for windows yes it's still true!! but in that 20 years I've also moved on from windows: nothing comes close on macos and on Linux I've been using audacious which i must say does sound amazing.
lack of cross platform options inspired me to start reAMP:
https://github.com/conceptualspace/reAMP https://github.com/conceptualspace/reAMP
it's still very much an experiment but the end goal is an open source player made with the same love of music that inspired the original winamp. some of the features im working on:
- smart shuffle algorithm: no repeats until playlist exhausted; randomized between artists so artists with many songs do not monopolize the playlist
- studio quality audio analysis (VU meter, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, full track waveform, displays for bitrate, samplerate, channels, format, encoder)
- controls to loop, change tempo
- remote control via mobile with queuing and adding youtube URLs ('party mode')
- logarithmic volume control
- magicalhippo 6y agoThat looks great! I settled for foobar2000 after giving up on Winamp not long ago, but one thing I sorely miss is cue file support. That is, being able to add a cue file that points to a flac/mp3 file and have the songs show up in the playlist. Though one thing from foobar2000 that I'd miss is Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP plugin, as I listen to music mostly via headphones. Does reAMP have something similar?
- ubercow13 6y agocue files definitely work fine in foobar2000. What doesn't work? You can even edit cue sheets as if they were normal tagged single-track files. There is also this plugin that makes them behave a bit more nicely: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=117167.0 https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=117167.0
- magicalhippo 6y agoOh lol. I've got the "register supported formats on startup", yet it hasn't registered cue files. So I just assumed it didn't support them... Well then, cheers!
- stelonix 6y agoI was amazed to find out foobar2000 works great under Wine, including input & output plugins, so I just use it. Best ML management IMO. Can't recall if I ever got the Winamp AVS plugin to work though.
- ubercow13 6y agoAVS works pretty well in Wine
- stelonix 6y agoI meant it on foobar2000 with its foo_vis_shpeck plugin, which is a wrapper for Winamp visualization plugins. I have run it successfully under Windows but I recall having trouble on Wine some 5 years ago.
- ubercow13 6y agoYes that's how I use it, shpeck is a little funky under Wine but it basically works correctly. I think it will crash in some cases if you stop the visualisation when it's attached to the main window or something, I forget. I run it in a separate f2k install that just has a single shpeck instance filling the whole window, and receives audio input from pulseaudio's loopback.

- krob 6y agothank you for building such a nice player. Can this use jackd?; for low latency audio playback.
