Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.
It doesn’t say what license they are going to use, so it may not be open source. The wording is very weaselly.
This is news from September and linked blog post from December. Nothing happened.
Winamp has announced that on 24 September 2024, the application’s source code will be open to developers worldwide.

The date is given on the page, which hasn’t lapsed yet.
Good find, I honestly didn’t notice that this was from Dec 2023.
it shows “Dec 16, 1” when I open the link, but the first time I saw someone post it, the date on the screenshot said “May 16, 2024 - 08:30 CEST”: https://social.treehouse.systems/@amie/112452636130622939
I only wish it had Milkdrop
Oh it’s the continuation of XMMS, I have found memory of using that!
Bookmarked

It really whips the penguins ass
What about the legendary music visualisation we could make it standalone at last ?
Can they open source their original code? IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMAS ASS!!!
With this initiative to open the source code,
The wording is quite evasive. They didn’t say directly “With this initiative to open source” but “to open the source code.” They do however mentioned collaboration and contribution.
I’m quite confused what license they would use.
If I’m correct Justin sold WinAmp and then created Reaper AKA the best DAW ever made.
It really whips the llamas ass.
I still got my skins saved somewhere…
It whips the llamas ass!!
My only windows machine left still runs Winamp. It may be old, but at least for playing my offline library, I really don’t know what they could possibly change. For everything else, I wouldn’t use Winamp anyway.
I install it every time I reinstall Windows. It’s not like the native music player is any better than this program that hasn’t been updated in 10 years.
At some point, the creator said “I don’t need to update this anymore…what am I going to do? Make it BETTER???”
It’s been too many years since I’ve dabbled in code licensing so I’m a bit in the dark as to what this implies, but if this results in a Linux fork that’s capable of running Winamp plugins…
I still use, Jesus, version 5 or something. Nothing has managed to be as handy as old winamp.
Version 2 fo life!
Man, can you even still download that? Man, it’s the only programme I can think of that I never had an issue with. Even the default skin is so usable.
And none are more asswhippening to llamas.
