First no I am not going to go in to every bug and every fix that winamp has to offer. This is not on topic for this list at all. Second the advice to turn off update notification was the advice I was disagreeing with. This should not be turned off. Instead when you get the notice you should always update to the latest version.

What advice are yu talking about? The lady cited a specific problem and I offered her step-by-step instructions in order to address that problem. I didn't advise her to stop updating her copy of Winamp. And pray, would you care telling us what security holes this current version of Winamp deals with that not upgrading would be tantamount to leaving yourself exposed to all the undesirable elements on the net?
