Of course the irony is, when Spoify goes under you will be loosing more than just future updates to a piece of software that will continue to function forever ;)

Windows only and closed source. Sad times, this would be a lot of fun.

Can we have a version of soundcloud that looks like the old mp3.com so I can fully pretend it's 1997 again?

We did not have the resources to make a Mac and Linux version unfortunately.

What would it take? Maybe a kickstarter campaign is in order :)

wine may work - I see the application starting up, but I don't have a premium account to confirm full functionality.

Wine works, colleague just tested it on Debian.

Just seeing the screenshot put me right into nostalgia mode, looks like they really nailed the interface.

Such a shame this isn't available for OS X, as I'm already a Spotify premium subscriber, and I loved Winamp.

Can anyone confirm if the EQ on this actually works? As I've never noticed an EQ in the standard Spotify app.

yes, the eq works just as you'd remember it, presets are even there.

also, apparently although I've not tested it yet, the visualisation plugins work too!

Oh wow, think I might have to install this on the GF's Windows laptop.

Runs perfectly fine with Wine.

Apparantly, Winamp might not be dead after all: http://tech2.in.com/news/software/winamp-may-not-be-killed-b...

Nice bit of marketing from Spotify. I can't see myself using it but if it really is a lot more lightweight than the Spotify client it could be a great alternative for those on low powered machines.

Wow. Just Wow. As much as I love Spotify for its music, I have long missed the minimalist winamp interface. This is now my default spotify player. Amazing. Thank you.
