Whoever is Winamp today, what they want to revive is not their old cool audio player, but just ride on the name and sell some modern piece of crap that has nothing to do with classic Winamp.


I imagine that in the age of streaming music it would be a hard sell to produce a new offline music player.


Yeah, and we don't really need one, either. Winamp5 and VLC and others all still work fine for those of us who keep offline collections.


I do both: stream and play offline stuff. For the former, I use YouTube Music, which is incredibly awful, but at least it does work.

The website version of YouTube Music that I use on the PC is all right, but the app version I use on my phone is a usability mess. Google Music was so much better, but Google has become Microsoft. They're too big to care about making their products good any more.

For offline playing on my computer, I use Winamp. Full stop.
