If you dare, there is a place you can go to see what we all got up to in the 90’s and 2000’s, with screenshots of tens of thousands of different custom Winamp skins . If you ever whipped the llama’s ass you might just recognize a few of them, and might even admit to having used one or two of them.
This is the brain child of Jordan Eldredge who delved into the internet archive’s library of Winamp skins, which is a thing that exists to create this huge database of usable skins. You can relive this era because Jordan also created Webamp , a web based version of the old Winamp program which is compatible with all of the skins in his collection. If you are feeling especially brave there is a random button to mash on to bounce through the archives.
If you have no idea what any of this means, you are probably best off continue to live in blissful ignorance and should avoid the site at all costs. On the other hand if you could hear that intro song when you read the title you could consider visiting the site and seeing if any of your old favourites made it in.
As Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN will warn you , this might not be the best idea as some of those old skins are more than a little tasteless, many are much, much worse.
Call it K7M.com, AMDMB.com, or PC Perspective, Jeremy has been hanging out and then working with the gang here for years. Apart from the front page you might find him on the BOINC Forums or possibly the Fraggin' Frogs if he has the time.
I LUV Winamp!, those were better days!, when the net still felt free and open. Still have a decent sized collection of only the very best skins
Many good memories of this time, and agree with M on the net feeling open then.
I first used Winamp on an AMD 5×86-133 OC’d to 160 MHz – just fast enough to play 128 kbps MP3’s and do some other basic stuff in Windows..
Did they ever get an official RealPlayer Plugin? I remember that being important once upon the long long ago far away time.
Also, after a quick google, REAL PLAYER STILL IS A THING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? wow
Oh. That’s a blast from the past!
I remember spending hours downloading music from all sorts of sketchy places. Organizing them into folders and playlists – and getting all the metadata defined correctly – was a major nightmare.
I do look back on this time with some great memories. But honestly. Paying a few bucks a month for a music service is just soooo much more convinient…

Winamp 5.9 Final has been released after four years of development and includes numerous improvements, including Windows 11 support, playback of HTTPS:// streams, and various bug fixes.
Before online music streaming became prominent, people would rip song tracks from CDs and play them on a computer or portable MP3 media players.
One of the most popular MP3 players was Winamp, mainly due to animated visualizations and skins that users could use on the media player. As a result, Winamp achieved a massive following, with many users extolling how it "really whipped the Llama's ass" (yes, that's its slogan).
Winamp ceased development after version 5.666 was released in 2013 . However, in October 2018, Winamp 5.8 was leaked online , with the developers announcing that they would continue developing the media player.
Today, Winamp 5.9 Final Build 9999 was released after four years of development since version 5.8 was leaked online.
"This is the culmination of 4 years' work since the 5.8 release . Two dev teams, and a pandemic-induced hiatus period inbetween," reads the release notes for Winamp 5.9 Final.
The most significant change in Winamp 5.9 is the porting of the application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2019. However, this change caused plugin issues in earlier Release Candidates for users who did not have the Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable installed.
With this final release, the Winamp installer will check for the required Visual Studio 2019 files and prompt users to install them if necessary.
The Winamp changelog states that this release brings improved support for Windows 11, HTTPS:// streams playback, a new podcast directory, and support for hi-res playback.
While this release fixed many bugs, the developers state that quite a few known issues are earmarked to be fixed in version 5.9.1.
These known issues include bugs in the About dialog, Milkdrop, AVS Editor, ml_wire Podcasts, the Bento skin, and more.
However, those requiring the NSV VP3 decoder are out of luck, as the feature is now deprecated.
"We can't find the old On2 VP3 source code anywhere so we are officially declaring this format deprecated / EOL," the developers explain in the release notes.
The Winamp devs also plan on some new features for version 5.91, listed below:
Still ToDo (5.9.1 and beyond)
- Add native support for more formats (e.g. opus, ogv/ogm, TS, dash/iso6, H.265, HLS, VP9, etc.)
- Replace old Gracenote features (CDDB, Autotag, etc) with e.g. MusicBrainz or MusicStory
- Maybe restore a working NowPlaying service ?
- Add more default services to ml_online view (Lyrics, Jamendo, Hotmix, YT, Bandcamp, Spotify, etc.) ?
- More multithreading & progress dialogs for "Send To" features (e.g. send large ML view to a Playlist)
- Config for in_mod & out_wasapi
- View File Info dialog for in_mod
- Tons more :-)
For those interested, the Winamp developers have posted a complete list of changes from the 5.9 Release Candidate to the Final version in this changelog .
The homepage continues to point to the wrong version of Winamp, but the final release can be downloaded from here for now.
I wouldn't call it novelty. Release 5.9 build 9999 was released on July 27, 2022, a month and a half ago. It works great.
This is not a come back, The only REAL surviving WinAmp that has been regularly updated but an original team member (DrO) is WACUP.
5.9 is just a shitty half ass patch, Winamp 6 looks to be the most uninspired, bland and generic piece of designed by committee BS I have ever seen...
Sorry for being such a downer on this topic but the company that now hold the Winamp brand are a purely marketing company with no love or passion for what Winamp was or should be.

