Nice. One of the only things I really miss about Windows. I hope somebody makes a linux port.

Meanwhile https://github.com/XMMS2 has been open source from the start.

Last time I tried it there was no view library like Winamp. Nope. At that point just use VLC or MPV.

And it's also a dead app. No thank you.

What use do we have today for a music focused media player? Is it common for people to use mp3, flac or wav for playing music? I feel like music streaming services hold the market here.

I like winamp back when it was an alternative for the basic windows media player to listen to all my music but I dont keep mp3s anymore so I don't know if I can see the point.

Was it anything more than just a music player with eq and skins? Did I miss the point back then?

Maybe I just don't have the vision that others have and will be pleasantly suprised when someone comes up with a good use case and develops it.
