Winamp released its source code with a license that drew a lot of attention. That’s when other apps’ code was found inside.

    Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.

    It’s fantastic.

      And you can set the visuals to unlimited fps, which is fun on a good screen

      What a shame that it isn’t open source.

      I’ll happily continue to use Audacious with a Winamp skin.

        Well, given the very unorthodox nature of it as it is today, I don’t know that Dr0 can legally open source it until he’s finished replacing literally all legacy functions with new code, even if they wanted to. But I can understand your position.

          Whether that’s the case or not, I think it is secondary to the fact that he clearly says on the website that he definitely doesn’t want it to go open source, for as long as he is working on it.
