You need to use a development environment to write it in. Visual Studio (Microsoft) or any of the Borland tools would be best, but there are free ones as well.

I would GUESS that Winamp was written in C++.

better place to ask this is the winamp forums...

Winamp is developed in Microsoft Visual C++.

If you want to develop plugins for it all you need is a 32 Bit Windows Compiler, like Borland's free C++Builder.

Tutorials for what? Coding in C++? Writing codecs? writing GUI apps in MFC?

Want to make a simple app like winamp???

Winamp is not, by any means, simple... Especially if you're gonna use C++

Start slow, find some online tutorials, buy some books - Deitel & Deitel, and work on some small personal apps...

Then maybe in several years, you'll be able to accomplish a better media player

WinAMP was originally a music AMP program written for Mac, and then ported to Windows.

It is written in C++ if I remember correctly

The C++ it self and what I want to do is:

1)Start off by making a realy ****y *player, 3buttons*, Then when I learn more I can add more so it gets better

2)Code it in C++

3)So whats the best app for me to make c++ apps?

There was an interview on Neowin with the creator and Im sure he said it was created in C++.

As I said, there's no easy way to start coding a program like winamp... there is considerably more technology behind winamp than you think.

not to mention, you would need an intense background in C++ to even manage the layout.

As stated before, you're jumping to a project that even serious CSC students with 2+ years of experience would have trouble accomplishing... so you need to think smart, and try something smaller :)

Install the .NET Framework 1.1, and then grab a copy of SharpDevelop.....you can program in C# with that.

Winamp is programmed in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional. Get the SDK and go from there.

C++ is very, very hard to program GUI apps in. Just a warning.
