I still kick on the HTML5 port Webamp every now and then. It's a relic of a time when we tried to make apps look like their equivalent home electronics.
I absolutely love Foobar2000, and one of the biggest reasons is the plugins that allow it to play lots of different chiptune formats. Also I love that its UI is practical and doesn't get in my way.
I always preferred NAD as an mp3 player. I loved the see through hole in the default skin.
Plus the dev would get stoned out of his gourd on mushrooms and it helped him create a very efficient mp3 decoder. It always has a lower CPU usage than anything else out there, and imo sounded crisper.
I keep thinking about taking an old phone, replacing the battery (because they were easy to do) and turning it into an mp3 player. Only problem is I want a few buttons.
I was until I switched to Linux last year. But I had issues getting Winamp to run properly via wine, and none of the native Linux successors I found handled Winamp skins the way I wanted them to, so sadly I was forced to find a different music player.
While it doesn't support skins, I don't think, Fooyin has a similar feel to Winamp that I was accustomed too, it was my main music player before switching to Linux.
Interesting I remember using it for flac back in the day, but I did have to add some plugins for various codecs and whatnot so maybe I added it at the time. Was probably 2.95 version or older though.
Surprised there isn't a larger format skin that you could find, but then it be old now and lost to antiquity
I forgot the days of codec hunting. I recall downloading the second season of Blueseed and the audio was all in Ogg Vorbis. Someone else was using the phone line so I was SOL until they were done.
I assume you’re taking about downloading vs streaming rather than winamp? How many tracks do you have? If you have a desktop, you can just buy a cheap and slow but large HDD and put your music on it. It will always be fast enough to play it anyway. I feel like it will take you a while to go beyond 4TB.
The last version fixed a scaling issue with win 10 +but I can not get the setting to stick every time I have to uncheck and recheck apply to the compatibility setting for DPI fix and setting it to system enhanced.
I use power amp fx and the scaling in the windows is horrible you can barely see them.

If you want a more modern software with the Winamp feel, the Audacious player supports Winamp skins.

Qmmp as well

I'd totally rock a real physical winamp as a mp3 player.

Hell yeah, just give it Bluetooth, a headphone jack, and USB-C, for data transfer and loading.

The bar to create a new one was so low that anyone could do it. I think that contributed to people's affinity to it.

Foobar2000 has been working on Linux compatibility, mostly using Wine. At least if you're after Milkdrop visualization compatibility.
orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 109d
Working on? I run it on my Linux box. I saved the last installer before it got sold off a million years ago. Love it still.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 109d
Same, actually. I don't remember much of the deal with it but it's one of many installers in the repository from the Before Times.
At some point, though I recall they were trying to have a formal release that wasn't just the windows version on wine.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 108d
Linux native? Can you upload the installer, or link to a site where I can find it? I miss foobar

I still use Winamp on my computer. Tho I wish I could hook it up to stream from my Spotify account so I had more music without using my entire ssd.

It supports the old skins, and the portable install is neat on a usb stick.

Try Strawberry instead.

Theres also audacious, it runs on Linux and supports winamp skins.
Dagamant@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 109d
It does? I’ve never seen that. Been using it forever and never thought to look at skin options
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 109d
How do you use Winamp skins in Strawberry?
HexesofVexes@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 109d
Moc all the way on Linux; teamed up with radion and castero you're good to go for anything.
Wacup's nice if you're wanting old winamp skins to work on the forced windows ecosystem of the workplace ;)

bus_factor@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 108d
Audacious only handles WinAmp 2.x skins. I believe the newer versions of WinAmp changed something, or at least added some skinnable windows.
Jarix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 109d
This may be a dumb question but is there some reason you can't just use Winamp these days?
desertdruid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 108d
For me it's just too tiny and there is no way to scale it without it becoming a blurry mess on Windows.
That and the lack of FLAC support.
I just use foobar2000 now when I'm on Windows

What skin? There were so many thousands I swapped out every week or two just for fun.
Winamp + limewire = it was an awesome combination. I burned most of them to CD'd so I could take them to work with me.
Now everything I burned back then fits on the USB drive in my backpack.

The last version fixed a scaling issue with win 10 +but I can not get the setting to stick every time I have to uncheck and recheck apply to the compatibility setting for DPI fix and setting it to system enhanced.
I use power amp fx and the scaling in the windows is horrible you can barely see them.
