Every news of Winamp and its entities. Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows.
The only thing I don’t like about the new WInamp is the NFT library, Hotmix and Fanzone things they added to it. But I guess the new owners had to try and make their money back somehow. Plus they’re easily ignorable.
Finally! Couple weeks back I downloaded it again for the first time in probably 10 years and it really made me wonder why they basically fucked it up and abandoned it
Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.
Maaan, I had so many different skins for my Winamp player. Was such a great time to be on the internet. It was open and anonymous and had yet to be fully commercially exploited.
My guess is this is a win32 program or a codebase that is very Windows specific. It was probably discarded because it did not port very well to other platforms. Again, just a guess.
Still, it’s nice to see such a historicaly popular program get its source officially released.
Well, I mean I loved Winamp, but streaming ease of use pretty much killed it. Even then, I’ve been Linux Desktop forever, and other options there with better network and non-file aware media management tools kinda took over. Would love to see them make it as extensible as VLC though, even just for the nostalgic purposes.

I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.
Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
Nice. One of the only things I really miss about Windows. I hope somebody makes a linux port.
Favorite skin? The NASA one. Perfection: Achieved.
So, where can I get a fresh copy of Limewire?
Audiogalaxy for me. But then I love BBC radio dramas and I got I have no idea how many hours from there. Most of it lost now sadly.
Before finding MediaMonkey Winamp was all I used. I like sticking to things I understand well.

First: Surprised it still exists.
Second: More surprised there are Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore links on the bottom.

There was a setting (or plugin?) to use a random skin on startup.
You could actually set it to change skin on every song in playlist. Great feature if you were skin hoarder like me.

Edit: Spelling
Ah. This is great. It even plays the music
This! 😵💫
All good until “for windows” fuck that.

Audacious has support for Winamp skins and EQ presets, so you could call it a Winamp-like.
Port it then, you coward, lol.
Winamp hasn’t seen real development in 20 years, and was exclusively a windows app at that time. What’re you expecting?
Yeah we’re cool 😎.

As a Linux user, check out Strawberry. The name isn’t great, but the player makes up for it
as a former AIMP user, i second the Strawberry choice.
Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
I smashed that upvote button so hard. Whip that llamas ass
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
‘Sweet.’
Also acceptable: Dope, dude, w-t-f, oh my God, holy shit, duuuuuude.
Gen X: Radical, gnarly, cowabunga, I want a living wage.
No, no. We want a thriving wage at this point. This living wage BS isn’t getting us anywhere.
Next can we get ICQ?
Uh oh!
