Winamp is back after a 4-year long update process to make it compatible with Windows. #Winamp

This is great, but about 8 years behind?

I have a friend who is still a die hard WinAmp user. He was very pleased to hear that it’s back

Interesting. I didn’t even know people even still stored MP3 files on their local machines given the demand and availability now for streaming services like YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

But it’s a genuine interest and curiosity. A lot of the time these services provide download capabilities, at the very least to mobile devices.

I wouldn’t even know where to download MP3, or whatever supported formats WinAMP supports. Not only that, isn’t it considered then illegal unless you own the rights to those respective files?

Unless of course WinAMP somehow integrates with all these services at an API level and you could have all those services in one application. That would be cool.

I dont listen to new music tbh, cause its crap, i just listen to pre 2010 music most of the time, 90% of the songs i had to convert to mp3 as that was the only format my previous headunit in the car supported

Funny thing though, I haven’t listened to the stuff on my PC for ages. Its usually just some playlists on youtube now.
