This will be the first post in what I hope will be more frequent updates to the news, covering a wider variety of issues, including software releases, etc. Let's get those submissions coming!

Winamp 2.77:
* mb.ini skin support (Winamp/MBOpen)

control how much the playlist morphs (mutates) each time it cycles
through.
* PP's ACM disk writer output plug-in instead of the classic one
* PP's WAV/VOC reader (Which is apparently so much better, but we will see)

* made playlist editor automatically size down when necessary (on startup)
* made drag&drop playlist URLs work
* made alt+delete work again in playlist editor

Vorbis by default will be in 2.8
You can grab it here: http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/ (http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/)
(from Winamp beta page)
Things coming in 2.78 (or later):
* PP's title code for in_mp3
* CDDB2 support
* Fhg VBR tag reading (hopefully)
* Vorbis plug-in
they're checking some legal issues (no idea what's wrong)
zZzZzZz:
Where did you find that beta page? Maybe I'm just missing something stupid, but I couldn't find it on winamp.com, or nullsoft.com anywhere (including the developer area).

eliteism ? yes.
eliteism ? yes.
What a strange thing to be elitist about.
Took the words out of my mouth.
<shrug> I was just hoping to learn some more and help out with it a bit. I've spent a good deal of time in bugzilla for the wa3 alpha, so I figured I'd lend some time to wa2 as well.
Hopefully wa3 beta will appear soon, and I can put more work into finding problems and making sure the bugs I found have been worked out (as I've been told).

Thanks Wizard. Such posts are much more helpful than someone trying to be "r33t".
