Switched to Linux in 2005 or 2006. Been missing Winamp ever since. :) Finally.

So you haven't used XMMS, BMP, Audacious, QMMP?...

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I did, mostly Audacious and Amarok. But, deserved or not, winamp has a special place in the heart of almost everyone in my generation.

I can confirm this. I still use the fucker

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

I meant that all the mentioned support Winamp skins, and XMMS/BMP/Audacious are, eh, almost as esteemed.
