Winamp for Windows 10 is called Foobar.

Just downloaded this... changed the scaling for my 4k monitor and works perfectly. I think for my music listening I'm switching back to winamp from vlc.

Eh? I don't think there are any issue with finding download section on foobar homepage and installer link.

You're probably right but in general it's a problem with downloading windows software

  choco install -y foobar2000

Does foobar allow you to just start playing music without adding it to a playlist yet? I remember trying to switch off of Winamp years ago and was shocked that I needed to add files to a playlist before they'd even play. With Winamp you just search for the song, play it, and the whole album is added to a temporary unsaved playlist that automatically changes depending on what album is being played.

There's an option in fb2k to send opened files to a named playlist (e.g. 'New'), in which case it doesn't disrupt any other playlists you have open and just plays the file like Winamp.

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?

QuodLibet is an excellent minimal yet customizable music player. It is a GTK app but the Mac version looks and works great.

I always used Winamp as my music player, since 90's. Current version on it's files details says "version 5.6.6.3516 / Copyright 1997-2013 Nullsoft Inc". Never had any issues with it, dunno why they said that.

The winamp interface is really clean and efficient. Under linux, xmms2 has almost exactly the same interface and thats what I have always used to play mp3 files

I've been using Audacious with the classic Winamp skin and loving it. I used to use Wine but it's crash-y (e.g. media library).

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…

Whee-chhiee! Baaaah! I'll always remember that soundbite that came with winamp. I'll have to download it again!
