What Hacker News says
6 sourcesWow! Awesome job, especially for 2005. Do you have the code anywhere? Do you mind if I add you to the "predecessors" section of my readme? https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js#predecessors
In Winamp2-Js: A Reimplementation of Winamp 2.9 in HTML5 and JavaScriptWould you mind filing issues of any of these things that you noice? https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js/issues I'd love to get as close as possible, and some things I just haven't noticed yet. In other cases, there are technical limitations.

2 points · Open discussion> It's more suited to applications that require a URI for a single file.
Why exactly is it more suited?
> I don't see how it can be applied here, or what benefit it has over a simple list.
Winamp supported playlists containing http urls.
If it supported magnet urls you would have every feature of your proposal and tooling to build other applications on.
You could build this in about an hour and see a portable durable playlist.
