Winamp 5.6

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

The major new feature among the usual slew of bugfixes is wireless syncing of music to Android devices. The new version of the Winamp Android app is supposed to go live on the Android Market later today; for the time being the Winamp devs are providing a link to the .apk on Dropbox.

This thing will never die heh?

I did some news covering on a French forum back in the days (2004-5) and I remember covering up WinAMP 5.3 (?) and how we where surprised to see it still alive.

Now the forum is dead yet WinAMP made it to 5.6 xD

You don't need to modify your device in any way for this nor have anything running in the background when music isn't playing.

Yeah, I guess the comunity is still big. I was a WinAMP only user long time ago until I got forced into WMP to use my Zen. Never went back after I started to browse my library via coverarts.

Sure that's a better solution if nothing's running when no music is played, but is it really the first time you guys gets real time scrobbing?

Standard feature of Winamp!?

I'm not entirely sure, I only changed to Android from iOS about 4-5 months ago and before then even with my iPhone I had never really looked into scrobbling in real time.

Not back before Bento.

Always been like this for me back in the days:

I, too, can't believe this damn thing is still around. I don't even remember the last time I've used it. Just glanced over the UI and it still looks like ****. What's so good about it (other than it's "light")? I'm more of a "WMP person", myself...

[bolix]

I use Winamp everyday, others seem too heavy just for playing audio while I do other things.

Yes, it was! I browsed by art long before Bento. Shame your screenshot didn't show the media library!

[etempest]

I have to admit, I would not use it for video, but still use it for a audio player that plays just about everything.

I have not tried Winamp for android is it any good. I am currently using Music Mod as my music player?

[NienorGT]

You made me install WinAMP, now what?

I can't even archive to get that view: http://www.ourpix.com/images/media-player/winamp-music-player.jpeg

I've been using Winamp since the 90s as a pure music player. Alternatively, I will use Zune media player but I always find myself coming back to Winamp. I wish I could find the Valkyrie winamp skin again but it seems as the neowin user has been MIA

i used to love winamp and used it as my main media player from 98 til i started using vist ain like 06 or 07. looping video player was great for fapping to 30second free porn clips for years.

but i like the ease of wmp too much to switch back or even give winamp another go now. i don't care if it's super light now, i barely use my system resources most of the time when i do have media playing so that's not even an issue.
