I still use WinAmp for playing music and remember the day AOL got hold of it and the shit they did but I persevered.
I would buy this if someone made it.
Oh wow I would love one of these and I'm with you OP, I still use WinAmp as my media player and hell I have playlists on it since I first downloaded it in the early 2000s.
Are you using MATE?
Good taste in window managers.
I use Audacious on Linux as well, only because it's the closest in looks/functionality to a stock Foobar2k install.
Clementine/Strawberry is supposed to be really good but it's got way too much going on.
Audacious is straightforward and has exactly what I want at my fingertips right out of the box.
I like mpd with ncmpcpp as well but setting all of that up is too much effort.
On Windows, Foobar2k is infinitely better than Winamp no question.
You can get a Milkdrop plugin if you need visualizations.

I've used Audacious a few times. I didn't know you could skin it to match WinAmp.
I had tried that, but it was kinda buggy.
3D print it, and put in some LCDs?I would buy this if someone made it.
Still using Winamp as my main player. It plays chiptunes and it just plays my colossal playlists or labyrinthine folders structures without trying to import all songs into its own database (fuck all media players that enforce this).
Didn't the official application also just get an update to 5.8?
Yeah, I pretty much don't bother with that kind of software anymore. Just google open-source or portable when you look for specific software. Been doing it for years.
iTunes is still, spectacularly, the worst when it comes to this shit. I fucking hate it.
OP
OP
but what happens when you want to EQ? have lyrics available? Keep a play count? Use a different app to play your music?
Idunno. I tried to stick with Apple Music for like 6 months, but what it was doing to my folder organization was unacceptable and if I wanted to use 3rd party apps to play my music (better features, DNLA, whatever reasons I want to use something else) I pretty much couldn't or couldn't in a satisfactory way.
Finally got around to installing foobar2000 and there are so much customization options it's a little daunting. I have it set up right now so my tabs with metadata and playlists are on the left-column, album art directly below that, general music info in the center, and spectrum on the bottom. Debating on the Hello Kitty, plain white, or vintage color. Still a work in progress. do enjoy how little processing it uses; only 25mb where iTunes would use nearly a gig or more the last time I used it. Might install iTunes just to mess around with it and compare between Winamp and foobar. Winamp also has a small footprint at just over 100mb. Going to take some time to re-rip all my CDs but I think that'll be a project I'll work on alongside learning the ins-and-outs of foobar2000. The customization options are great and once you learn it, I can only imagine the possibilities with it.
Is there a Gundam Wing skin available for it?I would buy this if someone made it.
Winamp, man I use to listen to all my music using winamp for the longest time. Nowadays I use iTunes but I still got much love for that ol classic.
I would buy this if someone made it.
Sooo, eh.. hmmm, where do I go to fund this?
You've gotta Winamp in style, man.
I will be sure to bring back my Escaflowne skins
This is tight Tight TIGHTI would buy this if someone made it.
Not bad but I prefer 2.95. Still lean and quick, works great on Windows 10.
Winamp is my favorite player but for some reason it just doesnt work on my laptop. I can play one song and then after that no matter what I do or click in my library, it does not load any other music into it. It just refuses to play anything. I dont understand why, other players work fine.
For real. I saw "OSX aqua skin" and was flooded with nostalgia for my jerry-rigged dorm room PC. I wanted a Mac so hard but was too broke.
Trying to beat my girlfriend's score at Snood, playing Street Fighter over Kaillera, MP3s of the Smallville soundtrack blasting on Winamp. It's all coming back.
That would be a thing of beauty, but I can see it being very hard to engineer, as it would need some kind of actuator that moves the progress handle left and right, that can also be overridden by manually moving the handle.
Thanks for this. I had to dig out some of my original 192k Alkaline Trio MP3 rips.
TTTTTTIIIIMMMMEEE WWWAAAARRRRPPPPPP
I loved Winamp back in the day. If I still listened to music on my PC, I'd still use it for sure. Either that or Foobar.
Ironic? This thread seems pretty sincere to me.

I'm using version 5.56 on Windows 10 and haven't had a problem with it.
You should see somebody still with Cubic player, you'll feel young again :P
edit: damn there's an "Open cubic player" nowadays
...
there's open everything
(only one i saw with this render, too bad the music is not to my taste at all)
never heard of cubic player, seems like the site is still up, old school html and css.
