When Winamp was popular Macs were <5% of the market. I hope they release a version for macos. I don't think the current developers own the IP to Macamp.
Audacious [0] works on macOS through brew and supports Winamp 2.x skins. I'm using it right now, here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/NQ5y9Hi [0] https://audacious-media-player.org/

I've said this a few times on here but I'll say it again. Starting from 86Box, archive.org, and winworld, I've been building a VM of my 1996 Gateway 2000 with Windows 95 and re-installing all the old goodies. I also did a find on my mp3 library and found everything last modified before 1999 and loaded them up on there as well. So now I can actually go into a super realistic VM experience in full screen and use Winamp…
Older software like this runs extremely fast on my newest hardware. Switching to lightweight native apps is sometimes more of a speedup than dropping >$3000 on new a workstation class laptop. Of course, you usually need the latest hardware to eat through modern workloads. But aside from that, I sometimes forget clearing out software bloat is a much more effective way to gain performance, productivity and improvements…
Older software sometimes runs just as fast on older hardware, too. It’s anecdotal, but I never remember waiting on Winamp to start up. iTunes, on the other hand, has always seemed slow.

This. I'm honestly not quite sure what kind of supercomputer would be needed to have Teams not lag. I'm kind of OK with having to wait around for a compile or other heavy "modern workload" (though I must say I don't do this all day every day). But it drives me absolutely crazy to have basic software lag when I type. This absolutely kills the experience for me.
I use Teams daily on a MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM. If I walk away from the laptop and Teams detects idleness, it starts consuming 100% CPU and the fan turns on. Returning to the computer, everything is dog slow for several minutes. Drives me crazy. The other thing that drives me crazy about Teams is there still is no “temporary mute” for channels. I can’t mute a channel for say, an hour. I have to suffer through noti…
But, luckily, we can easily integrate our chat with MS Stocks application, and, even better, with MS Power BI!
I have always impression that MS employees cannot use Teams, otherwise they would have noticed that something gone really wrong here. On the other hand, those are people who gave the World the (in)famous Windows Millennium Edition, so everything is possible.

It's still actively developed just under different name https://getwacup.com I think it's my longest used app in desktop already since previous millennium, followed by TCMD and IrfanView. edit: tried to install new Winamp and unlike WACUP ir requires me to install also Microsoft Visual C++ which also requires computer restart, all of this to use dumb music player? not very user friendly, no other app in desktop misse…

Is that really an ahem apples to apples comparison? Depending on when we're talking, iTunes had many more built in features than Winamp...
