Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version"
I predict Winamp will boldly go nowhere. Way too little, way too late, imho. Kinda sad because I remember when Winamp was a godsend.

I'm using the refreshed Winamp now and thoroughly enjoying Milkdrop. To each their own!

speaking of the small spectrum analyzer thing, isn't the frequency scaling used by this part in Winamp just a glorified Mel scale? I've recently recently made a Desmos graph about this

The encoder seems to be there as a MSVC library.
Could you share a link / path to the folder?

Seems the idiots in charge did some cleaning. The very initial commit (which I acquired), had a static FHG AAC encoder. Likewise for the MP3 decoder.
wow, interesting.
anyway, a little too late I guess, even ignoring the legality perspective, FDK is practically good enough for most use cases including Bluetooth; also for Bluetooth there's zero chance FHG would be (easily) used anyway in the timespan where it matters (and new BT codecs are eventually coming).

Here is the encoder: LOL
https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/blob/9c7f91496c56738fd707905f257643b792c05bb9/Src/Plugins/Encoder/enc_fhgaac/mp4FastAAClib.lib
Wonder how legal would it be to change the wrapper CLI encoder around the Winamp one to use this encoder directly.....
It's not the source code though is it?
What i see looks like a compiled code
