Is it important? It was a cool program 30 years ago but it's just a playback UI right?
It’s not the old program anymore, and it already leaked a long time ago. It was obvious that the new one wouldn’t be open.
The new one is just a web UI with options for streaming music. There were talks of the old original Winamp going open source though, which bought nostalgic memories to many. Eithercase, with so many music players on both Windows and Linux, I doubt Winamp would a niche case to fill.
But do any of them Whip the Llama’s Ass?
I wonder how well XMMS would work on mordern Linux
It works quite fine, use it daily. Well, XMMS2 to be pedantic.
Just some shellscripts bound to windows-keys to pause/play and load new files.
I have the old one (5.x) installed and use it regularly. Is it still available for download anywhere? Would love for that one to be officially open sourced.
There's WACUP: https://getwacup.com/
Oh, now that is interesting. Thank you for that piece of information!
It's at best abandonware, but the source will never be released officially as it now belongs to a random megacorp.