Winamp returns in 2019 to whip the llama’s ass harder than ever
Aging desktop app gets love, too

Devin Coldewey

The charmingly outdated media player Winamp is being reinvented as a platform-agnostic mobile audio app that brings together all your music, podcasts and streaming services to a single location. It’s an ambitious relaunch, but the company behind it says it’s still all about the millions-strong global Winamp community — and as proof, the original desktop app is getting an official update as well.
For those who don’t remember: Winamp was the MP3 player of choice around the turn of the century, but went through a rocky period during Aol ownership (our former parent company) and failed to counter the likes of iTunes and the onslaught of streaming services, and more or less crumbled over the years. The original app, last updated in 2013, still works, but to say it’s long in the tooth would be something of an understatement (the community has worked hard to keep it updated , however). So it’s with pleasure that I can confirm rumors that substantial updates are on the way.
“There will be a completely new version next year, with the legacy of Winamp but a more complete listening experience,” said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Radionomy, the company that bought Winamp (or what remained of it) in 2014. “You can listen to the MP3s you may have at home, but also to the cloud, to podcasts, to streaming radio stations, to a playlist you perhaps have built.”
“People want one single experience,” he concluded. “I think Winamp is the perfect player to bring that to everybody. And we want people to have it on every device.”
Now, I’m a Winamp user myself. And while I’ve been saddened by the drama through which the iconic MP3 player and the team that created it have gone (at the hands of TechCrunch’s former parent company, Aol), I can’t say I’ve been affected by it in any real way. Winamp 2 and 5 have taken me all the way from Windows 98 SE to 10 with nary a hiccup, and the player is docked just to the right of this browser window as I type this. (I use the nucleo_nlog skin.)
And although I bear the burden of my colleagues’ derisive comments for my choice of player, I’m far from alone. Winamp has as many as a hundred million monthly users, most of whom are outside the U.S. This real, engaged user base could be a powerful foot in the door for a new platform — mobile-first, but with plenty of love for the desktop too.
“Winamp users really are everywhere. It’s a huge number,” said Saboundjian. “We have a really strong and important community. But everybody ‘knows’ that Winamp is dead, that we don’t work on it any more. This is not the case.”
This may not come as a shock to Winamp users still plugged into the scene: Following years of rumors, an update to the desktop player leaked last month, bringing it from version 5.666 to 5.8. It was a pleasant surprise to users who had encountered compatibility problems with Windows 10 but had taken the “more coming soon” notice on the website with a massive grain of salt.
This kind of thing happens a lot, after all: an old property or app gets bought, promises are made and after a few years it just sort of fades away. So a free update — in fact, 5.8 eliminates all paid options originally offered in the Pro version — bringing a bucketful of fixes is like Christmas coming early. Or late. At any rate it’s appreciated.
The official non-leaked 5.8 release should come out this week (the 18th, to be precise), and won’t be substantially different from the one we’ve been using for years or the one that leaked. Just bug and compatibility fixes that should keep this relic trucking along for a few years longer.
The update to the desktop app is basically a good faith advance payment to the community: Radionomy showing they aren’t just running away with the property and slapping the brand on some random venture. But the real news is Winamp 6, which Saboundjian says should come out in 2019.
“What I see today is you have to jump from one player to another player or aggregator if you want to listen to a radio station, to a podcast player if you want to listen to a podcast — this, to me, is not the final experience,” he explained. It’s all audio, and it’s all searchable in one fashion or another. So why isn’t it all in one place?
The planned version of Winamp for iOS and Android will be that place, Saboundjian claims. On desktop, “the war is over,” he said, and between the likes of iTunes and web apps, there’s not much room to squeeze in. But mobile audio is fractured and inconvenient.
While Saboundjian declined to get into the specifics of which services would be part of the new Winamp or how the app would plug into, say, your Spotify playlists, your Google Music library, your Podcasts app, Audible and so on, he seemed confident that it would meet the needs he outlined. There are many conversations underway, he said, but licensing and agreements aren’t the main difficulty, and of course release is still quite a ways out. The team has focused on creating a consistent app across every platform you might want encounter mobile audio. A highly improved search will also play a role — as it ought to, when your media is all lumped into one place.
No word on whether it will retain its trademark intro upon installation — “WINAMP. It really whips the llama’s ass.” I certainly hope so.
This lack of specifics is a bit frustrating, of course, but I’m not worried about vaporware. I’m worried that other services will insist on the fragmented experience they’ve created that serves their interests better than ours. But if Radionomy can navigate these tricky waters and deliver a product even a little like what they’ve described, I’ll be thrilled (and my guess is tens of millions more will be, as well). And if not, well, we’ll always have the original.
