One of the stranger features in Winamp 5. I played around with the browser and it was fairly buggy, with some scripts being unable to run, and opening secondary browsers when clicking on links. There are plenty of better options when it comes to media players to use. Here are just a few of them. Is Winamp dead? Is Winamp safe? I tested Winamp in VirusTotal and the file came out clean.
But you will want to make sure that you download the software from the Winamp website. Does Winamp 5. Even though it was released before Windows 10, the program has no trouble running with Windows Can Winamp 5.
Can you listen to podcasts on Winamp 5. If the podcast has an RSS feed, you can load it to the Winamp player and new podcasts will be available as they are released. Acquired by AOL during that Internet frenzy we suffered at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, it soon became one of the best and most popular music players for PC that stood out not only due to this function but also for its customization possibilities thanks to its skins as well as its extensions that allowed us to adapt its functioning to our needs.
And although its latest stable version was released in and it has been sentenced to death, it's still surviving in a context in which anything offline seems to be doomed. Listen to and manage your music collection, play videos, and listen to the radio on the Internet. These are the functions included by default in the latest version. They've been gradually included version after version, moving on from the simplicity of the old 0. As we said a few lines above, one of the most acclaimed functions of this player can be found in its customization options.
It allows the installation of plug-ins by means of which we can change its appearance as well as being able to add new features that expand its functions, such as equalizers with default audio presets. Another interesting aspect is that it's not only about playing local media, as it makes the most of its connectivity functions to play your music collection from any other computer by means of the Remote option, as well being able to tune into online radio stations that broadcast exclusively for this software.
These will be added to a playlist with all matching qualities, and you can look at them later. While this is a cool feature, some may find it unnecessary.
One of Winamp's signature features is still around: Equalization or EQ. Is your music sounding a little muddy? Try pulling down the K range. Is it too boomy? Pull out some of the low-end bass down at and below. Turn up the treble and presence ranges up at 12K and 14K to add a bit of sparkle as well.
You can listen to radio and podcasts on Winamp. The only problem with this is that you have to download a Shoutcast file for each of the stations. Most of these files are corrupted on arrival and will not play. Winamp is currently working on the podcasts section to let users listen to their subscriptions. Nothing indicates that this feature actually works. Next to the Visual tab, there is a built-in browser that lets you surf the web while listening to music. Although a little slow, the browser does work.
You can sign in to your Google account or email just like you would on Chrome or Firefox. The problem with the built-in browser is more about its relevance. Winamp is meant as an audio player, not an internet browser. This feature feels more like an attempt by developers to see whether or not they could achieve a goal rather than an intelligently informed design decision.
Winamp allows you to sync files from your phone or any smart devices. This essentially lets you transfer media from an external drive to Winamp and stores them in associated folders. Winamp has abandoned all of its former simplicity to go all out on modern utilities.
Nowadays, playing anything offline is a little less mainstream. With all the advanced features, though, Winamp may be able to convince users otherwise. They are much simpler and easier to use than Winamp. Convenience is the key, and most people still like having access to everything in one place.
The newest version of the app, Winamp 5.
