dang!! what a blast from the past. I miss winamp.



Miss it? I still run it. You can have my WinAmp when you pry it from my cold, dead hard drive.


Same. Runs as fine on Windows 10 as it did on Windows 98 20 years ago.

Just because it didn't get a new release in years doesn't mean it's somehow got worse.

Some software just works.


Just FYI, there are a few known security vulnerabilities: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7545...


Thanks. They are all related to using Winamp to play rather obscure formats (Flash video and Univox streams - I had to look up the latter - and mp4 in a RAR when the user does something).

In short, none related to how people use Winamp: to play music files and streams.


Agree. I used to use WinAmp on my Windows 95. (and later 98) IBM Aptiva. Still the best music player hands down.


Be sure to try QMMP if you haven't already. It's an actively-developed WinAmp clone. I found that I still like manual m3u playlist management better than the dynamic or db-driven stuff.
