Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.

Now the question is - are they open sourcing the original Winamp, or the awful replacement?

I think I was running x11amp, but it was Linux-only at the time.

Audacious is already an open-source audio-player, that can display these 98,000 .wsz Winamp Classic skins, today.

I like Audacious but it lacks the Winamp features of later builds. Went for Strawberry instead when I migrated to FOSS.

Strawberry looks very polished. I’m going to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Update:

Found 2 new players today.

Clementine (the player that Strawberry is forked from), it’s awesome. Thanks for the info to find this player.

Also cmus, which is a console music-player, and basically looks like vim for audio files.
