Winamp 5.55 Winamp 5.55. By Alan Henry Apr 16, 2009. Excellent (4.0). Now, however, a new version of Winamp has hit the streets, with a new look and tons of new useful features. Winamp now can also be used as an RSS media feeds aggregator capable of displaying articles, downloading or playing that same content as streaming media. SHOUTcast Wire provides a directory and RSS subscription system for podcasts. A version prior to the version 5 series still exists for download at the official website.
