Raspinamp gives you Winamp on a Raspberry Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi @hacksterio

AudioWanderer presents on YouTube their take on Winamp running on a Raspberry Pi with an LCD display.

First released in 1997 by Nullsoft, Winamp became the go-to Windows software for playing back digital audio.Winamp’s customizable interface drove major success, though the release of the ill-received Winamp 3 spelled its downfall — thankfully for its original creators a few years after they sold their company, Nullsoft, to AOL for $80 million.

The Raspinamp, as the name implies, is a dedicated Winamp device — or, at least, is designed to look that way. Inside the acrylic housing is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B single-board computer (SBC) with a touchscreen display mounted on top. The Raspberry Pi automatically boots into Raspberry Pi OS, then loads the open source QMMP audio player — compatible with themes written for Winamp 2, providing that nostalgic look-and-feel.
