be pretty useful.

What's new in Winamp since 1.40?

(but only with my GUS pnp, it doesn't help my AWE32. huh)
* It isn't as skip-proof as normal buffering, so you will probably have
to give it some big priority boost in the preferences. But the performance
on some systems is amazing, the fastest I have EVER seen.

* Registration for personal use is only $10.
