AOL announced the latest version of its Winamp Media Player on Thursday, adding minor enhancements to the previous system, and includes two new features, the Winamp Dashboard and Remote.

The new Dashboard feature allows users to choose from a variety of widgets that contain both personalized feeds of their own top tracks and albums as well content about artists news and events among other things.

Winamp Remote gives users the ability to access their music collection from any internet-connected computer. Support for video and photo sharing and access from internet-capable mobile phones is expected soon, the company said.

Originally distributed by Nullsoft beginning in 1998, Winamp was acquired by America Online, Inc. in May 1999.
