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.

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.
Very cool but even 15 years ago or so when I moved to Linux, I was already over Winamp and using Foobar... Loved it
No mention of license in this article. Are they going to be releasing it through a git of some kind?
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.
Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!
Nice. It's still my favorite music player.
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.
There are likely lots of improvements that can be made under the hood. I'm willing to bet that it depends on several aging libraries that could probably be swapped out for something better.
Its maybe a small thing, but being packaged in linux repos would be huge for me
Being able to type
$sudo apt install winamp
Would be so cool
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
