Wish they'd open source the thing already. Surely it can't be pulling the holding company much revenue at this point; I don't think you can even buy the premium version anymore. Just let me get a proper Linux port and I'll drop Audacious in a heartbeat.
And later versions of Winamp bundled or included popular third-party plugins and features too. IIRC things like Jump-to-File and the Media library were originally written by third-parties and were license-to or acquired-by Nullsoft... I think? Then there’s probably some stuff AOL added too.
At this point wouldn't it make sense to just rewrite it from scratch? I'm sure there are projects already doing this (take a look at this one for example! https://webamp.org/)
I mean again, I'm currently using Audacious, which even supports Winamp 2 skins, so it's pretty much the same aesthetically. And it works well enough for my workflow (which is that I rarely ever actually look at my media player--I just want to queue something to play and have it run it my system tray, with Play/Pause available through MPRIS or media keys).
