Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
I smashed that upvote button so hard. Whip that llamas ass
‘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.
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
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.
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.
For anyone wanting to get a nostalgia hit: Winamp Skin Museum
Edit: Spelling
Ah. This is great. It even plays the music
This! 😵💫
Next can we get ICQ?
Uh oh!
If you need a quick Winamp fix -> https://webamp.org/
Damn, I’d even works on mobile
Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.
I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.
Meh. No Ella Fitzgerald.

If this gets updated and ported to Linux, I’d switch. Until then, Sayonara Player is still the best I have found on Linux.
What about xmms? It was basically a winamp clone, I used to use that on my Linux boxes 20+ years ago
Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.
I have never found a Linux media player I liked (I don’t really like Sayonara). I would love Winamp for Linux!
Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
I’m still using Winamp 2.91. I’m just too used to it to change. Now, if someone added Flac support to the same interface, I’d be happy. And if someone ported it to Linux and Android, I’d pay big bucks for it.
I’m using winamp 5.666 for windows.
There is finally a decent winamp for Android, but I use the Samsung music player instead.
Would love a Winamp for Linux
Just like everyone else, at one point I used WinAMP, then when they started the upgrade to new and significantly more hardware demanding version I switched to Aimp, which to this day I use as mobile application. Am no longer on Windows, but I still miss those applications. VLC simply doesn’t fit that role of a music player.
Open sourcing WinAMP means we’ll probably get a ported version for Linux, which I am very much looking forward to.
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.
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.
Same. My only gripe is that the ui doesn’t scale at all which makes it hard to use on 4K.
Apparently the newer version fixed that issue but it’s not default. If you update it you can mess around with it in the settings.
There’s someone in the comment here that explains it.
Removed by mod
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.
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.
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.
Switched to Linux in 2005 or 2006. Been missing Winamp ever since. :) Finally.
Before finding MediaMonkey Winamp was all I used. I like sticking to things I understand well.
