Probably because the codebase stinks and releasing it would end up in multiple vulnerability discoveries.
I would have love for it to go open source maybe at that point Linux would have more visual music

As @thinkpad20 said. I bet there are a lot of people that would fix things, provided it is not systemic design errors that would require global refactoring.

#29Still use it and prefer it to VLC or Foobar. I hope they opensource it, but I suspect it's unlikely? Would be cool to see all old versions too.
