I'm still writing plugins for Winamp...
ThePostPenultStraw
Which one is that?
ThisOldCPU
ThisOldCPU’s OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer for Winamp 5+

D2R is actually pretty decent, and even has a button to switch to original graphics.
Pilgrymm
I still use it! Used it yesterday to edit some Id3 tags on some totally legal files.
Harm
Well, a LOT of internet has been here before it...
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I do love winamp still, but im a whore for customizations, so foobar2k has been my goto for 20 years now.
sentx
I really wanted to like that one but nothing comes close to how powerful winamp's media library system is.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Its library system is better than winamps, HOWEVER, you actually have to customize it to be so, its not out-the-box easy, its got a steeeep learning curve.

STill use it.
its very light on the system and works for it purpose. to much software is overly bloated
ardtay
Yeah, I've seen no need to use something else, it works.
CaptainThePirate
Bass up, treble down. Good balance.
theskepticinme
This eq curve would sound terrible on any system. 600hz isn’t even bass. It’s low-mids. Boosting those will sound boxy and muffled. Even worse dumping all the highs also. This is objectively unbalanced
Nykidemus
I too listened to the Matrix soundtrack on repeat via winamp lol
Makerofthingsmasherofstuff
Winamp on my 486 with the turbo button set to 66. Heck ya!
ChikaChickaBowWow
How I long for those days.

Ah yes the ol turbo button that clocked everything down and made it slower. Miss those days lol

I still have my vintage WinAmp shirt. It is mostly wearable but I need to find someone talented to shore up the holes so it doesn't get worse.

Had to switch to Foobar 2000 a while ago - there was some newish media Winamp wouldn't work with.

Milkdrop hits way different in 4k at 60fps.
Ree81
Brothers, I have betrayed you. I just run Youtube in the background these days.
But the enshittification is really getting up there so it's leaning towards making MP3s out of those videos again. I can't go on a 1 hour walk without being interrupted.
Yorghe
take a look at plexamp, download those YouTube videos as mp3s and then stream then to yourself
Ree81
Nah I'm good, gonna stay old school and just... put the MP3s on the device. :P

https://getwacup.com/ actively maintained with some improvements but otherwise perfect replica of winamp given it uses some of the same libraries. The developer behind the project is the same person that wrote the original enhanced media library plugin. Also it is free.

this, WACUP is fantastic

Wow propellerheads
Tekbill
Did that source code get released ? I’d love to see the workings
sentx
It did, it was a hilarious epic disaster, and it's still floating about. It's c++ working just above the Win32 switch statement of doom level. Doxygen can help but it's a bit unwieldy. https://github.com/manfromafar/winamp/tree/community/Src/Winamp

Cool! Thanks - I guess I could’ve googled it. But thanks !!😊

This product isn't out yet but it definitely seems close. There's a live "demo" on the page and from the FAQ/Guide it seems pretty robust with features.
Looks like it's channelling the spirit of the llama also. I've been watching it for the last month or so and there are occasional updates. The Beta stuff went up a little over two weeks ago but still no download files. I check back occasionally.

That just gives an error page. Nothing specific, just "Something went wrong."
kc2syk
Works for me.
TI99Kitty
Okay, I guess it was just down yesterday.
TI99Kitty
Eh, Winamp was (and still is) free. And isn't just for Mac.

EroticZombiePants
Whose playlist is this, and can I set up something like this on the site for those of us who still live in the distant past the way people set up Spotify playlists?
sjleegketting
Why would anyone want this when you can dload and install the full version? It is wild to me how many people are easily coerced out of their personal data by just putting stuff online that shouldn't be online.
Winamp got big before everything and your toaster needed Internet connections to function. It offers much better privacy and control over your data than anything online.
EroticZombiePants
I already have WinAmp. I was just thinking about modern "mix tapes".
TekWhiz
Hahaha! Thanks, so damn cool! Kind of like a remote desktop!
2774
What would that offer? Consider me a dinosaur who was happy to get back to a desktop, and has podcasts at hand.
Thanks - I do want to learn if there are better, more interesting options out there.
EroticZombiePants
Some of the MP3s I have on shuffle whenever I break out WinAmp have to be over 20 years old at this point. I don't need better options.

I'd prove you wrong, but I misplaced my llama
SedatedSl0th
Here’s a llama. There’s a llama. And another little llama. Fuzzy llama. Funny llama. Llama llama, duck.
Psionickitten
Most of the llamas I've ever met have been pretty ill tempered. Perhaps winamp is to blame.

Me too, but my main go to was a Mega Man skin.

I am a massive Zelda nerd, like my 3DS is a zelda themed one, as is the carrying case I have for it. I have a triforce Tattoo, my phone background is the Hylian Standard. LttP was the last game I got to really play with my uncle before he passed away so that particular game has a ton of meaning for me on a personal level.
Pookiemonster1
Nice, Always rocked a Gundam skin
Shadarim
I downloaded that skin back in the day! Back then I used a Final Fantasy 6 "Shadow" skin. I still use it as well, but these days I use this skin:
Meltemi
Nice. I used to use an Oh! My Goddess skin, but this is the one I use most nowadays.

Excellent Anime.

I miss my old favourite skin, Blueberries and Cream, can't find it any more.

I don't use skins, but Winamp is still my to-go music player.

You kinda have to on modern resolutions (if you use the classic versions).

I made so many skins back in the day. Sadly, they're lost to time...

I don't think I uploaded any of them (could be wrong, though), and even if I did, I don't know if I'd recognize them, haha. I did browse a bit, but couldn't see anything.
