Winamp returns in 2019 to whip the llama’s ass harder than ever

[PaJeppy]

Whoa, haven't heard that in a while.

Now I feel old

Is there anything unique in the actual text file or is it generic?

Just opened it, it's a plain text document

begins with "RAR registration data" then my name (what I registered under), then "Single PC usage license" followed by a line that says UID and 398-character Alphanumeric string that I assume is the actual key.

Huh. I don't know why I find that so fascinating but thanks for the answer!

Used foobar a bit during the whole customize and showoff desktop kind of thing.

Stopped caring and went back to good ol winamp

 

[Voytek]

I still use it. Never needed to find something new.

 

[godofcookery]

I still have my ICQ login info.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I still use Winamp on my PC and on my work PC. I still love it.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I still use original Winamp, been my music player since forever. Not giving it up now.

Click to shrink...

Same here. Still the king of simplistic functionality.

 

[Mechaplum]

Still use it, what's wrong with it?

 

[hinryu]

I'll stop using Winamp when you pry it away from my cold, dead hands.

 

[Kensation]

RealPlayer's time is now.

 

[Fuu]

all those anime skins

I'm also a part of the "I never stopped using it" bus.

Got a lotta naughty llamas and a desperate need for visualizers

Linking own tweets is corny so apologies but Windows Media Player skins were better just for this

Is there a better music player than it? It works, it's free and super lightweight.

 

[signal]

Also Foobar is only the best player if a primary requirement is customizing it for neowin.net screenshots.

I never stopped using it, use it every day (5.5.72 or something), so this is... good. I'll probably just continue to use the updated classic player, I couldn't care less about streaming.

 

[Cam]

I'm in the club of "still use it, won't stop until you pry it from my cold, dead hands". Can't wait to make new One Piece and DMC5 skins, yeah!

 

[faceless]

I can't even remember any other MP3 players.

Click to shrink...

k-jofol!

 

[Skux]

Winamp is still great when you want a no-nonsense media player. The skins were amazing.

 

[Deleted member 437]

Winamp Winamp.

It really whips the llamas ass.

Baaa, baaaaaaaaa!

 

[Deleted member 907]

Never stopped using it.

 

[passepied joe]

more like loseamp

 

[maximumzero]

Before iTunes brought along proper music management, I was all about Winamp.

 

[Qasiel]

I'm down with this, loved Winamp back in the day.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

What's this about a llama

The only thing that's missing here: a fancy Windows XP skin.
Here's my badboy from 2005

[F2BBm3ga]

am I the only one who still uses winamp to play all of their mp3s?

hell, am I the only one still using mp3s?

 

[BlueTsunami]

Give me some sweet, sweet winamp skins

 

[pooptest]

Last good version(s) was anything before 3.

I use VLC now and am perfectly content staying. Good on them for reviving it, though. Awesome news.

 

[CDX]

The original app, last updated in 2013, still works, but to say it's long in the tooth would be something of an understatement.

Click to shrink...

OH WOW

I still use Winamp and certainly not the 2013 version, I use Winamp v2.95 from 2003! A full decade earlier.

It does everything I want a music player to do and NOTHING more that I don't want it to do. I'll probably continue using Winamp v2.95 as long as a windows OS can run it. If I had to switch it'd probably be to foobar2000, but I just like Winamp better so I don't have to switch.

 

[Bob White]

God...winamp was my life back then

 

[BLEEN]

I'll try it on mobile tho nothing really beats Eleven in terms of lightweight and customizing.

On desktop, VLC completely whipped the llama's ass around 10 years ago - and that's coming from a huuuge winamp user.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Having a dedicated app for music is not a bad thing. I use winamp as well.

 

[lunarworks]

I can't even remember any other MP3 players.

I used Sonique for a while.

 

[inner-G]

I hope it comes out for Mac (I hate iTunes)

[Medalion]

I proudly still use winamp to this day... bring it on... and whip my ass llama

 

[Bjoern]

I'm still using Winamp today.
How else would I listen to SPC and GSF files and all those other console and handheld game sound formats?

 

[Falcs]

I was excited for a moment, but then I remember that I stream all my music now.

Hopefully it is integrated with online streaming services, otherwise I don't really see the mainstream value. Most people don't listen to local MP3s anymore.

 

[Moppy]

Oh shit, I didn't realize it was uncommon to use Winamp in 2018. :\

I mean, I still use Spotify for convenience most of the time, but if I'm at home, on my PC, and looking to listen to some older/independent stuff? Whip that llama's ass, baby.

 

[jkanownik]

Suck a Caribou's ass.

 

[Shevek]

I made the switch over to MusicBee several years ago and I can't imagine anything replacing it now, as much as Winamp was dear to my teenage heart

 

[Stinkles]

Still more intuitive than iTunes. Not kidding either.

There like wasn't a single one of these that wasn't batshit ugly
