If they made that into a working mp3 player... I would use it.

It really whips the llama's ass
Beefkins
There's so much bloated trash with most music players. Amazon's abortion of a player is eye cancer. Winamp is perfect for "play my 1/2
Beefkins
2/2 fuckin songs and don't eat up my ram/look for updates/show ads."
ThisOldCPU
It still just works.

I used to torture PCs with the default visualizer. So worth it.
Enigma3780
Damn Winamp, my all time favorite

Wow, this takes me back. I moved on to VLC long ago though.

This still around i like to take another crack at making my own visualizers

Didnt these guys go to joil for animal abuse?

Foobar20000 is really good too.

I would purchase this over my next phone, tablet, computer or iPod.

v5.666 build 3516 still kickin' ass in 2020!
mini4x
Ypu know they recently released 5.8 and sopposedly 6.0 is coming.
immunity
That's cool - but it looks like its been stuck in beta for 2 yrs now - dev ran out of steam/$$ - will stick with stable version till final.
mini4x
Damn... That was 2018... I miss 2018 so much.
Daxton
Hold up. This seems actually MAKEABLE in 2020. Bottom screen just the 8" RasPi touch display, middle with real sliders 1/
Daxton
in the middle with a printed background, top could have real buttons + number LCD + motorized slider. Have it all running off a RasPi.
Daxton
No way it'd end up that thin, but you'd still be able to keep the tri-fold design!

Can you.... Can you explain it for a youngster?

Damn I would love a portable mp3 player that looks like that

Winamp 3.78c reporting in. Have a global hotkey plugin that goes over any game or program. Absolutely love it.
fivefrozenfishfingers
Yeah, wasn't a fan of the bloatiness of version 5.
HeadJamistan
It slimmed down again for 5.666
fivefrozenfishfingers
I just got 2.95, might try that version.
Hurro
Bah. Typo - 2.78c not 3. Sorry. We are basically running the same version.
fivefrozenfishfingers
Guess that's why I couldn't find 3.78c lol. Yeah, I like old school winamp the best.
HeadJamistan
I've got a plugin that speaker fills to 5.1 (or 7.1 if you have it). My keyboard has the forward/back/play/pause buttons.
Hurro
I've used this since before keyboards had volume controls. In Vanilla WoW and CS 1.5 so I didn't have to alt-tab to change songs.
HeadJamistan
There were logitech keyboards with volume control at the time. I guess I was 1337 :)
Hurro
Ya the G10. I still have my G15.
HeadJamistan
Me too. I've taken the keys off and cleaned it completely so many times. Back when I smoked weed, I used to be able to find a joint in it.

Searching for Winamp skins was the shit

Not gonna lie- If this was real, id buy the shit out of it.
RussianBlueJay
1TB SSD is $175. You sync all your apple, amazon, spotify playlists into it. Add a battery to it. Some design and you got a winamp player
JinxRocks
If I didn't suck at design, I could see a 3D print job, some of those oled thin screens, suface mini switches, and a Pi Zero made into one
IFoldlyGo
Kickstarter time?
vectorsigma211187
It’s called a tablet
Sidewaysgts
Dionysus187
a electronic device with tactile buttons and solely used for using the winamp program folding in 2 spots is called a tablet?
LupusLilium
Just saying, the way it folds it wouldn't last very long.Those buttons and sliders are all raised, closing it would damage/activate buttons.
Dionysus187
I google image 'tablet' and none of them look remotely like that. Must be a bug or something
vectorsigma211187
Geeze chill bruh
Sidewaysgts
Can’t take a joke in response to your joke?

The PIP Boy. Nice, that's a classic.
HeadJamistan
ChiliBeef
I'm giving you an upvote because you have 'Ace of Base' in there.
HeadJamistan
Go easy on me. It's my "pop" directory.
DeltaBladeX
That is a lot of songs if that number on the left is a total count
HeadJamistan
It goes up to 6272. I have most of them on CD and ripped them myself with EAC and lame encoding.
DeltaBladeX
I have maybe 10 CDs, and 30 other music files as MP3s. That sounds insane, and now I know what my Steam library must be like for others.
napsmear
Myself I only own maybe a dozen physical CDs, however currently I have 162812 files loaded into one playlist, mostly lossless ;)
mini4x
Classic is still the best skin though.
M2rajat
yeah and with plugins it's was dope
Flortzweich
Wait. Wait. Wait. . . WINAMP IS STILL A THING? HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT KNOW THIS?
anglafro365
Cause you ain’t a real one
SeismicCoin
it hasnt updated in a long time but its still "technically" alive. you can download the latest version at winamp.com, but theres some bugs >
vidiv
Yeah, like.. I can't queue up songs on 5.8. It's a little annoying.
SeismicCoin
so id recommend googling for version 5.666, which is the last version from the original creators

Winamp is still the best player .. if you still actually keep music on your PC.

Foobar2000
cellophane303
Foobar is the greatest!
bluejolt
I liked winamp until Foobar2000 came along. Tons of added utility and can convert audio files in mass.

