We've still not replaced CD Burning Engine/Interface (which still works in 5.666) or Gracenote features (cddb, autotag, playlist generator) - therefore those features are currently non-existent.
We've replaced CD playback engine plus mp3, aac, mpeg-4 and h.264 decoding Using MF / MFTs means no additional licensing is required and therefore we can keep Winamp free. Unfortunately though, as I said, it relies on Media Foundation which only comes with Vista and later.ĪAC, MPEG-4 pt.2 & H.264 support all rely on Windows MF. (which is also used by in_mp4, in_mkv, in_avi, in_flv, in_nsv) aac files, but via winamp\system\aacdec.w5s Radionomy couldn't use the same license, so we decided to use opensource libmpg123 for mp3 and system WMF decoder for aac instead. things AOL paid for, that were licensed to AOL, and iirc needed paying for on a regular basis, so therefore needed to be covered by the Pro payments.įraunhofer mp3 & aac decoders weren't ongoing payments, but were exclusively licensed to AOL for use in Winamp. So a huge thank you in advance and of course, THANK YOU for continuing support on this great thing of software!!!!!Īll mp3 patents expired and lame_enc.dll 3.99.5 is included in the package.īy "former Pro-licensed features", it means Sonic CD Engine, Gracenote (cddb, MusicID, etc), mpeg-4 / h.264 decoding, mp3 encoding (encoder was free, but the patents hadn't expired). I think those questions have been discussed in one or the other way in this thread already (yes of course, I read it before asking!), but unfortunately I think those questions haven't been exactly answered as yes or no. aac files?Īnd last question: will it run on XP SP3 still (I don't use Video decoding in Winamp), but can I listen to. So, is MP3 encoding possible with this version?Īnd next question: does the new mpg123 decoder still support raw. Does that mean also MP3 encoding (which I used a lot) has been removed? Actually, there shouldn't be any license issues for MP3 encoding since you use the free LAME encoder (instead of Fraunhofer) and those patents all are expired. was on vacation and didn't expect that!!Īs a winamp user since 2000 I only can say: cool!!!!īut I have some questions before I will try to install this one: you say that all former "Pro" versions have been removed.
