I remember when this was announced. The website is so spectacularly bad, and so deeply and embarrassingly inappropriate (huge complicated sluggish incompatible mess, for what was a tiny, efficient, old player), that it put me off.
Also, any mention of NFTs screams "SCAMMERS!" at me.
So, anyway, I tried it.
I recently got a Win7 installation back up and running. It's a few years old but it's never really been used, so it's clean and fast. WinAmp seemed appropriate.
It installs. Then the all-default installation tells me I didn't install some subsystem I need for the skin I chose, and reverts to the old one.
Well, it is a beta.
I tried it for a while, streaming a radio station I listen to a lot (and am listening to now, via iTunes).
The songs regularly sllloooowwwweeeedddd doooooooooowwn for a bit when my CPUs got busy, then caught it. It was distracting. I don't know if this is Windows' fault or mine, but I don't expect that in 2022, even on an OS from a dozen years back.
It works. It's not a great experience, but it works.
Wonder if I can install an ancient version of Netscape 7 and extract the Netscape WinAmp skin? That was a favourite, about 20 years ago...
