Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.

It really whips the llamas ass.

Now the question is - are they open sourcing the original Winamp, or the awful replacement?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

wtf, winamp was closed source? What was I thinking running that back in the day!?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I think I was running x11amp, but it was Linux-only at the time.

Do they still make Kix?

Audacious is already an open-source audio-player, that can display these 98,000 .wsz Winamp Classic skins, today.

I only wish it had Milkdrop

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I like Audacious but it lacks the Winamp features of later builds. Went for Strawberry instead when I migrated to FOSS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Strawberry looks very polished. I'm going to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Update:

Found 2 new players today.

Clementine (the player that Strawberry is forked from), it's awesome. Thanks for the info to find this player.

Also cmus, which is a console music-player, and basically looks like vim for audio files.

Oh it's the continuation of XMMS, I have found memory of using that!

Yes, autocorrect messed it up

Not a serious suggestion, but I can confirm that WACUP does at least have no noticeable issues using WINE

It really whips the penguins ass

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I still got my skins saved somewhere...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

What about the legendary music visualisation we could make it standalone at last ?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If I'm correct Justin sold WinAmp and then created Reaper AKA the best DAW ever made.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

If Justin/anyone at Cockos is reading this: please open-source REAPER. You really would be doing the audio community a huge service.

I still use, Jesus, version 5 or something. Nothing has managed to be as handy as old winamp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

And none are more asswhippening to llamas.

Man, can you even still download that? Man, it's the only programme I can think of that I never had an issue with. Even the default skin is so usable.
