Why there is no available version of AIMP for Linux and macOS?

[Rustedwolf]

ORLY? So, why "your best" OS still not have "best" software?

    Milo: If they're so great, how come they're not tearing up the charts, babe?
    Rex: Because you never play them, babe. You suck.

Same with your dev team - because you never write it...

I have used these OS and I don't like it. So, I have no idea why I should develop software to OS that I don't like.

[Rustedwolf]

Because it would be a good developer practice? You know, platform independent software, bigger audience, keeping up with the trends or just simple politeness.

I'm not here to say "well you probably used in the old days and now it's different" - it's your decision on what to use. I'm personally using Linux Mint and haven't had that much of the problem with it (all best dev software is available there as well), but if I would develop software just for that platform - that would make me a hypocrite and a bad developer at the same time, since I would lose some of the audience.
 
But if we take for example MacOS... that's a premium software we're talking about, comrade. Most of the "cool kids" (developer rock stars, artists, pro's) use it. The reason you probably don't use it, it really hard to pirate it as most of the eastern Europe / Asia do with Windows software. Since tech-savy Linux users aren't interesting for you, why you don't want to drag the attention of mac users? The only good reason not to develop for Mac would be not having one to test software on it.

I don't believe in ideal world. Who will pay for development and support? Why it should be me?

[Rustedwolf]

Why it should be me?

It's your software, close source. Who if not you? In the end you're the one to decide. Don't want to do it? Fine. Just had to say from the start, not making bunch of excuses.

=) Open sources will not solve it - people will not waste their time to re-write Windows-specified code to thier OS for free.

If you want to try to port it I will share sources of player's core for you.

Guys, stop whinging that the free shit isn't free enough.

Ух тыыы, с 2015 года не заходил сюда!!! 5 лет уж прошло. Зашёл сейчас посмотреть какие есть новости, а оказалось, что "воз и ныне там" - нет версии AIMP для Линукса. А жаль... С Windows'ом-то много лет уже не работаем, но на мобильнике AIMP иногда используем.
Если я правильно понял, то и не предвидится версии для Linux пока, да?

Позиция разработчика однозначна и не раз уже была опубликована. Не нужно ждать AIMP на Linux. Потратьте это время на создание своего плеера для Linux или пообщайтесь с разработчиками уже созданных плееров.

Microsoft never liked Linux, they even payed and bought companies (SCO) to do anything they could to stop linux advancing (SCO was the UNIX trademark/license holder back in the day, on which linux is anchored (via the Minix clone linus torvals once wrote))

nowadays, Microsoft still hates Linux, it's one of their biggest threats, especially on the servermarket they feel the heat of linux, also on the embedded market it's all linux... 

Still, microsoft has written quite some linux code, and even has a dedicated linux team nowadays, because it knows it's not important what Microsoft wants, but it's important what it's customers want...   Microsoft has learned that the hard way, very painfully...  in the '90s they were so happy they crushed novell and it's netware, now they were sure they would dominate the server market (except for mainframe), they even laughed at "free" linux-servers, nobody serious would use those... then Dell went Linux for server, then Compaq/HP started using it and soon all major companies had at least a few linux servers...    Today microsoft servers are mainly used to work with the desktops, to have a Domain Controller and have user rights and services for the users, but to the internet it's often nto more then the exchange server (for mail), IIS is mainly not available to the world as LAMP servers do a way better job and are deemed more secure.

if you want or don't want to develop for linux is your choice, just better not regret your choice later on.
for those who really want AIMP on linux; it seems to run fine on WINE, so don't whine about it, it's better to have it run in wine then not at all!
