I liked winamp when I was using windows.

I think any winamp clone should run on OSX Windows and Linux.

I understand that cross-platform code may be annoying, but we really need applications that work on the three main operating systems.



I’m not entirely sure we need a Winamp clone on MacOS anyway. It seems unreasonable to expect that everyone who ever builds consumer software should make it work on every machine, though.

Why not also insist that it should work on iOS and Android? Those are undoubtedly the most commonly-used OSes at this point.

It’s not. Stop supporting vendor lock-in toolkits and you’re golden.
