We're proud to announce the Beta launch of our new Online Services Developer Program. This new program allows developers to build great web experiences that can be accessed by the +70MM monthly Winamp client users.

The program is currently in Beta, but we've provided you with everything you need to get started developing your own Online Service for Winamp. Check out the Winamp Developer Network for the latest documentation and downloads that you'll need.

Once you've developed your service, it's just a few quick steps to submit the service to Winamp. Once approved, your service will be added to the Online Services Gallery, where millions of Winamp users will have access to your service.

This is just the beginning of this program. We look forward to your feedback and seeing the great Online Services that you'll develop. If you have any questions about the program, we recommend you check-out the Online Services Program Forums.


A little grooming and maintenance can go a long way!

And that's exactly what we did with today's release of Winamp 5.541. We gave the Llama a little love by adding some great improvements & key bug fixes. I wanted to take this chance to thank everyone for their feedback on the blog & forums. Special thanks to all of the beta testers! We appreciate all the input & feedback.

Below are some Winamp 5.54 highlights:

* Improved AOL Radio navigation
* Improved commerce (Buy Now) results
* New Artist level commerce feature
* New iPod auto-detection feature
* Numerous usability improvements to 'Now Playing'
* Various enhancements & bug fixes for the client & web pages


One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