It really whips the llamas ass
TheIronSavior
It really whips the llama's ass!
blakeatwork
I mean, it's on a NAS that I am stream anywhere, so.
NOINOON
I hated the UI and still do. This is a computer screen I use with a mouse and a keyboard. Why does my app look like a stereo set?
NOINOON
I have a 21" monitor, why can't I scale this music player to fill the whole screen?
NebulousToucan
Why on earth would you want to scale a music player to fill a window? How exciting do you think watching it is going to be?
NOINOON
Msybe to look at my song list? Maybe change the font size so I can see shit? Check your ableism.
NebulousToucan
Playlist can be expanded.
NebulousToucan
Font size can be changed (though is a pain). You don't need to scale to fill a window to do it. Check your whiny bitch response.
tesselation9000
Like, do people not do that anymore?
quietwalker
I've got about 60 gigs, and I'm not about to pay multiple times for the same song on yet another service that might drop the artist tomorrow
JackieTreehornProductions
I kept moving a 40gb hard drive that had all my mp3s every time I built a new pc until I got a 1tb external drive for that and scratch files
Daxton
I feel bad, about a year ago I found a tool that scans your MP3s and likes all the songs on Spotify. Haven't used my MP3s since :(
GrimFinn
I've got most of my vinyl records as digital copies, and back when I did DJ gigs with digital I had to buy digital downloads of my music.
GrimFinn
Nowadays there are streaming plans for DJs as well. I rarely listen to my mp3s since it's just so much easier to stream on any device.
00LimaRomeo
Spotification of music publication, alas. Why go to your immobile PC when your mobile device suffices? I like hard copies, myself.
BrotherEstapol
I like that most new releases you can get a vinyl & it comes with a download code for high birate mp3s & wavs of the album. Best of both!
Akurei00
I often drive places without cell signal. What the hell am I gonna stream out there? Then again, water's a nice stream I suppose.
poughdrew
Download a 500 song playlist before you go? I mean streaming services let you do this.
InsertNameHereIGuess
Lots of people have gone to streaming only. Personally i like my music in folders with backups and not online.
Mathman85
Same here with owning music, and I use Plex to access them wherever I want online.
euphoricopportunity
don't trust the cloud. cloud is asshoe.
DaddyChillWhatTheHellIsEvenThat
How do you get those files though? Do you buy cds?
Ihatedecidingonausername
LimeWire Duh
InsertNameHereIGuess
To be honest, 90% is from DC++. The rest is from CD's or bought. DC++ has been working for me for over 15 years.
euphoricopportunity
What's a DC++ ?
NautilusXCVI
Personally I'd love to do that. but I don't have a lot of physical copies of music other than vinyl and don't know any good sites to get 1/2
frozencloud
I think this is the problem, kids these days are too dumb and lazy to figure it out, it is actually super easy which is the saddest part
NautilusXCVI
Thanks for the useful comment. Just trying to get some help.
NautilusXCVI
music from that won't kill my computer or cause my isp to fuck me over for piracy
NautilusXCVI
Also its supper comvinient to go anywhere and have the same music
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I like having copies on my computer. Streaming services come and go. Same with tv shows and movies. I use netflix and amazon, but any day
ThrowAwayAcct0000
my favorite stuff can disappear, so I have backups.
InsertNameHereIGuess
Same here. Movies and TV shows i don't really care about. But my music is with me for life. Got a couple of external SSD's for backups.
ZER0C000L
I like to have access on all my devices & to a huge library so do streaming, but I get the point of having your own files.
emptyother
24 GB, mp3s only, synced between all my devices by using onedrive, no problem.
RichardCheeseESQ
There's also streams or radio stations as we used to call them last century
corkoman
Soma FM streamed thru Winamp and I now subscribe to it. Awesome
SavageGoH
I always end up using winamp on my computer.
decarnatedame
I still have a license, damn it. I'm using it!

I still do.

I always used winamp on my lama. It always whooped its ass.

I like you.
TheRicM
Well where else are you gonna use it, outside of your computer?
VictusVonGuyver
Well there was a plug and go version, WinAMP lite which was meant to play off a usb thumb drive.
RincewindTVD
There used to be an android ver of it iirc

Thellluminati
I mean, technically phones are computers.
SMB42
I looked a couple days ago because Google Play is ending & it's the only player on the pixel.. couldn't find it. Also don't know what to use
HerbPicotte
Still got love for winamp. The one I like best on Android is Rocketplayer a unique interface in a world of itunes clones.
Rodvitner
If it wasnt for Spotify id still use it.
klutch91
Why not both? http://web.archive.org/web/20141208232737/http://spotiamp.com/

Huh thats cool
ObliqueRay
Wait, spotify plays mp3s on your PC?
Rodvitner
You can add "local file" directories yes. With premium it will even upload/download it to your phone.
codesubversive
Yep, I still run it! I'm thinking a physical device like this rendering would be sweet though!

TL;DR AOL only wanted Winamp for the user base to sell them AOL. Winamp team wanted to make it iTunes before iTunes existed. AOL said no.
