posted in Utility Release by groat on Oct 2nd, 2001

A new version of Winamp has been released, version 2.77. New to this release:
  • mb.ini skin support (Winamp/MBOpen)
  • added page and slider for 'shuffle morph rate' to Preferences so you can control how much the playlist morphs (mutates) each time it cycles through.
  • PP's ACM disk writer output plug-in instead of the classic one
  • PP's WAV/VOC reader (Which is apparently so much better, but we will see)
  • included new in_midi and in_mod (yay)
  • made playlist editor automatically size down when necessary (on startup)
  • made drag&drop playlist URLs work
  • made alt+delete work again in playlist editor
  • made winamp.exe and winampa.exe both much less likely to fudge HKCR/.
  • fixed drag&drop in vis areas
  • made Winamp handle language packs that lack strings and/or dialogs better
  • made physical file remover ask you for every file, to prevent disasters
  • fixed issues with using a large number of input plug-ins and extensions in open box (I think)
  • fixed a small "bug" in the id3 editor of in_mp3
  • fixed the frame count bug in id3 editor of in_mp3
  • made general purpose plug-in uninstall capability.
  • new hyper-leet desktop icon on new installs of full version.
  • removed Mjuice support from full version.
  • tinyvis 2001 v2.04
