Sound Solution 1.31b - Winamp Plugin Guide The following essay explores the historical significance and
- 1.0 - 1.1 – Basic presets, buggy GUI.
- 1.2 – Added 3D surround, but removed 4 presets (no one knows why).
- 1.31a – Fixed a crash on Winamp 2.9, but preset menu showed placeholders for “Pro presets – Buy full version” – even though there was no commercial version. This enraged users.
- 1.31b – The golden build. All placeholders removed. 30+ working presets. No nag screens. Fully functional bass expander. Community forums (RIP Winamp Forums) declared it the final, complete release.
- 1.31c and beyond – Actually regressed features. Some later rebuilds were bloated with adware or stripped presets to push an unrelated “Audio Optimizer” product.
