winamp developing - alive or dead?

Does anyone know what's going on with winamp's developing? it's a half a year since they brought out their latest version 2.91 and a year since version 3...

Well, since that they made Winamp 2.95, released it and took it down, some people downloaded it and posted it on few sites, as usual. And actually they're making Winamp 5, the alpha version has been leaked again.

Now you know that Winamp either:
- have no firewall, so it's easy to get into their computers and download their pre-alpha releases and other projects
- have stupid developers who share their whole hard disks on p2p networks

Other than that, I don't know what's going on with winamp developing (or rather what's wrong with winamp developers), just that justin is really licking llama's ass.

Yeah...winamp 2.x is actually newer than winamp 3...

It's been less than 6 months since they released a verion of winamp 2 hasn't it?

yes, they did... Well they have a lot to fix in version 3 - it's slow and clumsy and falls alot...

I think that's why they gave up on it and aren't updating it.

dunno, many ppl do use it and develop skins and components...

I think because the program was so bad they stop the developement on it and have started to make winamp 5 which is similar but a lot quicker etc...should be good.

Where did u hear about that?? i thougth Kuranes was joking! even though he said version 6... anyway, what happened to version 4? anyway, i need proofs...

OK, I've checked it... It seems as if someone (doesn't have to be nullsoft) took the installer, added 2 new plugins, and changed the title to version 5... I'm not sure... it's still looks like a joke, even though i must say it caught the internet like hell, it's everywhere... Why nullsoft says nothing about it??
