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

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

    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 will keep using it as long as it keeps whipping the llama’s ass.

    Foobar2000 has been working on Linux compatibility, mostly using Wine. At least if you're after Milkdrop visualization compatibility.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This may be a dumb question but is there some reason you can't just use Winamp these days?

    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

    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 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.

    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'm on macOS, so instead I listen to MiniDiscs.

    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.

    My library outgrew it. Did nobody else start having memory issues when your storage started getting up there?

    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.

    We have Audacious running with WinAmp window style with a bunch of custom skins. It’s really nice

    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.

    Moved over to foobar2000 some years ago. Can't beat Facets in terms of how you can bend the views of your library.
