Hi,

Actually, this is meant to be a feature. Starting from version 2.10
winamp has a "ID3v1 URL Comment support":
http://www.winamp.com/download/newfeatures.jhtml
This basically requires you to put a certain prefix + URL in the ID3v1
comment field which will automatically redirect the minibrowser to
this site.
I wouldn't call this a "bug" as it only applies as long as the
minibrowser is *visible*. Most people anyway automatically switch it off
as it is quite disturbing.
Kind Regards,
