It really whips the llama’s ass.
Came here to say that. Somebody better warn the llama.
I can still hear this.
Baaaaaa! 🦙
I don’t like animal abuse but I make an exception for llamas
How else will they learn to not eat hands?
Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
I smashed that upvote button so hard. Whip that llamas ass
‘Sweet.’
Also acceptable: Dope, dude, w-t-f, oh my God, holy shit, duuuuuude.
Gen X: Radical, gnarly, cowabunga, I want a living wage.
No, no. We want a thriving wage at this point. This living wage BS isn’t getting us anywhere.
zOMG!!
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.
Maaan, I had so many different skins for my Winamp player. Was such a great time to be on the internet. It was open and anonymous and had yet to be fully commercially exploited.
The best part was the commercially “exploited” parts were so woefully done. It was great seeing mega corporations stumbling to figure out how the internet worked, while the little guy has full control over it.
There was a setting (or plugin?) to use a random skin on startup.
You could actually set it to change skin on every song in playlist. Great feature if you were skin hoarder like me.
For anyone wanting to get a nostalgia hit: Winamp Skin Museum
Edit: Spelling
Ah. This is great. It even plays the music
FYI there’s a stand alone version of milkdrop but on crack called nest drop
In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!
This! 😵💫
Still whipping the llama’s ass all these years later! So glad this one never died. Way too much time getting all my music tags right so everything would be formatted correctly in Winamp when I was young.
This is the ONLY music player I found with a logical and reasonably laid out library.
Ever try Media Monkey?
MediaMonkey is the GOAT for ease of use and library management. Been using them for years since like 3.x, maybe 2.x.
Next can we get ICQ?
Uh oh!
Fuck I forgot my number
I still remember mine somehow.
I remember mine, but it’s cause mine is only 7 digits
I still remember mine too. I wonder what useful information I could remember if I didn’t remember shit like this?
Mine is 8, so I was behind you I guess.
I joined in the first month, and was still in the 8 million range. ICQ exploded when it launched.
When did it launch? I remember making my account at sometime in 1999.
Hell, I googled mine and can’t find any info so I’ll share it here, fuck it. 91369100

Damn, I’d even works on mobile
Never heard of anything on the playlist before and I doubt I would have really stumbled on it normally because it’s not the style I normally seek out but so far it all slaps. How is it they’re allowed to include this stuff on their website?
Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.
I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.
Meh. No Ella Fitzgerald.
Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
Musicbee is a pretty good Foobar alternative.
If this gets updated and ported to Linux, I’d switch. Until then, Sayonara Player is still the best I have found on Linux.
What about xmms? It was basically a winamp clone, I used to use that on my Linux boxes 20+ years ago
Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.
You mean Audacious, right?
Yes, sorry, I always get them mixed up.
I have never found a Linux media player I liked (I don’t really like Sayonara). I would love Winamp for Linux!
So, where can I get a fresh copy of Limewire?
if you’re being for real, it’s successor is this. though compared to other offerings these days I don’t really prefer to use it. open source and no ads tho so that’s cool.
I wasn’t, but thanks!
Be cool, use Frostwire
Audiogalaxy for me. But then I love BBC radio dramas and I got I have no idea how many hours from there. Most of it lost now sadly.
No mention of a license but it talks about being the “official version”, suggesting one can fork it.
Depends if it’s source available vs open source.
I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.
I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol

I’m still using Winamp 2.91. I’m just too used to it to change. Now, if someone added Flac support to the same interface, I’d be happy. And if someone ported it to Linux and Android, I’d pay big bucks for it.
Not sure if that version supports them, but there’s a FLAC plugin for Winamp.
I’m using winamp 5.666 for windows.
There is finally a decent winamp for Android, but I use the Samsung music player instead.
Would love a Winamp for Linux
Maybe I would try an Android version, but Linux would be a pass, nothing they would come up with could displace MPD+ncmpc++ for me at this point.

Have at it. It’s been there for as long as I’ve owned an Android phone.
Just like everyone else, at one point I used WinAMP, then when they started the upgrade to new and significantly more hardware demanding version I switched to Aimp, which to this day I use as mobile application. Am no longer on Windows, but I still miss those applications. VLC simply doesn’t fit that role of a music player.
Open sourcing WinAMP means we’ll probably get a ported version for Linux, which I am very much looking forward to.
While xmms is dead there’s qmmp. Supports xmms and winamp 2 skins.
I used both and things felt off. WinAMP of old was no nonsense player. Once version 3.x came it wasn’t as popular and it was much more of a polished product but came with bunch of features that weren’t needed in my opinion.
Someone said it was explicitly written with Windows in mind, so the Linux port will probably take some time. Converting all the Win API calls will take some time.
If the port isn’t named Linamp then I’ll be mildly irritated.
