So since this site was launched, it looks like you can now download Winamp from the Official Winamp website:
- http://winamp.com/ http://winamp.com/
For those asking for old versions of Winamp, you can get them here:
- http://www.oldversion.com/windows/winamp/ http://www.oldversion.com/windows/winamp/
For those asking for alternatives, there are some:
- https://alternativeto.net/software/winamp/ https://alternativeto.net/software/winamp/
For other Nullsoft magic, including Gnutella and WASTE, see:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsoft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsoft
Also worth checking out founder Justin Frankel and his new company see:
- https://www.cockos.com/ https://www.cockos.com/
LICEcap is great.
- flopunctro 7y agoHeads up, the winamp 2.95 download from www.oldversion.com triggers a malware alert from Windows Defender. Another red flag is that the download is via regular HTTP, not HTTPS. So I'd recommend avoiding oldversion.com.

- piffey 7y agoLet's not encourage people to take VT as gospel though. Lots of ways to get around the tools there. Fun malware does it all the time.
- MrGilbert 7y agoWouldn't be the first false positive. Didn't trigger for me, so... ymmv. //edit: Sorry, I just realized that I loaded my copy from https://winampheritage.com https://winampheritage.com
- ViViDboarder 7y agoWow. They’re even hiring a Winamp developer!
- dleslie 7y agoI prefer the Winamp Community Upgrade Project: https://getwacup.com/ https://getwacup.com/
- NikolaNovak 7y agoFascinating; I never knew Reaper DAW (I have a paid license and use it semi-regularly) was started by WinAmp founder!
- sailfast 7y agoLICEcap is amazing. It's also been especially good for front-end pull request documentation. Sure, include your code, but a GIF of the feature, working is a nice way to drive home the change.
- tomc1985 7y agoWait wait wait wait... Justin Frankel is behind Cockos (of Reaper and WDL fame)?? Mind blown. Reaper in particular is fantastic, even if I could never get my head around it long enough to stick with something other than FL Studio.
- wilsonrocks 7y agoReaper is amazing software.
- sheinsheish 7y agoDoes it have a score editor ?
- robdachshund 7y agoMusicBee is a great alternative if anyone needs one. I've used it for about a decade.
