Winamp source code leak

Winamp was still my music player of choice until a little over a year ago when I finally made the switch to MusicBee.

curious, as Winamp still my player of choice and does its job extremely well, but checked out MusicBee just now in case something I missed and saw the iTunes clone interface and closed immediately.

My hero. If I was not on Linux I feel like I'd be on the same boat. On Linux I use mocp which is a console-based directory-based player, so pretty much the same thing.

Weirdly, mocp always led to memory leaks for me on Lubuntu.

These days I mostly listen to soma.fm (you can use mplayer for their feeds[0]) or youtube in browser

There is simple and pretty wrapper around mplayer, I like it https://github.com/uschek/somafm#readme

What are the reasons to switch from Winamp to something else?

I also switched to MusicBee. It has a very modern UI that "just works" as they say. Everything included out of the box no need to bother with plugins for me.
