Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.
I wonder how long it will be before someone ports it to Linux
There isn’t much point of that, XMMS was basically that — a faithful reproduction of Winamp for Linux between 1997-2007. Since then there’s been a ton of forks — XMMS2, BMP, Youki, Audacious etc.
Audacious is still around, sort of (last release a year ago) and it’s basically Winamp, it can use Winamp skins and has plugins.
Any of them compatible with Winamp plugins? Because that’s my reason for sticking to the past.
I’m sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t ever just use VLC.
