Brian Walton Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Based on the description, I'm guessing I'll stick with my old installers. Not interested with "connecting with artists, etc" Just want a super bare bones player that isn't trying to connect with the internet in any way shape or form. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin H Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 This may get us banned but after downloading with limewire and Napster I would play on Winamp hahah Of course most MP3’s were mislabeled, viruses, terrible quality, or cut off before the chorus. Kids these days won’t know the pain of trying to find your favorite song 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Limewire was eventually the kiss of death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which must sound ironic coming from someone using WinAmp from 20 years ago. Edited August 2, 2022 by Brian Walton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to change. As for the new Winamp...I actually think this is very clever and interesting. There's an entire generation of people who instantly recognizes the name. What if...and this is not going to happen but....what if is would be some combination of youtube / soundcloud / Spotify / Tunein (or whatever radio app) / Distrokid (or whatever distributor) etc. They talk about fair income for creators and releasing music, so there is a model behind this. I'm very curious as to how they are planning to market this and what it will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout in Foobar2000 is very customizable, so you can change it to suit your taste. Edited August 3, 2022 by pseudopop clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaartian Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I wonder what's going on here. Justin Frankel, the original Winamp developer, stopped working on it and founded Cockos (Reaper). Is he going back to Winamp, or is it a whole new set of peeps, and Justin has nothing to do with it? He sold Nullsoft to AOL in '99, who then closed the San Francisco office of Nullsoft in December 2003, laying off 450 people. Justin resigned a month later, so my guess is he has nothing to do with the new incarnation, whatever and whenever that might be.

Because I don't think it has ever had a "classic" skin/layout, since it's all about customizing the UX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Blanc Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Still, if Winamp is coming back, they better bring along the classic skin. Edited August 3, 2022 by Nick Blanc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I would love to see a move back to players instead streaming services. Winamp will likely be trying to merge the two. Just a guess on my part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
