Mit Winamp 5.5 wurde der Support für Windows 9x/ME Betriebssysteme eingestellt. Als Mindestvoraussetzung für die Nutzung von Winamp bedarf es Windows 2000 oder eines neueren Microsoft Betriebssystems. Zu Windows Vista machen die Entwickler folgende Anmerkungen.
<blockquote><i><b>Is Windows Vista supported?</b>
Yes, but there are currently a few known issues that the development team are working on. DirectSound hardware acceleration no longer exists on Vista (resulting in broken support for 5.1/7.1 speakers); Skinned scrollbars may not be displayed correctly; Video playback may be a bit flaky (most likely related to old/buggy video drivers or directshow codecs) or doesn't work at all with Aero enabled; and DWM/Flip3D displays the built-in Classic skin for all Modern skins. We hope to resolve most if not all of these issues in forthcoming Winamp releases.</i></blockquote>
