Not what I expected. From the title and article I initially thought they recreated the Winamp UI physically like from actual knobs, sliders, 3D printed parts and waht-not, but no, it's just a large LCD screen displaying an interactive Winamp UI. Disappointed.


About 10 years ago I interviewed with Radionomy for the lead position on the Winamp revival.

By that time I was working on a competing product at another company, and was admittedly a little young for a tech lead position. They didn't hire me.

Years later, in another company, we replied to a call for offers for yet another Winamp project, from the same company. We were 4 mobile app engineers, all super enthousiastic about the prospect and would have been able to deliver.

We didn't get the contract for money reasons.

I still believe Radionomy should have hired me, the first time or the second time, Winamp would be alive and kicking. Dammit!


This is an awesome first step. Next is to replicate the UI with physical controls. I would love having that as as part of an mpd setup.


This whips the llama's ass.
