What's new in Winamp 1.6 BETA?
* Plugin Architecture
* Visualization Plugins
* Simple test plugins (Analyser, Oscilliscope, VU meter)
* Fullscreen plugins (Analyser, Oscilliscope, Voiceprint, etc)
- requires DirectX3+ or NT4SP3
* Zygron's plugin library (some nifty effects)
* Trippy Visualization plugin (rotozooms/motionblurrs an image with the
music) - requires DirectX3+ or NT4SP3
* 3D Spectrum Analyser plugin (Jeff's) - requires DirectX5.
* DSP Plugins
* Simple Reverb/Echo
* Simple Voice Removal (not extremely advanced)
* Note: these plugins might not be that great, but it's open for other
people to write plugins (and us when we get more time), so it will
be pretty useful.
* Right-click context menus in main interface
* Improved ID3 tag editor w/ MPEG info display
* VU meter and eject button in windowshade mode
* Increased visualization accuracy
* Faster seeking
* More reliable HTTP streaming
* Limited support for Microsoft NetShow audio streams (mms://)

* HTTP streaming support
* New "Eject" button

What's new in Winamp since 1.40?
* Keyboard shortcuts for playlist editor (as requested)
* Ctrl+A: selects all
* Ctrl+N: selects none
* Ctrl+I: inverts selection
* Ctrl+L: loads playlist
* Ctrl+S: saves playlist
* Ctrl+O: sorts by title
* Shift+O: sorts by filename
* Ctrl+Shift+O: sorts by full filename (with path)
* Ctrl+R: randomize
* Ctrl+Shift+R: reverse
* Delete: deletes selected mp3s.
* Enter: plays (first) selecteed mp3
* Insert: inserts mp3s
* Shift+Insert: inserts directory
* Control+Insert: inserts playlists
* Super low latency low overhead buffering for some computers
* This lets my P5-133 use around 2% with ALL options on in Windows NT
(but only with my GUS pnp, it doesn't help my AWE32. huh)
* It isn't as skip-proof as normal buffering, so you will probably have
to give it some big priority boost in the preferences. But the performance
on some systems is amazing, the fastest I have EVER seen.
* Winamp is now 100% uncrippled nag-free Shareware that never expires.
* Registration for personal use is only $10.
