Happy New Year from the Winamp Team! We are so excited about the coming year and the plans we have. 2009 for us is a year of change and opportunity. We plan to add new features to both the Winamp Client and website in the coming year that will significantly improve the experience for users and will expand the tools available to developers to create custom versions and extensions of Winamp. We feel that this will be one of the most significant years of growth for the product and hope that you will follow our progress and upgrade to the newest versions with as much excitement as we will have in releasing them.

I personally have learned so much about Winamp in the last couple of months. You see... I am new to the team and my role as Executive Director is to manage the product and technical teams to bring new features and services to the Winamp community. I have worked with the team to design an aggressive roadmap that will serve our users and developers in new and better ways. I will be posting on the blog from time to time to bring you updates on the state of the roadmap and other Winamp initiatives.

One of the greatest assets of Winamp is you and the other members of the Winamp community, both users and developers alike, and we want your voice to be heard. In addition to watching the Winamp forums and comments on this blog, we have added direct feedback links to this Blog, Winamp.com, the Winamp client and dev.winamp.com. Please use them. While we may not be able to respond directly to all feedback, we DO read it all. We have already collected a lot of great ideas, keep 'em coming.

More to come soon...
Best, Geno

2. its been quite a while since the last release, if its a choice between:

1. fewer but more major releases, and
2. more freq but incremental releases

i'll take 2 every time. personally i'd like to see the bugs get worked out before anymore new features get added.

3. My comment, request. -Not the 1st time I've pecked on this.
Winamp needs the ability to support login for paid podcasts. I have several premium podcasts that I can not download within Winamp because Winamp simply does not support the login required for downloading podcasts that require a login. Itunes and MediaMonkey do. Make it so. Thank You. :)
