News Maker recreates classic Winamp MP3 player in real life with the Linamp, Llamas not included

[Admin]

Those of us around during the early days of MP3 players have fond memories of Winamp. One maker has brought those memories back in the form of a physical audio player with the feel of the venerable software.

As a Winamp user (yes; still), this amuses me.

As a hardcore Winamp user and visualizer collector, this upsets me: they could've used real tactile buttons. Those LCD buttons are a poor imitation.

It really whips the llama's ass!

I agree, I thought it was a physical representation.
Its good, but it could be a lot better
3D Printer to the rescue, and its still open for someone to do

June 8, 2024 - I'm an old guy that had a "comb over" hair style back in the 1980's. Ahh.. memories But to the point.. I just don't get the "No llamas were harmed" reference. Was there a "Llama craze or fad" that I missed out on? I never noticed any Llamas hanging out at the stereo stores, or Greenwich Village coffee shops I hung at. Sooo.. obviously, my question is what's all this chat about Llamas? Thanking you all in advance, and stay well

The OG WinAmp software had a sound clip either in an included file or triggerable in the GUI (I forget which) that played the slogan "WinAmp! It really whips the llamas ass! *Llama bleating noises*".

Useless. I tossed my MP3's ages ago.

June 8, 2024 - Hi DerechoSCK👋 Thank you for you kind and quick response to my question. The fun and nice things about this forum is the number of kind and knowledgeable people that post here. Aside from not knowing about the Llamas, one of my other failings was buying some very expensive Quadraphonic equipment back in the mid to late 70's, and having that Tech die almost immediately. Oh well.. lesson learned, "Don't be an early adopter". Stay well and thanks again

Well, I assume it need to adopt/compile for new Windows versions, and also to include more recent audio file formats, not to speak about support for 4k monitors.

I don't know if this is something that the software must support or if W11 with 4k monitor is actually able to upscale old software gui so that it doesn't look lousy. Oh, wait a minute - I just found this article relevant to this:
