The Nullsoft developed winamp-like MacAmp (and an illicit download of Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics) was my first exposure to MP3s in about 1997. WinAmp was a groundbreaking piece of software. I'm still mostly a "listen to the whole album" kind of guy, but once in a while I love being able to cobble together random smart playlists based on ratings, genres, and last played dates. Yes, iTunes these days is quite bloated, but it does what I need and you can pry my column browser and 10 years' worth of metrics from my cold, dead hands. Way too music to go browsing through folders for. At this point my library contains just about every CD I own. I became a full-time OS X user about 10 years ago when my then-employer gave me a PowerBook, and I switched to iTunes back when it was still pretty much just a music player. Major Tom was pretty slick, and there was another one that had a very well-executed "brushed aluminum and red LED" stereo component look. Somewhere I probably have a backup disk with the handful of WinAmp skins I used. I used Winamp back in the days when my MP3 collection was small enough to interact with on a "browse a bunch of folders because half of this stuff is poorly or not-at-all tagged" basis.

Will there be an open-sourcing of the code to winamp? What does the closure of winamp mean to the central repository of streams listed at ? posted by symbioid (172 comments total)Īww, man. Songbird also announced its death this year. There were upstarts who tried to do something different, like Songbird. Alternatives that have been mentioned are:Ĭlementine, Media Monkey, and the old open source standby foobar2000. With the onslaught of services like Spotify, Pandora and the big daddy on the block, iTunes it almost seems as if it was bound to happen.īut there are little guys out there. Shoutcast was both a plugin to allow one to stream and a central directory to access many different radio stations. This made it easy to broadcast to the world with just a computer and some audio files, and/or a mic. One of the services that made a huge impact in streaming audio was the Shoutcast system, also developed at Nullsoft. It has been ported over to other systems and is open source. Milkdrop was a heavily modifiable visual effect system with custom modules and designs. The AVS Advance Visualization system that Winamp introduced brought us some amazing visuals, especially in the form of Milkdrop Visuals. The classic Winamp 2, the disastrous release of Winamp 3 (which broke many features, and kept users stuck on 2.x and the merger of the two into the current king 5.x (which has its naysayers as well), with support for skins and plugins and backwards compatibility with 2.x that led to its ability to take up more users. Over the years a variety of Winamp versions were spawn.

Frankel went on to found Cockos and release the audio production software Reaper. Nullsoft (Frankel's company) was sold to AOL in 1999. Written by Justin Frankel it was one of the most widely used software based MP3 players. For 15 years, Winamp has brought first, mp3s and then more and more file formats to the masses.
