    Such a neat piece of software, I remember streaming internet radio (somafm) and trying out different skins on my windows xp laptop back in the early 2000’s and just feeling like the cyberpunk future had arrived. Milkdrop was my gateway drug. Fun seeing it make a comeback, I hope it develops a healthy community and we get some good software out of it. Internet drama be damned.

      Thing is, their license denies that outright.

      • No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.
      • No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.
      • Official Distribution: Only the maintainers of the official repository are allowed to distribute the software and its modifications.

      Of course, this license is in direct violation of GitHub’s ToS, which states that by hosting publicly on GitHub you accept that anyone can see and fork your code.

          You would still not be allowed to to redistribute it though. Others would not be able to build your code and distribute binaries either. Just the act of creating a fork is not enough to create a viable project.

      SomaFM is still around.

      It looks like Qmmp can use WinAMP skins.

      Apparently archive.org has a library of WinAMP skins.

      Milkdrop was my gateway drug.

      That was reimplemented as projectM, and there’s apparently a Qmmp plugin.
