Favorite skin? The NASA one. Perfection: Achieved.
It really whips the llama’s ass.
Baaaaaa! 🦙
I can still hear this.
Came here to say that. Somebody better warn the llama.
I don’t like animal abuse but I make an exception for llamas
How else will they learn to not eat hands?
Nice. One of the only things I really miss about Windows. I hope somebody makes a linux port.
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.
… which is also not open-source. But yeah, it’s areally good music player and organizer.
Finally! Couple weeks back I downloaded it again for the first time in probably 10 years and it really made me wonder why they basically fucked it up and abandoned it
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.
Maybe I would try an Android version

Have at it. It’s been there for as long as I’ve owned an Android phone.
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.
So, where can I get a fresh copy of Limewire?
Be cool, use Frostwire
Screw limewire, soulseek is the way, an endless sea of perfectly organised music libraries, you’ll find what you want and stuff you didn’t know you needed.
The problem is when they’re perfectly organised in a different manner from what you expect :D
Yeah I judge them by how they organise their collection.
I organize them into
Source (Bandcamp, Deezer, etc) --> Artist - Album --> Files
It’s easy to navigate and makes handling multiple versions of the same album easy because they are seperated into source folders.
For the files themselves lately I’ve been doing something like
Country of Origin/Artist/Original Year - Album (Catalogue Number) (Release Year)/(used to do it without the country, but at one point they became way too many, and I don’t really like organising by letter or whatever). I love foobar2000 with Facets because of the fact that you can shove any arbitrary tag into the files and then have columns show it (I’m doing that with the countries for example), but I’m now suffering a bit because of that habit - I started also self hosting my library and Navidrome that I’m using doesn’t like just any tags that you throw at it (it especially doesn’t like it if you have multiple releases of the same album that have come out in the same year).Sorry but I gotta say it… having artist as a seperate folder is wild.
My view is that not having separate artist folders is wild, but hey, whatever works for you.
All in all however specific folder structure is not terribly important to me; what’s important is that the tags are in order and that I can make the app I’m using present the stuff in the manner that I want.
Do you share music on p2p services or do you just have a personal collection? The reason people don’t like seperate artist folder is because when sharing the folder it won’t include the artist name.
Perfectly organizing in 50 different ways has a name too
Now I’m sad that it already has a name - I don’t get to name my diagnosis.
/s
Thanks for this. I’d not heard of soulseek. I’m an *arr person with Usenet. It’ll be nice to see if I can find some rare / missing items.
I am a mildly net savvy person who only knows about torrents and file sharing. Can you point me to resources where I can learn more about Usenet? Also, what client and service do you use to access it? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.
To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the “newsgroups”, but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).
You don’t need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:
- an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)
- a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)
- a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)
Good luck!
Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.
Tldr you’ll need a hoster, newshosting is what I use And an indexer drunkenslug is one I use. I have 6. Lol
Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.
Good luck!
I can get behind this.
Now unfuck Shoutcast next
I’m not sure what can be brought to Winamp that’ll make it better through open source. Maybe it’ll be a default alternative for Linux distros? That’d be cool.
But, Winamp to me is just a program I use that plays video game soundtracks that are different formats aren’t MP3 or WAV. Like Super Nintendo with .SPC for example.
AIMP has predominantly taken the mantle on my system as default media player, it’s just feature rich and long won me over the day my PC suddenly rebooted and the song I was playing was just on pause with that program! Winamp couldn’t do this, whenever I re-opened it, song stopped playing entirely, gotta play it again.
Its maybe a small thing, but being packaged in linux repos would be huge for me
Being able to type
$sudo apt install winamp
Would be so cool
There are likely lots of improvements that can be made under the hood. I’m willing to bet that it depends on several aging libraries that could probably be swapped out for something better.
First: Surprised it still exists.
Second: More surprised there are Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore links on the bottom.
Meanwhile https://github.com/XMMS2 has been open source from the start.
And it’s also a dead app. No thank you.
Audacious also has a mode that looks like winamp. I think it even supports winamp skins.
I loved audacious and it was my xmms replacement. I don’t really use local media players these days as everything is on my plex server.
Well, I mean I loved Winamp, but streaming ease of use pretty much killed it. Even then, I’ve been Linux Desktop forever, and other options there with better network and non-file aware media management tools kinda took over. Would love to see them make it as extensible as VLC though, even just for the nostalgic purposes.
As a Linux user, check out Strawberry. The name isn’t great, but the player makes up for it
as a former AIMP user, i second the Strawberry choice.
Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
‘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 yeah!
Hell yeah brother!)
Twin turbskis?
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
It really whips the llama’s ass
