There’s still a bunch of bugs and issues to work out, as you can see in the Known Issues section of the post and the four pages of comments. Unfortunately, this update does mean that you will need at least Windows 7 to run the new Winamp. There are no complaints here since I don’t think people were looking for too many changes.
'To the end-user, it might not seem like there's a whole heap of changes, but the largest and hardest part was actually migrating the entire project from VS2008 to VS2019 and getting it all to build successfully,” the post reads. To get Winamp updated, developers say most of the work was dedicated to upgrading the back-end coding of the audio player. The original skins, like Winamp Classic, Winamp Modern, Bento, and Big Bento are still around and you can just as easily import your favorite skin. Good ol’ days - Luckily, the reboot stays fairly true to the original Winamp vibe from the late ‘90s. Still, the developers preserved that classic skin and intro audio clip that instantly transports you back to the days of unfettered music piracy. The latest version is updated for the modern era, but it’s a fairly new release so it still has some kinks to work out.
