Re: Winamp5 Beta
http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/index.html is their site. They seem to do a lot of wave-based things. Interesting company. Lots of DSP and medical tech.
Also, for everyone talking about opensource.. you're being mildly hypocritical (as am I  ) because MP3 is a closed standard. A better solution is Ogg Vorbis. It's licensed under the LGPL and the compression is about the same as MP3. I have heard multiple stories from many audiophiles whether the quality-to-size ratio was better than MP3. All the music I rip now is in Ogg Vorbis. Check out www.xiph.org
Also part of xiph is Ogg Theora, which is, I believe, a video codec derived from On2's VP3 codec. Unlike VP3, Theora is distributed under the LGPL.
Anyways, sorry for getting off-topic. But I like this kind of stuff
(ooh ooh, FLAC rules!)
