Winamp 6, due out in 2019, aims to whip more llama ass

Rejoice, llama-whipping fans, a new version of Winamp is set to be released in 2019, according to a Monday report by TechCrunch. Alexandre Saboundjian, the CEO of Radionomy, said that the upgrade would bring a "complete listening experience."

[...] The Belgian company that bought Winamp from AOL in January 2014 hasn't really done much with it since buying the remnants of the property just months after AOL finally pulled the plug.

Winamp.

  I am quite pleased with mixxx, as whatever file you throw at it gets analyzed (most importantly gain, but bpm is useful too), has crates (akin to tagging, it has playlists too ofc), master gain and eq. The big problems with other players is the gain difference between tracks, sometimes even when replaygain is enabled or recognized. Most notably, it stores everything in a plain sqlite3 db, so importing/ exporting playlists to other text based formats is less buggy. I DJ on it, for more complicated playback work I have been using mpv so I can have an eq curve for each track and a big ass play time display.

  Now that I think of it I should list mixcloud among my music players. Like spotify, but complete mixes, no ads. It is also legal as they pay they royalties (I guess they sell listener data to make up for it or something)

    I thought the whole point of a dj was the human reading the crowd and picking appropriate tunes. How do you get gigs as a bot?
