I really miss Winamp!

Audacious. It's compatible with the skins, even.
Man I had so many custom skins for Winamp. It really was a different time back then.
I (author of Webamp) worked with the internet archive to archive ~50k Winamp skins. The collection even features Webamp integration is you can try them out in the browser. https://archive.org/details/winampskins
I really appreciate your work, this is awesome.
Wow!! Dear sir, you are quite the superhero! Winamp is one of my favourite applications!
Also follow your @winampskins twitter bot for daily nostalgia :)
Does it work with milkdrop? That visualiser is exceptional. Unfortunately project M isn't as good.
I always preferred Geiss, but either way, I wish such visualisation capabilities were built in to Spotify... Or is there a suitable in_xxx plugin for Winamp that will let me use its visualisations with Spotify?
Beautiful! Brings me back to my early teens. We've really lost something in modern software.
You are the Hero we need but not the one we deserve.
I'm using a Macross Plus Winamp skin for QMMP as I write this, so it was funny to read your comment...I got so sick of iTunes that a few years ago I went back to the old way. I wrote some scripts to select & generate playlists and bound the scripts to keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Super+Media Keys. QMMP has been really solid.
That last sentence took an unexpected turn.
Can't you still use it? I still use it.
Yep, still using build 5666, the last build before Nullsoft got bought out.
I think it’s build 3615, version 5.666, right?
You can say thanks for the memories buy purchasing a copy of Reaper, and get a serviceable DAW in the process..
For those who don’t get the connection, Reaper is made by Justin Frankel who was the original developer of Winamp.
One promising continuation is WACUP

I still use Winamp.
Same, I was also a fan of Sonique [1]
