As much as it disappoints me to hear this, I can't say I contributed to its continued success. When my "next on stop" (thanks DrO!) plugin stopped working, I reverted to an older version of Winamp. I then downloaded the newest installer, and manually updated all the plugins (making sure Winamp still worked each time). So, I'm using an older version, with all the newest (at the time) plugins. I'll probably do that again with this final update.

Winamp, thanks. You were my first real music player (I started using it around 1999-2000). You will be missed.

(to be fair, I use Rockbox a lot more than Winamp these days)

Mouser X over and out.

@DrO: Do you think the patch will make it in time before the demise?
by DrO at 8:35 AM EST on November 25, 2013
Elven: i really do not know what will happen with it.

Mouser: that plug-in is known not to work 100% with newer Winamp releases - is one of the few i never updated when i was last out of work in 2010 though seems like i've free time coming up, so may finally get around to it...

looks like we're going to be able to do a quick patch release...
by DrO at 7:14 AM EST on November 26, 2013
there's a v5.666 build out now which has the patches in it.

Thanks again DrO!

I've put up r1017 that backs out the bad workaround of r1016, also is a bit more careful when hitting the end of its buffer.

Hail Satan!

coo, good to know it's had another person give it a test to check it's ok.

PRAISE DRO!!!!

Dude fixed Winamp at the seemingly last minute!

Next, your Webpage. There's a TON of 404's the way it's written. Pity, was hoping to try out that in_zip plugin of yours... ;)

that's because i removed everything back in february and only started bringing things back in september but a Winamp release got in the way so only a few things are restored at the moment (as per the home page note ;o) ).

Thanks DrO for getting the patch in on time! (Love the version number by the way)
Also one question if you don't mind, the website still shows a Pro version but doesn't allow anyone to buy it as "the store is closed". Does this mean Pro is never available ever again and only those who had it at the time can ever have it?

And Thanks to hcs for updating VGMStream again to remove the workaround.
@hcs: Will you be still maintaining the Winamp plug-in for VGMStream or are you planning on starting it in another plug-in format?
