Iznācis Winamp 5.8

Pavisam klusu un neoficiāli iznācis atjauninājums leģendārajam audio atskaņotājam Winamp –  winamp58_3653_beta_full_en-us.exe. Faktiski fails datēts ar 2016. gada oktobri, bet publiskā apritē nokļuvis tikai tagad. Par slepenību nav jābrīnās: 2013. gadā Winamp izstrādātāju kompāniju Nullsoft pārdeva amerikāņu korporācijai AOL, kura vēlāk to nopārdeva beļģu firmai Radionomy. Kā zināms, ar autortiesību īpašniekiem ir tāpat kā ar suni uz siena kaudzes  – pats neēdīs, bet citiem neparko nedos.  Mūsu gadījumā Radionomy par  atjauninājumu neko nezin.

Tātad ko var teikt par Winamp 5.8? Vispirms – tas ir padarīts saderīgs ar jaunākajām OS versijām Windows 10 un 8.1. No aplikācijas izvāktas nevajadzīgas lietas kā Pro funkcijas, DRM aizsardzība utml. Īpašniekdekoderi MP3, AAC, H.264 un MPEG4 aizstāti ar atbilstošu Open Source programmatūru. Jāpiebilst, ka laidiens skaitās beta un var saturēt kļūdas. Tāpēc uz produktīvām sistēmām to lietot nevajadzētu. Lejuplāde testēšanai – šeit (7.97 MB).
