    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.
