- derefr 5y agoIs there still as yet no Linux-native reimplementation of Winamp? (in the sense that it's a lightweight program that 1. plays music and 2. loads Winamp skins + faithfully renders its UI using them, presumably being designed from the ground up primarily to use Winamp skins.) That's doubly-surprising, given that there's already a web reimplementation of Winamp (https://webamp.org/ https://webamp.org/) that does those things. (And it's "lightweight" in terms of not pulling in any JS frameworks; but not especially "lightweight" in terms of you needing a full web browser to run it.)
- bitwize 5y agoThere's XMMS and Audacious. XMMS started life as X11Amp.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoWasn't audacious (https://audacious-media-player.org/ https://audacious-media-player.org/) supposed to be that? ;o
- marcodiego 5y agoTo get a good retro feeling, I once compiled the most recent gtk 1.x version available and then compiled xmms on a raspberry pi. Worked flawlessly. But yes, there are modern and maintained implementations that support winamp skins. I think qmmp is one of those.
- smoldesu 5y agoI don't really use Winamp through WINE very often, mostly just a party trick for disenfranchised Windows users :p If you're looking for a no-frills native Linux audio player, I recommend Quod Libet[0] wholeheartedly. Nothing fancy, but it has loads of organizational features bolstered by a rock-solid GTK3 codebase. Genuinely have no complaints with it, I'm really impressed with how polished and feature-complete it is.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoI would also suggest Quod Libet, also for the tag editor Ex Falso
