I really miss Winamp!

You can say thanks for the memories buy purchasing a copy of Reaper, and get a serviceable DAW in the process..

For those who don’t get the connection, Reaper is made by Justin Frankel who was the original developer of Winamp.

Man I had so many custom skins for Winamp. It really was a different time back then.

I (author of Webamp) worked with the internet archive to archive ~50k Winamp skins. The collection even features Webamp integration is you can try them out in the browser. https://archive.org/details/winampskins

Beautiful! Brings me back to my early teens. We've really lost something in modern software.

https://webamp.org/ this really took me back! Even the equalizer works, and the magnetic window stickiness!

Glad you like it! The code’s all on GitHub if you want to take a look: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp

This took me back to one morning early in my career, where I arrived at work following an Easter weekend still heavily under the influence of ecstasy. I hid under my desk from the boss, with Prodigy playing from Winamp into my headphones.

Taxi straight from party to the office. I didn't realize until I was sitting at my desk how fucked I was

ahhh this whole thing is so great! psyched to see something of mine included in this list (Minesweeper / winmine-exe.now.sh) among all these other awesome works. thanks for putting this together!

I didn't get to check many out before the guilt of procrastination swept over me, but yours definitely stood out. Love the simplicity and fidelity of it.
