Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.
It's fantastic.
I'm surprised they kept it up for so long honestly. It was very clear they had no fucking clue what they were doing. What with the nonsensical license that violated Github's tos, the Dolby Code they leaked, and the fact they kept every commit public for everyone to see.
Can someone explain me what's the business model of an app that's free for three decades? They claim to have 100 devs, how can they pay them?
I'm using foobar2000. Should I be using something else?
I'm an old soul so I use music bee with the Tron skin, it's very 2000s
Foobar is still the best there is, although the classic style interface might not appeal to younger people.
Still miss foobar which isn't on Linux, though deadbeef is fairly similar at least. Never got the hang of all the beautiful themes/skins users put together for foobar but it was still my go to music player. Excellent layout customisation, tagging and conversion UI, as well as as nice range of plugins
I really like deadbeef, coming from fb2k as well. Someone recommended it to me two weeks ago, and I've immediately recognized the similarities.
Foobar's Dev should have just taken their project open source imo. Although I suspect winamp's lawyers would have jumped on that.
I use Audacious with the original classic winamp skin (which it supports natively).
I think QMMP also supports the winamps themes, and they both work well in Linux (which is all I run these days).
Well, that really sucks the llama's ass.
Uhhh
Unsurprising given that their repo's license was a contradictory mess
Anyways I'd recommend using Strawberry instead
It's an actual Free and Open Source music player:
...That site's UI looks like someone saw the marketing literature for the Frigidaire produce preserver and said, "Yeah, that'll do."
Nice profile picture!
Thanks!
most people don't noticeπ€
Lovely that it is open source, but dear lord that UI is a blast from the past ππ π΄π΅ποΈ
It's an Amarok fork, so yes
So that's why I thought: finally a viable Amarok replacement.
Most players out there seem to be built for like 40 songs?
Is it still possible to get the source code? I never knew it was available.
What is this "AtRiskRepos" thing? π
It's a place for software that comes from a broken home and would otherwise be hanging out on the street in high-crime areas.
I just use Audacious with a winamp skin. Looks identical but actually FOSS.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
