XMMS is the closest we had, I don't think it's kept up anymore.

  There's another open-source media player that will let you load up WinAmp skins. But heck if I can remember what it was, or find it. It looks nothing like WinAmp without the skins though... While I was searching, I did find this though. http://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ http://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ QMMP seems to be a QT-based player that looks like WinAmp. And I can't find a WinAmp clone that works on MacOS, either. I'm dying for one since I have to use a Mac for work, and that's when I do most of my listening. I love having the little tiny player up in the corner. Visible, accessible, but out of the way because it's so small and you can shade the window! EDIT: I found it! Audacious supports WinAmp skins also!

    Daily QMMP user here. Not without its quirks but fairly usable. It's the best thing for Qt-based DE AFAIK.

  I'd say it has effectively been succeeded by Audacious: https://audacious-media-player.org/ https://audacious-media-player.org/ ... which is under active development: https://audacious-media-player.org/news/53-audacious-4-2-released https://audacious-media-player.org/news/53-audacious-4-2-rel...

Yeah, you would think it would have been leaked already.. Winamp is a cultural artifact!

  It was in fact leaked. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29379346 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29379346

    Oh wow. Is that source code from a newish version? (I don't see any files in the main root.)

      The leaked source is from somewhere between 5.65 & 5.66. https://getwacup.com/blog/index.php/2021/04/17/what-does-the-leaking-of-winamps-source-code-mean-for-wacup/ https://getwacup.com/blog/index.php/2021/04/17/what-does-the...
