I'm using Winamp v5.13 right now and its cool to listen to mp3s while sprucing up Excels and sending long winded emails to angry customers. Alas ! There's a new critical security vulnerability in the Winamps from versions 2.90 through 5.23 and its recommended you upgrade your Winamp to V5.24 just in case some hackers might use it to steal your secret files in the hard disk. Two earlier 2006 Winamp updates - including one labeled "extremely critical" by Danish vulnerability tracker Secunia in January - have been deployed to rid the player of security problems.
We have released Winamp 5.24 (21 June 2006)in order to fix a security vulnerability that has been uncovered in older clients. - Fixed crash bug & potential security vulnerability in in_midi.
Critical Update to Winamp 5.24 source
I use Foobar, so not threat from hackers ;)
