Is There a .NET version of Winamp?

Is there a .NET version of winamp out, in the making, or in future plans? If so, then what language(s) would it be in (c#, vb.net, etc.). And if it does exists, what version of .net is it in (2002 or 2003)?

No there isnt; what possible advantage would .NET confer to an application such as Winamp?

not to mention it'd break portability to other platforms. There has always been that rumor flying around that they wanted it to run properly on linux.

Would we really want to further Microsoft's monopoly?

And why would they want to ruin Winamp by using VisualBasic.NET?

i don't think that something designed to be small and lightweight would benefit all that much from something like .net.

As he traveled to a far off land, he found he wasn't traveling alone, but that he had gained companions, and when they found their new land, they started work on a new temple, one that would be OPEN to all who wanted to worship. from The Book of Wasabi C 12 Vs 09 (pg 2003)

If life calls and you're busy, let the answering machine pick-up. Just so you know, my previous avatar was NOT a swastika, nor did it have much similarity to one. Just thought I'd clear that up since I cannot use my own original art work.
