WinAmp Bug: 5.666 Build 3516 bug (never seen before...!)

[ProgScape]

Hey all -

I've been using Winamp...christ, for years. Ever since the 2.X versions! Anyway, this morning - I get the following error when trying to use Wianmp (Windows 7, latest Service Pack).

Winamp client version: 5.666 Build 3516
winamp caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module ntdll.dll at 0023:77bbe6df.

Exception handler called in Winamp.
Error occurred at 10/5/2016 14:05:24.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe, run by Mike.
Operating system: Windows 7 (6.1.7601).
8 processor(s), type 586.
17% memory in use.
0 MBytes physical memory.

3921 MBytes user address space free.
Write to location 00000014 caused an access violation.

What I've tried to do:
1. Restore the computer back a few days (although there have been no updates of any kind).
2. Removed Wimamp, Rebooted, ReInstalled Winamp (with a new download of Build 3516).
3. As per another thread in here, moved pmp_usb.dll and pmp_android.dll to a "backup" directory, to see if it works.

The program loads, but if you try and DO anything...boom, crash.

The program seems to want to email a report.zip, but I use Winamp pretty frequently.

I've never had an issue before today - ever. Any ideas wtf's going on?

might as well ask, did you also install the in_mp3.dll patch?

scroll down you will see a patch for in_mp3.dll that you need to install.

"-[in_mp3] Some mp3 files cause 5.666 build 3516 to crash. Use in_mp3 from build 3512 instead (installer also available) *"

or here's a direct link

Hi ProgScape,

That in_mp3.dll is not the only patch made to the 5.666 Build 3516 version of Winamp. I suggest you download the installer that contains all the patches and run it to bring your version of Winamp up to a fully patched state. Link below.
