A brief clip of the Winamp 2.91 startup sound, with its famous audio line about whipping the llama's ass, uploaded as a tribute.

HN commenters post it as a nostalgic joke or pun in Winamp threads, and sometimes for the classic startup audio.

This literally is fast enough to really whip the llamas.. well, you know. And for the younger folk, this mp3 player was the precursor to Spotify: ▶ this video

Ahh memories: ▶ this video Winamp was great because it was lightweight, performant, and did not stand between you and your music.

Man, that audio ( ▶ this video ) makes me so nostalgic. Apparently it was a Wesley Willis reference, too, which just makes it 1000x better.

So nostalgic. In all the example images, the Matrix (1999) soundtrack will play after the Winamp intro sound. ▶ this video

Winamp was a great, music player back in my day that combined features with great, skinnable appearance and visualizations that could leave you in a trance. Plus it had a funnier opening than the competition at the time: ▶ this video
