Not a remake or remaster or rerelease of something old, but something inspired or influenced by something either popular or a cult classic. Also this could extend to hardware/tech too, not only media.

    What specifically do you like about Winamp? I miss the whacky skins and even more so the Milkdrop 2 visualization system. There are some hacky ways to get it to work for Foobar or AIMP. I haven’t checked what’s the case for Linux media players though.

      Nothing too fancy, I like that it can load Fraunhoffer’s mp3PRO plugin 😂. Sadly, I converted most of my collection to mp3PRO back in the day and there’s just too many titles in there to redownload everything. So basically, I just need a player that runs natively on Linux and can load Winamp dll plugins, that’s it. Well… it would be nice if it replicated the classical Winamp look as well 😁.

      Though I do agree, Milkdrop 2 was awesome 👍. It runs with Winamp in Wine though, so that’s not such a big deal.

        Nero’s Soundtrax application, bundled in the Nero Multimedia Suite, is capable of encoding and decoding this format into several others.

        It’s available for free now: https://nero-soundtrax.en.softonic.com/

        If you’re willing to run a windows VM you could probably convert them back to normal MP3s.

          That’ll just make them sound awfull. I know I can, I even have an old copy of Adobe Audition 1.5 that runs perfectly in Wine and supports conversion to mp3PRO and back (Adobe Audition was Cool Edit before it got bought by Adobe), but… that will be the second time these files have been converted 😔.
