After a prolonged absence, Winamp is making a historic comeback with a new generation of features designed to cater to modern users’ needs. The relaunched version aims to combine the nostalgia of the original Winamp with cutting-edge enhancements, such as integration with streaming platforms, cloud syncing, and support for various audio and video formats. While specific details about the relaunch remain scarce, this announcement has sparked excitement among longtime fans and new users alike, as they eagerly await the revival of this beloved media player.
Too late; I already switched to foobar2000 and I don’t see myself switching back.
I remember when saying something like that would get you virtually stabbed in IRC.
Winamp is fine if you’re okay with its defaults; however, the moment you want to for example do something a bit more funky with the media library views, you’re out of luck. With foobar2000 and Facets I’m able to do stuff like showing different releases of the same album, showing bands and artists by country of origin (for which I do custom tags) and so on. I realise it’s a niche use, but that’s me.
I was using Foobar for the longest time, but I suddenly felt the need to have Mildrop visualization.
I couldn’t get it to work with Foobar, so I installed Winamp (about a month ago, free, no mention of subscriptions anywhere), and it came with Milkdrop preinstalled.
