Does one install this version over the top of his existing Winamp version?
Will Winamp auto update on its own to this new version?

Subject: New Build of Winamp 5.666 now available
Hi all,
A new build of Winamp Winamp 5.666 build 3516 was released a couple of
days ago. This is a very minor update to Winamp but apparently many bugs
were fixed. So if you want the absolute latest version before
development of Winamp ends on 20 December it might be an idea to
download and install this new build. A direct link to the file is at:
