With Winamp opening its source code later this year, it will hopefully be cool again!

I found this earlier this week, it has to be some of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. The first thing that popped into my mind was "I WANT ONE!"

Behold, the Linamp!

Linamp is a stand-alone hardware music player that aims to be easy to use, have great sound quality, and look good.

Currently, Linamp has the following features:
  • Play music files from the file system (mp3, m4a, FLAC, etc.), including from SMB network mounts.
  • Playlist management for file playback
  • Display a real-time bar spectrum analyzer
  • Display track information, including bitrate and sample rate
  • Control the output volume and balance
  • CD Playback (when connecting an external CD drive), including getting the track information from MusicBrainz
  • Bluetooth and Spotify playback (This is a Work in Progress)

Man, this is awesome!

I haven't done any of that kind of stuff in years, but I'm really considering making myself one. Wow!
 
and the interface seems to be the linux clone of winamp, oddly called "linamp". I used that for years in the early days.

Nice, I didn't know Winamp was available on Linux!

It wasn't the winamp source code, but it did use the format as seen in the pictures. If you think about it, there really isn't that much to winamp.

In linamp, I'd set the display to the small bars in "fire" mode and it looked quite nice.
 
Another hardware Winamp player. It's pretty cool to see different designs. I love that kind of stuff, see what people come up with. :)
