0 smurfiness Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 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++.

0 +virtorio MVC Posted June 17, 2004 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2004 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. http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/ (nullsoft developer network) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/179095-what-is-winamp-coded-in/#findComment-2300517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HeartsOfWar Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/179095-what-is-winamp-coded-in/#findComment-2303021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ThunderRiver Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 WinAMP was originally a music AMP program written for Mac, and then ported to Windows. It is written in C++ if I remember correctly Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/179095-what-is-winamp-coded-in/#findComment-2303195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +John Teacake MVC Posted June 17, 2004 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2004 There was an interview on Neowin with the creator and Im sure he said it was created in C++.

0 HeartsOfWar Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/179095-what-is-winamp-coded-in/#findComment-2309977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Linkinfamous Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Install the .NET Framework 1.1, and then grab a copy of SharpDevelop.....you can program in C# with that.

0 Ultra Frosty Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Winamp is programmed in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional. Get the SDK and go from there.
