Every single time something like this comes up I feel compelled to mention Audacious. See my previous comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32779590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39965620 Like most days, I am using it right now on macOS.

Pretty misleading headline. This isn't actually Winamp. It's someone's attempt at a clone.

It's a clone with a stolen name, and given that it's not been abandoned it's likely they'll come down on this like a bag of hammers.

Seems like Mr. Greenwood may be too green to know what's coming!

Why does the title call it OS/X? It's macOS and it's described that way on the repo. Unfortunately his is just a recreation rather than an actual port, since the license for the source that was released prevents derivative works. Foobar2000 is the spiritual successor to Winamp and it runs on Windows and macOS as well as mobile.

Foobar2000… now there's an app I haven't heard of in (checks calendar) nearly 20 years. Glad it's still kicking.

I've never seen os x written like that. I assumed it was a version of os/2 I had never heard of.

Of course they mean OS/X Warp, the Apple x IBM OS collaboration the world forgot.

I know this was in jest, but had some of Apple’s and IBM’s 1990s plans came to fruition, we could’ve ended up with an operating system capable of running both OS/2 and Taligent (the original planned successor to the classic Mac OS) applications on PowerPC hardware (one of the few parts of the Apple/IBM collaboration that was realized):

OS/X Warp sounds a lot cooler than Workplace OS.
