Someone said it was explicitly written with Windows in mind, so the Linux port will probably take some time. Converting all the Win API calls will take some time.

Just like everyone else, at one point I used WinAMP, then when they started the upgrade to new and significantly more hardware demanding version I switched to Aimp, which to this day I use as mobile application. Am no longer on Windows, but I still miss those applications. VLC simply doesn’t fit that role of a music player.
Open sourcing WinAMP means we’ll probably get a ported version for Linux, which I am very much looking forward to.

If the port isn’t named Linamp then I’ll be mildly irritated.

While xmms is dead there’s qmmp. Supports xmms and winamp 2 skins.

I used both and things felt off. WinAMP of old was no nonsense player. Once version 3.x came it wasn’t as popular and it was much more of a polished product but came with bunch of features that weren’t needed in my opinion.
