I had used Winamp since its original release, but when development on it seemed to die off and it looked like it was becoming abandonware, I switched to MusicBee, which I thoroughly love. Maybe there's better software out there, but I've yet to find it.

Anyone remember Songbird?

Darren Owen (Dr_O) keeps Winamp updated here at the Winamp Community Update Project: https://getwacup.com/ He's been releasing new updates every few months for the last couple of years, and it's great. It's still how I use/listen to a lot of my old Media that's hard to find on streaming sites. It also still supports the DSP plugins, a favourite of mine is Stereotool. I wish I could find a way to plug DSPs into Browse…

He was also involved with the original developers for many years.

I personally love foobar2000. Tons of customization, lots of plugins and honestly it's just amazing imho. edit: http://foobar2000.com/

Foobar2000 is also in the microsoft store which avoids a load of 'find the right download button that isnt an ad pretending to be a download button' nonsense

I knew I had to get Winamp again when I saw a site with an insane collection of themes. Probably one of the only times I would make a switch because themes

I have very fond memories of foobar2000. Mostly I just loved how fast it was to use!

Does anyone know of an equivalent for the Mac?

I'm with you there. I switched to foobar2000 back in the early 2000's after getting royally fed up with WinAmp becoming crashy and to be honest I just hated the UI (I never found a skin I liked). I still use it today as my main music player, it deserves more attention.
