Winamp was pretty cool. When I switched to Linux, many years
ago, I wanted to have winamp too. I think I used bmp for a while
until it died; before that xmms but that one also sort of died. Meanwhile some other GUI showed up, I forgot the name. I kind of
gave up on winamp, mostly because my use cases shifted. I went
to mplayer, then mpv, and now I am too used to using mpv for
literally anything related to audio and video (which in turn uses
ffmpeg of course). I kind of built a commandline helper variant
that just plays anything I have local - audio, video. I could
probably go and find a nice UI again, and that may have advantages
such as simply scrolling through the list or setting ad-hoc favourites,
but I don't quite need it anymore; I am faster with the keyboard
too, so my use cases changed. To play all audio from Hans Zimmer,
for instance, I may type "rsong Zimm" or something like that. (I
also alias a lot so I may just type "zimmer" instead, but most of
the time if I use it I just have it default to random selection as
I don't care what is played normally.) |

You can still configure it to look like XMMS.
