> With iTunes released, the rumors of winamp 5 comes through the grapevine. Apparently so many users revered from 3 back to 2 that they skipped 4 and went straight to 5. As I understand it… Winamp 5 has the power of 2 with the skinning of 3.

I installed it, pretty interesting features here. With the Winamp Pro 5 features, you will be able to rip directly from a CD to an MP3 (ACC or Lame mp3 capabilities).

Looking at the [winamp.com](http://winamp.com) site, you’ll not find one peep about Winamp 5 at all. Even in the developer section. It does exist though.
