Winamp News

[dJivad]

This is the most exciting news since the launch of the Interwebz.

I hate win8 and the metro look. I can understand wanting a metro ver for say a tablet or phone, but given how MS is, metro might not even port to win9, who knows?

Very true, rumors are that the metro apps are going to be windowed in windows 9/threshold, but they are supposedly allowing unity between the windows phone apps and metro/windows8/modern apps, time will only tell.

Why not still the old beautiful Desktop Look from the XP / Vista / Win7 Times?...
I belong to the people, who hate Win8 & the Metro Look...

Classic skin rocks!

I've always stuck with the classic skin, Winamp doesn't feel like Winamp in any other clothes

[wernerml]

Yeah!

Linux needs such good Music Player. A Linux version of Winamp will be nice.

I have a Virtual Machine with Windows 7 running in my Linux -> JUST FOR WINAMP (99,999% of it's purpose)

All plug-ins, skins and visualizations in one place (use the Google Translate):

Hard to tell what will work with 5.666 though

Still, a great resource in this time of change.

Is this way Winamp has stopped working?? No searched stations will play!

[Sabine Klare]

Someone else has reported that in another thread, too:

I can only suggest to visit the website of the radio station itself and open or save the playlist file from there. Although I always save the playlist files onto my PC (I do that in Mozilla Firefox), opening the files directly should work, too.

My own .m3u-file "Radio Streams 2012" is still working:

But I have mostly only radio stations with my preferred genres in my long playlist.

You people are AWESOM thank you.

Just signed up to the forums to support this new deal.

Having used Winamp long before Soulseek and Napster were around,
it was totally shocking to hear they planned to close the doors... pure corporate blasphemy!

Anyway, I just wanted to point out the ONE reason I can't live without Winamp...
that's not to say there aren't a million things I LOVE about it... but this ONE thing really whips the llama's ass!

Ultimate ML Plugin:

http://winampheritage.com/mlplugin/index.php?p=umlp-about

I beg of you... if there's any future development of Winamp...
please integrate this type of file browser into the core software (icing on the cake: with copy/paste features).

I realize Winamp has a very similar setup in it's core file search...
but there's a LOT to be said for organizing our HUGE music collections,
in the same manner we're used too with Windows file manager.

This is something that every music player overlooks (Winamp included)...
all trying to reinvent the wheel, and doing a mediocre job of it.

What makes software truly loveable is it's ability to feel familiar, and the Ultimate ML file browser does just that (though lacking in features)...
it's as close to Windows file manager with a music player built in, as we've ever had.

Please, please, please expand on this basic usability concept.

K, word is born... time to go tune some MilkDrop animations!

Thank you

I had an issue with WinAmp and then heard it was going away. so I started trying other players.....

Thank goodness it is coming back. Good luck!

Tree View (A MUST HAVE)

I beg of you... if there's any future development of Winamp...
please integrate this type of file browser into the core software (icing on the cake: with copy/paste features).

YEAH!!! File Browser (Tree View) style is A MUST for the future of winamp (& or Plugin Developers)

Winamp Dev

Id like to see more activity on the dev side......winamp has been my default player since i was 10....im now in university doing Info Systems and the problem i have is ive done vb.net, c# and other languages but not C++.....i want to do my own plugins but lack of good tutorials is hindering me..

[tanase_vlad_23]

Winamp dev dudes, please do this one: Whenever winamp is closed, if playlist is changed, please add a confirmation popup or something.
It is waaaay too annoying to see that you have forgot to save the damn playlist .
That usually being :
- the next morning
- after friends leave your place (given a great party)
- after a dj was here
- basically everytime you are happy with the list thus you forget to save it.

keep it on
