The current owner of Winamp tried to open source the Winamp 5 source code, but there were so many problems with the launch that they had to delete the repo. Things like a license that prevented the repo from being forked (which violates Github's terms of service), and the repo contained licensed proprietary code from companies like Dolby and Intel that wasn't supposed to be open sourced, things like that. They didn't understand how Git works so they unsuccessfully tried to delete the infringing code.
It's off whipping ass
It exists, but I'm pretty sure it's not the media player you remember so fondly.
These days, I'm just using Audacious with the default Winamp skin from the Winamp Skin Museum. It scratches the itch well enough.
Aw man......no android port. I was excited for a second.
This implementation is fine but the text to speech is meh, Google's uses https://google-research.github.io/seanet/soundstorm/examples/ which is unfortunately not open source
You could probably swap out the TTS engine. I'd like to hear a podcast narrated by Microsoft Sam.
