It really whips the llama’s ass.
I can still hear this.
Came here to say that. Somebody better warn the llama.
Baaaaaa! 🦙
I don’t like animal abuse but I make an exception for llamas
Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.
Maaan, I had so many different skins for my Winamp player. Was such a great time to be on the internet. It was open and anonymous and had yet to be fully commercially exploited.
There was a setting (or plugin?) to use a random skin on startup.
You could actually set it to change skin on every song in playlist. Great feature if you were skin hoarder like me.
For anyone wanting to get a nostalgia hit: Winamp Skin Museum
Edit: Spelling
Ah. This is great. It even plays the music
The best part was the commercially “exploited” parts were so woefully done. It was great seeing mega corporations stumbling to figure out how the internet worked, while the little guy has full control over it.
FYI there’s a stand alone version of milkdrop but on crack called nest drop
In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!
This! 😵💫
Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
Hell yeah!
Hell yeah brother!)
Twin turbskis?
I smashed that upvote button so hard. Whip that llamas ass
‘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.
Tiiiiiight
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
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.
This is the ONLY music player I found with a logical and reasonably laid out library.
Ever try Media Monkey?
MediaMonkey is the GOAT for ease of use and library management. Been using them for years since like 3.x, maybe 2.x.
Next can we get ICQ?

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.
If you need a quick Winamp fix -> https://webamp.org/
Never heard of anything on the playlist before and I doubt I would have really stumbled on it normally because it’s not the style I normally seek out but so far it all slaps. How is it they’re allowed to include this stuff on their website?
Damn, I’d even works on mobile
Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.
If this gets updated and ported to Linux, I’d switch. Until then, Sayonara Player is still the best I have found on Linux.
So, where can I get a fresh copy of Limewire?
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.
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!
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.
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
if you’re being for real, it’s successor is this. though compared to other offerings these days I don’t really prefer to use it. open source and no ads tho so that’s cool.
I wasn’t, but thanks!
Be cool, use Frostwire
No mention of a license but it talks about being the “official version”, suggesting one can fork it.
Depends if it’s source available vs open source.
I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.
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.
Just like everyone else, at one point I used WinAMP, then when they started the upgrade to new and significantly more hardware demanding version I switched to Aimp, which to this day I use as mobile application. Am no longer on Windows, but I still miss those applications. VLC simply doesn’t fit that role of a music player.
Open sourcing WinAMP means we’ll probably get a ported version for Linux, which I am very much looking forward to.
While xmms is dead there’s qmmp. Supports xmms and winamp 2 skins.
I used both and things felt off. WinAMP of old was no nonsense player. Once version 3.x came it wasn’t as popular and it was much more of a polished product but came with bunch of features that weren’t needed in my opinion.
Someone said it was explicitly written with Windows in mind, so the Linux port will probably take some time. Converting all the Win API calls will take some time.
If the port isn’t named Linamp then I’ll be mildly irritated.
I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol
which skin are you using? post a screenshot , alongside your current playlist so we can be entertained
