from techsupport is below. It's not on their website anywhere that i can find for what source they use for their Online Encoding (OE), so i asked tech support. And an improvement in the MAD decoder for dMC/dAP which would enable it to play these files seems like a worthy wish.

Since some other programs are able to use the MAD decoder to convert or play these files, this is a bit surprising. Please note that according the the thread referenced above, the MAD decoder used in the current dMC and dAP beta versions reportedly will NOT read, convert, play these files. (Note: This reportedly does not work-see post *8 in this thread below). If you do try it, please let us know your results. However, I don't know for a fact that this will work or not. If this is true, it might be possible to use the WinAmp MAD plug-in, the dB WinAmp Input Adapter codec from Codec Central and dBpowerAMP Music Converter to convert these tracks.

Suggests that WinAmp with the MAD plug-in is able to read these files. The possible exception to this which one might try is that in aan faq section (referenced in this post in the above thread here: ) It appears that dBpowerAMP Music Converter cannot convert and that dBpowerAMP Audio Player (dAP) cannot play these files.
