It's not on the Winamp site yet, but it's pretty much the official release. I've downloaded and installed it Nice indeed.

P.S - I'm going to bed since it's obvious that it's too late for me. BWX and TwistedMetal know what I'm talking about

Didn't notice until now that they have that Lite package with only MP3 support. Installed it and found some nice options for declining to install parts of even that small package. So now finally I can kick the 2.95 version goodbye.
