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.
Not everybody lives in America, you know.
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…
Just to double check; what is this thing? (site itself doesn't explicitly mention it, or I couldn't find it). It's like the last 'official' Windamp release, binary patched with improvements (by the author?), and then a couple of recent plugins?

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.

choco install -y foobar2000
Are people actually using chocolately? I never could get over the way they get you to install it with the equivalent of piping curl into. Or the way it kept advertising the paid version, which is really disconcerting when something has become effectively the only way to manage what software you have installed (or will be eventually).
I 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.
Is anyone using WASTE? (another nullsoft product)
Another one is NullSoft's Visual Debris by Brennan Underwood.

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

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. (Another fellow FB2k user here.)
Also now that many sources provide 24bit audio you need to check for that and resample to 16bit to be certain it'll work.
