Show HN: We missed Winamp, so we built an audio player for macOS

mocko

Does it support original Winamp skins?

I see little to no information on whether or not it really whips the llama's ass

xnx

Pay software that doesn't have anything to do with Winamp.

Call me crazy but iTunes/Music has always been one of the things I like most about macOS, at least after going through the settings and disabling all the features trying to push you into a subscription. I still manage my own ~500 file mp3 collection instead of paying monthly.

Cool. Now please make it support skins that aren’t rectangular. https://warped3.substack.com/p/direct-win32-api-weird-shaped...

Vibe coded?

I recommend IINA: https://iina.io ( https://github.com/iina/iina )

Good retro feel. I don't mean to shift the spotlight away from the topic, but a great lightweight alternative is Tiny Player: https://www.catnapgames.com/tiny-player-for-mac/

but there is Vox.

Does audacious work on OSX? Theres also xmms if you want to run it in xquartz

DJ mode seems useless for DJ’s and smells like feature creep. KISS, YAGNI.

What's wrong with foobar2000? Used to be one of the best music players and you could infinitely customize it.

chrisallick

me too, released two weeks ago on hackernews: https://github.com/chrisallick/light-crime-audio-player getting good reviews!

I love Strawberry Music Player. Works great and does everything I want.

Literally just installed QMMP on Haiku with the default Winamp skin because my partner misses the 90s.

The Buy button is kinda signaling, that they don't understand, what Winamp and this whole time was about... New tools with a frenetic mdding scene behind it, max customization, no tutorials, but digging through every file to see what you can change, bulky windows, which all needed to be arranged aside, like browser, napster, icq, winamp, your cs server chat in a thick browser.

Cog is a dated but pretty good winamp clone that supports mod and s3m like winamp did. Someone should bring that one back to life instead.

Sigh this is the same insanity that tesla brought into the car dashboard UI/UX, They removed physical buttons and now everyone is bringing them back. Same applies to music players.

cybercatgurrl

does it support exclusive mode?

Does it support Milkdrop2 visualizations?
