 The Nullsoft developers have been working overtime to deliver some killer new features that are now available in the latest version of the Winamp Media Player. Download Winamp 5.56 Now http://uk.winamp.com
 
· New Winamp OrglerTM lets you track, chart, & share your listening history
· New Charts feature highlighting top artists, songs & My Charts
· Improved iPod Sync Support
· Available in 16 languages including Turkish, Romanian & Brazilian Portuguese
· All the great features that make Winamp the Ultimate Media Player!

Now Available in Winamp 5.56 is the Winamp OrglerTM.  This plug-in, which comes packaged with the 5.56 player, powers the Winamp Charts experience.  When you enable the Orgler to send your listening history to Winamp, we can now highlight & feature the eclectic musical tastes of the Winamp community.  The charts are available in both your Winamp media player & on http://uk.winamp.com , allowing you to view the Top Songs < http://uk.winamp.com/music/top-songs > and Top Artists < http://uk.winamp.com/music/top-artists > being listened to by other Winamp users.  You can even view your own listening history! Simply filter by My Charts to see what you’ve spent your time listening to today, this week or this month.
 
Each time you listen to a song through Winamp, while the Orgler is enabled, the plug-in sends the basic metadata associated with that file (such as song name and artist name) to Winamp. Currently the Orgler only tracks songs played from your media library (internet radio isn’t tracked yet).  It’s important to remember that you are not Orgling by default, so if you want to contribute to the Winamp Charts make sure you’re signed-in.  We’re planning other features that work with the Orgler so follow us on Twitter < http://twitter.com/winamp > or read the Winamp Blog < http://blog.winamp.com/ > for the latest.
