The Media Library includes these options in the left pane:
Dashboard: Serves as an optional homepage portal for the Media Library. Includes links to skins, plugins, video streams, favorites, music news, stored playlists, etc. Please note that Dashboard is still in develoment, which is why it currently says "Dashboard Beta".
Now Playing: Shows information or web pages related to the current track, if available...
Bookmarks: For storing quick links to your favorite online streams.
History: Keeps track of when and how many times any items (remote streams, local media, etc) are played through Winamp.
