I still use Winamp on my Windows machine with the Drone skin. It looks tiny in docked mode in UHD, but I know all the keybaord shortcuts and I'm not on Windows much anyway.

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.
Maybe it's because you're on a high speed SSD. Spinning rust suffers greatly from Windows 10's bloat.
No offense intended by who in their right mind would boot off spinning rust in 2020? You can get a brand new 240GB SSD for $30 and a 1TB for $90. That’s ignoring the used market where you can get a solid used Intel for $10. If you need more storage buy a spinning disk for bulk storage - even if it’s a laptop, usb-3.1 is faster than the drive.

Re: Winamp for Windows 10
#104All this winamp talk! This makes me nostalgic of hours of 15 year old me downloading every skin to find the "best one", and listening to the Fragile by NIN. Boomy late 90s pre-9/11 days when everything seemed so solid and successful.
Maybe you'll find it one day in the winamp skin museum: https://skins.webamp.org/

#105I tried Winamp a few months ago and was disappointed to find that it's evolved into a media center more than a player. I was hoping just for a simple player where I can easily drop files in a running playlist, like VLC does. There were also some issues I experienced (that I don't remember), but I'm guessing they have been ironed out since win 10 is officially supported now.
Try Musicbee, its "just works" no need for complex setup or plugins.

#106Just 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.
Try Musicbee. It "just works" no complicated setup. I switched too it from Winamp/Foobar

#107I ctrl+f'd for Jet Audio, but didn't find any :(
JetAudio was similar to Winamp, and arguable better in my opinion, because I can toggle the playlist window, and completely hide the player UI. I use it even today since 2006.

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.
If it has issues with WAV playback only on Win10, I think this alone warrants an update (assuming the update addressed this).
Noting that I don't use winamp, and haven't since I found foobar2000 back in ~2004... I would not even notice that as an issue. The last time I had a .WAV I needed to play was in Windows 95.

Yeah there is little reason to use WAV anymore.
Admittedly, I still use it frequently when I am too lazy to convert my CD rips to FLAC.

Damn, you brought me back to 1999. Haven't heard that phrase in _ages_.
Fun fact: That phrase came from Wesley Willis's song ( https://youtu.be/JntDcqOxMsM )
Actually, I wrote Nullsoft back in the day to ask about that, and someone wrote back that it was NOT a Wesley Willis quote, but just something random they thought was funny. I always thought that was hard to believe.
