It’s coming back with a monthly subscription.
It’s dead already, then. WinAmp’s heritage was providing a free audio player. I was looking forward to a refreshed build to test out, but I won’t pay for it.
There are a dozen better, free, maintained, and actively developed players out there. This is less than too little, and far too late. Those of us who used winamp back when it was still activly developed will continue to have nostalgia for it, but I bet it will be DOA to most of the target audience.
I’ve only kept up on news for it because I was hoping it would be reborn true to itself. I have zero interest in it as a subscription model.

Okay, so yes, but do you have an example for linux? For I have checked out loads and not a single one can both do “next song” (only fast forward, facepalm), and random play the playlist/folder (with one doing it by scrambling the playlist itself smh).
I have a fruit named one thats does it but is a pita for everything else.
