    It looks like WinAmp finally has all of their properties in order, and is being properly developed: [Winamp](https://www.winamp.com). That took a while!

      It took a long time, but I got the new version about 2 months or so ago and like it. Although the appearance hasn't changed much.

          Extra points to them for doing exactly that. One of the big features of Winamp at the time was its extensive reskinning capabilities. So, it only makes sense that they wouldn't spend much resources on changing the default UI.

            Hmm, don't know about that I was expecting the new telepathic UI? :)

              Winamp's been asking me to install the new version for months now and so far I've declined. I like this version that I've used for the last 22 years or so :D

                One of my old bosses met Justin Frankel, said he was a real quiet guy, reserved guy. Just goes to show, you never know what people can do based on first impressions alone.

                  That's got to be annoying. Is there no option to tell it *not* to look for updates? Failing that, can you block (with your hosts file, or whatever) the site it's connecting to so it cannot determine whether there's an update available and thus keep it quiet? I'm reminded of the Winzip trial nagware splashscreen asking a buddy of mine to register his version for 3,000+ days...he just got used to it.

                    You're right, it is annoying. Just googled if it can be turned off and apparently it's simply a checkbox in settings (together with "send anonymous usage statistics"). Why didn't I think of that before? :laugh:

                    That's a bit unfair. It's a good product and it's free. I start nagging too when my customers don't pay (and after 3,000+ days I'm not as friendly as Winzip about it) :D
