Why winamp? my understanding is that it's long been surpassed by other apps, i.e. foobar, even VLC
Try running obscure file formats, like chiptune. Winamp reliably supports all of these with a very low barrier to entry.
Thank you Justin Frankel for this wonderfully whimsical piece of software and all the code you have shared over the years. I wouldn't have been a programmer if it weren't for you being providing such a stellar role model.

If you combine Scala, Clojure and Groovy, you still don't have enough momentum on the scape of what Java had or even Python.
Scala is more popular now than Python was at the same age , and it is used for much more serious stuff than currently Python is.

And I bet many people don't even know that after Winamp Justin Frenkel started making his hands dirty with digital audio workstation coding and made a fantastic one! http://www.reaper.fm/ with a unbelievable set of features for 4 Mb (yessir!) and super competitive licensing options (but you can still try the full software free with no limitations whatsoever!). If you make music with your Pc or Mac this will shock you…

I'm happy.
so, all that gets you is a interface and some search? i just have an apache serving all my videos and a bookmark on any device browser. click and play. for android i use mx player.

This is why. The never ending stream of security issues. The installer hijacking my browser search bar. The never ending nags about new versions, which hijack my browser all over again. It's just not worth it. I have removed Java from all my computers and will never install it again. I fully realize many web sites and services are implemented in Java, that's not what I was talking about. I will not install or run any…
You can run Java applications and secure them from the web. Just disable Java applets from your browser (most have an option in the browser itself; those that don't will have extensions to do the same - like you would to block Flash plugins)

VLC can do many neat things but you can you easily rate an MP3 file nowadays?
Who rates MP3 files?
