    Digging up the bones of an ancient mp3 player (again) to try to wring more money out of it simply because you own the rights isn’t a “comeback”. This really doesn’t whip the llama’s ass. ☹️

    It’s just this again.

    These guys seem to pop their heads up once a year. Last time they were putting NFT’s into Winamp. Just let it die.

    Translation: Winamp will be ruined by corporate greed in 2027.

    All I want is a simple, nostalgic media player.

    That isn’t ‘coming back’. Thats ‘we have the rights to the name,so let’s launch a new program with the same name to get free clout and easy money’.

    Can vibecode a winamp-clone in like 5 hours & the resulting app would never try to monetize me. Of course I don’t have to because Foobar -or rather Fooyin on Linux- is better than Winamp ever were…
