Still whipping the llama’s ass all these years later! So glad this one never died. Way too much time getting all my music tags right so everything would be formatted correctly in Winamp when I was young.

This is the ONLY music player I found with a logical and reasonably laid out library.

MediaMonkey is the GOAT for ease of use and library management. Been using them for years since like 3.x, maybe 2.x.

Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

Musicbee is a pretty good Foobar alternative.

No mention of a license but it talks about being the “official version”, suggesting one can fork it.

Depends if it’s source available vs open source.

I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.
