Does it run on Linux?

unfortunately i'm pretty sure the answer to that is no for both old and new winamp.

well yeah i'd imagine it can essentially be emulated (i don't use linux, but my understanding is that for at least the popular distributions there is relatively little headache in doing that), but i think the person was asking if there was a native version for linux

@alyaza I was just mentioning the other day that WinAmp was the best music player ever, and I missed it "It really kicks the llamas ass."
