Is it really bad that I still use Winamp daily? I keep seeing things come up about how people remember it with nostalgia. I've never found a better music player which supports so many formats (XM, YM, S3M, MP3, OGG, et al).
- amelius 9y agoDoes the JS version also support these formats?
- captbaritone 9y agoAuthor here. It supports all media formats that your browser can play.
- arthur_pryor 9y agoi still use winamp on my main desktop. on my work mac, i tend to use VLC. i do not like itunes. it's been a long time since i've needed to listen to music on a *nix machine. i typically have my rockboxed ipod handy anyway. plus soundcloud, youtube, bandcamp, mixcloud, etc, of course. but for stuff in my collection, it's usually winamp, the ipod, or vlc.
- JamesFM 9y agoCheck out Foobar 2000. I think it’s the best media player ever made.
- yoodenvranx 9y agoFoobar is amazing but it takes some time to learn all the features and find all the good plugins
- daurnimator 9y agoI loved Foobar2000 with the ColumnsUI. Since that extension broke back in ~2008 I've never been happy with a music player. The fact that foobar2000 wasn't open source eventually drove me away.
- yummy 9y agoI've been using foobar2000+ColumnsUI since 2009 (or maybe 2008) and it never broke. I have the most recent foobar2000 and CUI
- senorjazz 9y agosame, I use it all day everyday. Plays music and I can drag files / folders into the playlist. What more do you want?
- agildehaus 9y agoSoundPlay on BeOS. It could play MP3s backwards (!) and load any Winamp skin. Big deal at the time.
- kitotik 9y agoHa. Such fond memories. I remember being able to play multiple mp3 files simultaneously(just because you could!) in BeOS at a time when win98 was lucky to play one without stutters and pops.
- alanh 9y agoImpressively, QuickTime could play multiple movies in multiple directions simultaneously on Windows 98.
- Andrenid 9y agoI do too, and I've always wanted Winamp on Android. Just a full screen remake of the basic Winamp window. Wonder if this could be ported now with one of the JS->APK tools.
