| lot of my old Media that's hard to find on streaming sites.
|
| It also still supports the DSP plugins, a favourite of mine is
| Stereotool. I wish I could find a way to plug DSPs into Browsers

|
| Anyway - Winamp isn't dead, it's still Whippin' the Llama's ass.

| Wait, winamp didn't work on Windows 10? Why is that? I've been

| long as the underlying OS API was compatible. Is that not the

| EDIT: Ok, after reading the comments, it seems that Winamp does
| indeed work in W10. So I guess that this "update" is not really
| necessary and this is just PR. I understand the reasons, but
| personally I've never felt the need to update.
