All good until "for windows" fuck that.

Port it then, you coward, lol.

Winamp hasn't seen real development in 20 years, and was exclusively a windows app at that time. What're you expecting?

isnt XMMS a port of something ?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

That’s what I was thinking.

My guess is this is a win32 program or a codebase that is very Windows specific. It was probably discarded because it did not port very well to other platforms. Again, just a guess.

Still, it's nice to see such a historicaly popular program get its source officially released.

Audacious has support for Winamp skins and EQ presets, so you could call it a Winamp-like.
