WINAMP, WINamp, winamp... it really...

Still works. Winamp is still my main music player (with classic skin, of course). I run it through Wine on Fedora 28. Some things cause crashes, but the only things I really care about are MilkDrop, the media library, and playlists and they all work fine. I've never been able to find something that comes close to MilkDrop.

Here are my installation instructions (after installing Wine) although I haven't tried them fresh in a few years (Fedora and Wine upgrades haven't screwed anything up):

  $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
  $ chmod +x winetricks
  $ ./winetricks -q directmusic directplay directx9 gdiplus ie8 mfc42 wmp10 windowmanagerdecorated=n
  $ ./winetricks winamp
  Launch Winamp
  To get rid of some weird font issues: Right click Winamp > Options > Preferences... > General Preferences > Playlist > select Use font: MS Sans Serif
  To fix bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12060: Winamp > Options > Preferences... > Plug-ins > Visualization > MilkDrop v2.25c > Configure > WINDOWED settings > Uncheck Integrate with winamp skin

You can get MilkDrop 2 on Kodi, which turned out to be a just fine replacement for winamp once you strip all the other nonsense away.

I used to do this, too, but it eats up a lot of CPU for just a music player. For Linux music, I've moved onto cmus.
