On a related note, we are just about to launch a VJ tool using Milkdrop. NestDrop allows you to perform with high-resolution high-fps visuals which react in realtime to the music and then broadcasts the video via Spout. Since the Milkdrop engine is at the core you can easily bring in your own presets. Use any audio source to drive the visuals, even live audio. http://www.nestimmersion.ca/nestdrop.html

This looks cool, but there's absolutely nothing on the page about OS and hardware requirements. I can't even tell if it's for Windows, Mac or both.

My only problem with Winamp 2 is that people laugh at me when they pass my computer and see it.

Yeah :-) Show them the keyboard shortcuts. Like the zxcvb set for the main 5 controls (prev track, play, pause, stop, next track), or pressing j (for jump) and then typing a part of the name of the song you remembered to play what you want at the speed of thought + typing. They'll understand that ~~it's really fast~~ it really whips the llama's ass!

I've had no better interaction with computers than the "jump to song" dialog in Winamp. It was always instantly responsive, worked when I wanted it, how I wanted it.

On January 14, 2014, it was officially announced that Belgian online radio aggregator Radionomy had bought Winamp and Shoutcast, formerly owned by Nullsoft. - https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/14/5263086/winamp-radionomy-... So since this site was launched, it looks like you can now download Winamp from the Official Winamp website: - http://winamp.com/ For those asking for old versions of Winamp, you can get them here:…

Wait wait wait wait... Justin Frankel is behind Cockos (of Reaper and WDL fame)?? Mind blown. Reaper in particular is fantastic, even if I could never get my head around it long enough to stick with something other than FL Studio.

Reaper is amazing software.

Whoops. Thanks for the heads up! We just started laying out the webpage to prepare for the release.

Windows is the only supported OS currently.

Basically any range of GPU is supported, according to the resolution you want to run the visuals at. But if you have a decent GPU then you can run up to 4 different video streams concurrently.

There's is a website that's keeping versions of Winamp, including the one I consider the best 2.95 https://winampheritage.com/download-winamp-player

Old versions of Winamp suffer from some pretty severe vulnerabilities. For this reason I don't think it's a great idea to run anything except the latest official Winamp beta or the latest WACUP.

MusicBee is a great alternative if anyone needs one. I've used it for about a decade.

Does it have a score editor ?
