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

I use winamp 2.91 on Windows 10 as my main music player. It works fine except .wav files have clipping/static which doesn't occur in other players, and some newer formats are not supported. But still works great for flac (with a plugin) and mp3. I use the double size feature so it's not tiny on a 4K HiDPI monitor.
All points mirror my use. MP3 only, double size on my 4K monitor, and it works perfectly. I didn't realize it had any Win10 issues.
Wish they'd open source the thing already. Surely it can't be pulling the holding company much revenue at this point; I don't think you can even buy the premium version anymore. Just let me get a proper Linux port and I'll drop Audacious in a heartbeat.
Many projects use more licensed commercial code than you’d imagine and are not able to open source.
I unironically like the default Groove Music player on Windows 10. It is simple, extremely easy to use and just does its job without nonsense.
Seriously? It's incredibly slow to boot up and behaves really weirdly, also it seems to have drag controls even with a mouse which makes it a jarring experience to use. Immediately got Foobar2000 after using it for a bit.

Same. I don't know if civilization peaked then or if it was just that we were young in a good time
Between those two, young in a good time for sure. But really, just young in a time. Essentially none of the issues we face today are new in the last 20 years. You were just less aware of them then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999

Huh? Im not sure what you're saying, but it behaves like every other player wrt controls and never observed boot delay, it opens as soon as I click it.
Justin Frankel is a true genius.

The way this software runs so efficiently and in such a minimal footprint... is amazing.
Here is a collection of the best 9,795 presets that I curated. https://thefulldomeblog.com/2020/02/21/nestdrop-presets-coll...

I don't know why but an awful lot of pro audio software had to be updated for Windows 10. I remember Audacity not working at first either.
That's because the windows audio stack was massively changed with windows 10 (notably introduced lower latency audio). Didn't affect players or tools that used the top level api, but anything that interacted with the stack and its drivers had to be updated.
