WinAmp's Open Source Story Is Over

2 years ago by petsoi to c/linux

Without warning, WinAmp deleted its entire GitHub repository, effectively ending the whole story around open-sourcing the music player code.

AIMP ^[Windows/Android]^ has been my Winamp replacement for ~15 years. I've never found a player that comes close to rivalling it.

P.S. I have no idea what the licence is for AIMP, I just know it's free and is excellent. You don't need Winamp.

What about jet audio? Is it FOSS? I can't find anything about that. I used it after Winamp started disappointing with it's media support.

Well, then. There it is. I do remember using AIMP right before I left windows altogether, and liking it more than jet.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
