Yesterday, the Winamp source code, build tools, and associated libraries for the Windows app were published on GitHub, allowing anyone to provide bug fixes and new features to the iconic media player.

However, its license prohibits the distribution of modified software created through the release of this source code.

Why this when WACUP exists already?

E: Just discovered WACUP is only partially open source? Damb that sucks. Hope this release could help WACUP but seems unlikely. Maybe it would help them understand the core they'e working with better?

Also the people who used DirectX for a media player.........

Honestly I'm just waiting for an open source player to ape WinAmp's style with a different name and logo so I can stop using WinAmp as my go-to non-spotify music program

I do not like running my music through VLC lmao
