Winamp returns in 2019 to whip the llama’s ass harder than ever

Now thats a blast from the past. The hours I spent trying to get a skin which matched my WindowBlinds one exactly.
I also enjoyed making WinAmp skins ha ha.Successfully building my first Winamp skin was one of the highlights of my teenage years.
Submitted a badly drawn in MS Paint Stick Figure skin where they were being tutored (stick death was all the rage back then) i.e. the EQ slider involved pulled the heads off of some figures at the bottom complete with blood trails. The mod comment was "Approved... we think" ha ha, which was a highlight since usually they just posted them up with the generic "approved" comment. Just so I don't sound too depraved, another skin of mine was just SMB3 themed.
A pity those files are long gone.
For those wanting to relive some nostalgia without leaving the browser you can check out a browser-based classic Winamp with playlist, skin support, visualizations, and EQ all usable.
Winamp nostalgia is real.
Over 1 million skins and 99.999999999999999999999969% of them were chintz. lol

Still using Winamp every day :-D
Just searched the web for my old homemade Winamp skin.. last time i looked, 5 years ago, i found it.. but now it's gone :-O
wasn't anything special, but still, called cpu-amp, had a little chip instead of the lightning logo, pretty ugly :-P

Use MPC-BE, a fork of MPC-HC which that is very much still in development.

This is awesome. Thanks for this. ^_^
Windows Media player all day.
I just click next next next on initial startup and then clunkily search for and play (most) of my music!

Yes. XMPlay is an exceptional player. Less than 500 KB, no installation, excellent compatibility, great sound quality, simple skinning support.
I use this skin:
From the link:
That . . . . actually is a pretty good selling point. I hope it stays lightweight and customizable for mobile.

but it had the best skins. remember skins? oh those were the days
Holy shit, this takes me back.
Came here to say this.
Foobar2000 became my go-to, especially because of consistent updates and it has a ton of functionality.
Those were my go-to's for music listening in the late 90's. They really whipped the llama's ass.
It still plays all my music just as well as other player why would I change.
I can't get used to musicbee and I've tried it for a while now. back to Winamp I go!
I still use Winamp... I'm using it right now to listen to AnimeNFO. I never could find another program that worked as well for me.
I use Winamp on my 27 inch imac flashed to Windows 10,but it doesn't scale properly on my Surface Pro. :( if it did I would use it unilaterally.
Love it for making mixes and play lists. Simple fast, and easy.

I was at a bar this summer and I could see a PC set up behind the bar to run the music it was running it off winamp.
I loved winamp, but I haven't had music that wasn't from a streaming service since Rdio was a thing.

Am I missing something? There's clearly an option for replaygain (album, track, etc.) under DSP.
Cheers! I haven't looked at new skins for a while, that Midnight skin is a great match for Win10.
i use winamp to break down nsf files for the band so as long as they keep the ability for plugins im stoked
Yes, it can use replaygain if it's in the metadata of the audio file. But it can't calculate the replaygain data to write it into the metadata in the first place, I would need another program for this and do it manually. Winamp, Foobar, MusicBee all can do this.
