My music player is Audacious (itself a fork of XMMS I believe) with the classic WinAmp skin. Using this just makes me happy whereas using more modern apps or streaming services just make me feel confused.
- tecleandor 4y agoI was chekcing the wikipedia and... Audacious began as a fork of Beep Media Player, which itself is a fork of XMMS.[...] Before version 3.0, Audacious used the GTK 2.x toolkit by default. Partial support for GTK3 was added in version 2.5,and Audacious 3.0 has full support for GTK3 and uses it by default. However, dissatisfied with the evolution of GTK3, the Audacious team chose to revert to GTK2 starting with the 3.6 release, with long-term plans of porting to Qt. Since August 8, 2018, the official website has HTTPS enabled site-wide and GTK3 support was dropped completely. As version 4.0, Audacious is using Qt as its primary toolkit but the GTK 2.x support is still available. That's quite a development trip!
- danwills 4y agoI am using Audacious every day on a Gentoo Linux (I can only assume it's a fairly recent version) and it still has a choice old-school 'skinned' UI mode that loads classic xmms skins (that can make it look just like old Winamp) and there's double-pixel mode too so it's not as tiny on modern desktops.. it's probably not for everyone but I love it!
