Op het Winamp-forum is een nieuwe bètarelease verschenen die versienummer 5.36 build 1500 meegekregen heeft. Winamp is in verschillende varianten te downloaden. De Lite-versie speelt alleen muziekbestanden af. Met de Full-versie kan daarentegen ook videobestanden worden bekeken, naar webradio kan worden geluisterd (SHOUTcast), over een mediabibliotheek beschikt en cd's mee worden geript. De Pro-versie ten slotte kan ook bestanden coderen en cd's branden. Voor deze features moet echter wel betaald worden. De nieuwe release heeft een groot aantal veranderingen aan boord en de belangrijkste daarvan is de ondersteuning voor album art. Het volledige changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:

- 'Show horiz scrollbar' action in ml doesn't hide scrollbar until after vert divider is moved *
- Icon scrolling in album art view is a bit buggy *
- New CDDB features may still be a bit buggy (eg. see ujay's post below)
- Hang when switching between dashboard/ml_online and other ml views *
- Alas, Winamp 5.36 Full/Pro is probably no longer compatible with Win9x (Win 98/ME) (Lite should still be ok, as it is mainly the ML which is incompatible).
