Every news of Winamp and its entities. Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows.

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

    There isn’t much point of that, XMMS was basically that — a faithful reproduction of Winamp for Linux between 1997-2007. Since then there’s been a ton of forks — XMMS2, BMP, Youki, Audacious etc.

    Audacious is still around, sort of (last release a year ago) and it’s basically Winamp, it can use Winamp skins and has plugins.

      I’m sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t ever just use VLC.

      XMMS! I was trying to remember what I started using when I switched to Linux. Couldn’t leave my favourite theme behind. Thanks!

      Any of them compatible with Winamp plugins? Because that’s my reason for sticking to the past.
