Winamp Windows Search ⚡🦙

The Ultimate Retro Search Tool for Windows

Winamp Windows Search is a blazing fast, local file indexer that brings back the soul of 90s computing. It combines modern performance with the nostalgic aesthetic of the legendary Winamp media player.

🔮 The Vision

We are building the best Windows search program ever made.

• Current State: A powerful video indexer with instant incremental scanning, duplicate detection, and storage visualization.
• Future Plans: We will slowly integrate more file types, advanced metadata search, and deep shell integration, all while keeping the Winamp spirit alive. Expect more skins, more visualizations, and yes, more hacker music. 🎹
