Anyone knows if it's going to be released as open-source for community
dev.? I really would like to keep using it and future developments.
I use the Free and Lite ver. because it's like the 2.xx vers. but with
all the improvements of ver 5.

Ah WinAmp, the best media player of them all until AOL happened to it...
It's still my favourite. Oh well, I still have the installer on my
harddrive. I guess I can still continue to use it forever. (Or at least,
until it bitrots into oblivion...)

Of course, it's also possible that, due to licensing issues, they can't
open source it.

I thought VLC was just a buggy video player...

Yes, I hope it isn't the case, well, like the song says: "que sera, sera..."

The thing that I wonder about is their MP3 decoder. Though Thompson (I
think is who owns the patents on MP3) typically is more concerned about
encoding than decoding.

Hit send just as another thought entered my mind....
Getting code released as GPL might require permission from multiple
authors, too - just like POVRay required - though obviously that's not an
impossible feat, since Chris managed it. :)

I was in touch yesterday with DJ Egg from Winamp Support and he wrote
that MPC-HC & VLC had .dts decoder and other decoders WinAmp didn't
have, because the authors were impossible to trace back, so maybe they
can simply take the free/Lite part of Winamp and open source it and
replace the codecs with those of MPC-HC & VLC also on codecs.com you can
find many codec packs, probably many of them legal or impossible to
rtace back, MPC-HC uses about the same codec set as 'K-Lite Mega Codec
Pack', so I think WinAMp could survive just fine being developed by the
community, but rumors has it that Micro$oft is trying to buy it, that's
kinda of bad news, those big companies don't do thing for free or
listening much to what people want and Windows Media Player it's not a
good player, full bugs and hanging, so I'm afraid that's the fait of
WinAmp; we'll have to see what happens and hope for the best.
