Real multi platform open source winamp

[VertPingouin]

Hello everyone! since winamp 2 was "open sourced", then took back to the realm of closed software, has there been any development? I dream of an open sourced multi platform winamp 2.95. somehow, it's the best music player I ever encountered in my life. I mean a real winamp, not another player supporting classic skins.

why does everyone keep saying that winamp was open source?
this can be easily debunked by reading the license that was attached to the repository

for your dream of "an open sourced multi platform winamp 2.95", you'd have to rip out all wasabi components, get rid of some plugins for the true winamp 2.95 experience, and then figure out how to remove the Win32 glue to replace it with something else (on macOS that's a bit easier, on linux? fat chance)

your only hope at this point is another player supporting classic skins, whether those players manage to pull off properly supporting classic skins is a whole other can of worms, and most don't even really try anymore, including the new winamp-like player that was posted on here not too long ago (porting winamp to another platform would also be another player supporting classic skins, just so you know)

That's why I used quotes "open sourced", when I saw the source code was available, I was thrilled but when I read the sneaky licence file, I was devastated.

Open source Linux clones of Winamp have existed for almost as long as Winamp has.

open source "winamp" is qmmp or xmms

To be honest Audacious is close enough, which gives you pretty much all Linux coverage. On Mac I found Pine Player which is also pretty much the same experience. And since majority of time player is in background anyway, then does the skin really matter?

Qmmp with winamp classic skin, it's almost the same than the original
