    Why did they wait so long

      They just want to get profit from the purchase but they are no longer competitive.

      Looks like they are looking for suckers to contribute to their code base for free without even making it actually open source.

      IMO at this point WinAmp does not offer anything beyond name recognition and nostalgia. Isn’t qmmp essentially an open source version of WinAmp?

        Even as nostalgia, I just tried out loading a winamp skin from the winamp skin museum someone linked further up with qmmp and it handles that just fine too. So I’ll be just using that going forward.
