Winamp is great, ah the memories. But just like my gripe with video media, is there anywhere to buy plain mp3s for all artists, store them on my hdd and manage them in winamp? Is that still an option in 2020 without a subscription to something?
Nullsoft also created WASTE, although it was quickly shut down by AOL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASTE I wonder if someone is using that thing.

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!
Nothing like fragging your friends while playing loud music but able to skip a song if it doesn't fit the moment, all without even flipping active window. Never looked at another player because of this function.
Just had to adapt with ctrl+shift+B for next song since S was hard bound in some game.

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:…
Heads up, the winamp 2.95 download from www.oldversion.com triggers a malware alert from Windows Defender. Another red flag is that the download is via regular HTTP, not HTTPS. So I'd recommend avoiding oldversion.com.
//edit: Sorry, I just realized that I loaded my copy from https://winampheritage.com
Thanks for sharing this useful information! See, Winamp wasn't "just another player" for some of us. It was the first thing we fired up when we turned on the computer. So, seeing it go down the drain for the last 10 years or so, really hurt . Bloath, bloath and more bloath... damn, I would've opted for RealPlayer if it wasn't for the terrible UI. On the other hand, important features, like plugin playback compatibili…
Was? Winamp is still the first program I launch after booting up.
20 years on, and still kicking the llama's ass.

100% agree. Milkdrop visualisations were awesome. There are some replacements available (you can check out Plane 9), however, I find them nowhere close to good old Milkdrop. Or maybe it's just nostalgia?
Milkdrop lives on in ProjectM, the community maintained open source fork of the final milkdrop source release: - https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectM There's even pulseaudio/JACK versions of projectM that allow you to pipe any audio source into projectM to visualize. Enjoy!
