It works for me, and others. Perhaps you have a version of winamp which is
too old (or new). Mine is 2.5c, so it definately works on THAT version (I
just downloaded the plugin from the website to replace my local version for
testing).

The big one is that it was sped up by a factor of 4 or more. That's a
pretty compelling reason to upgrade. It may also have some rudimentary http
streaming ability (I'm not sure whether that was in beta2 or not. It may
not work correctly).
