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.

Man. I still use winamp to this day and I've been using them since they came out.

It's the only music player that organizes the music in a way that makes sense. I love the library interface.

No mention of license in this article. Are they going to be releasing it through a git of some kind?

Very cool but even 15 years ago or so when I moved to Linux, I was already over Winamp and using Foobar... Loved it

this is cool but what is the point now given all the options today and the way we listen to music now?

First: Surprised it still exists.

Second: More surprised there are Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore links on the bottom.

I'm not sure what can be brought to Winamp that'll make it better through open source. Maybe it'll be a default alternative for Linux distros? That'd be cool.

But, Winamp to me is just a program I use that plays video game soundtracks that are different formats aren't MP3 or WAV. Like Super Nintendo with .SPC for example.

AIMP has predominantly taken the mantle on my system as default media player, it's just feature rich and long won me over the day my PC suddenly rebooted and the song I was playing was just on pause with that program! Winamp couldn't do this, whenever I re-opened it, song stopped playing entirely, gotta play it again.

Wow this brings me back. What is winamp used for these days?

Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!

Nice. It's still my favorite music player.

Before finding MediaMonkey Winamp was all I used. I like sticking to things I understand well.

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
