Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows - Lemmy.World

Well, I mean I loved Winamp, but streaming ease of use pretty much killed it. Even then, I’ve been Linux Desktop forever, and other options there with better network and non-file aware media management tools kinda took over. Would love to see them make it as extensible as VLC though, even just for the nostalgic purposes.
As a Linux user, check out Strawberry. The name isn’t great, but the player makes up for it
