@sc nooooo i liked winamp more when it was but a memory
@Mainebot Radionomy, yes. This is actually the first release(!) since they acquired Winamp back in '14.
@sc Awesome! Apparently its freeware again too.
@Mainebot Has been since 5.666, but yes.
@sc @masklayer so I'm like super astounded this runs flawless under wine on linux, that's rad.
@sc To this day, their slogan still confuses me.
@sc I heard this will actually be the final desktop version release, because they're working on a mobile version of Winamp and dropping desktop support? But I don't have an article link handy...
@Raspberryfloof i'm not sure if that can be proven from looking at the website
it feels a bit up in the air rn
@sc Here's an article about the release, at least, that implies they are pivoting towards mobile: https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/15/winamp-returns-in-2019-to-whip-the-llamas-ass-harder-than-ever/
@sc I so thought they were dead for sure
@sc the fact they can type "This version is not an ongoing project... without a drop of self awareness is really something
@LANthus i think they mean 'we're pretty much done with winamp 5, it's been ages, time to move on to the next codebase'
which still isn't great but it's not as bad as it could be?
@sc yeah I assume that's what they meant, but saying it that way after what's been like 5, 6 years? is a little uh... we'll say "humorous"
@LANthus i guess i get that, yeah
wording could have been better
like 'this release is no longer an ongoing project' would have been better
not sure if Winamp 6 (allegedly coming next year) will have a desktop version, though. if not then that's just a big disappointment
