MAD  is an input plugin mp3 decoder. You can find the plugin, as well as 
more info about it at the following link. I found it at the following link.

http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/

I have yet to try it out with a lower version of Winamp, just to see if it 
might be more compatible, but as I said, I think you will like the sound of it.
