Just curious. I figured since alot of other apps have 64-bit versions, it would be awesome to have WinAmp 64 bit. I saw some threads from like 3 years ago but I didn't see anything recent in a search so I figured I'd post here in the Wishlist section.

There really has yet to be any good reason given for it. Winamp works just fine as a 32-bit app. I don't think it's gonna need 4-gigs of memory any time soon.| Brought to you by ^V ^C | The one... the original... no seriously! -
True but I would still like to see it come to fruition.Comment

Why? Why waste resources because it is a bigger number, but serves no real purpose? Why choose to break every single third party plugin because they are no 64-bit. Why force Nullsoft to maintain two diffrent code lines and downloads? Why not search the forum and see why this has been explained a dozen times?| Brought to you by ^V ^C | The one... the original... no seriously!Comment

I know the discussion that has been (it closely mimics the *nix one), but in this particular case I would support it just for the fun it would be. True, all 3rd party plugins would break, but I for one could imagine compiling for 64-bit systems when I make a plugin.Originally posted by Sawg

I don't think you really need to maintain two completely different source trees. Probably a few #ifdef would be enough to replace the few parts that would actually differ. Possibly it's much harder when it boils down to the actual decoder (?)
On the other hand I see the dev teams point in not wasting their limited resources on something that would gain so little.Comment
