doesn't work in Wine, boooooo
[wine-6.0 (Ubuntu 6.0+repack-1ubuntu1)]
previous versions do work - I would first assume some VC++2019 feature that Wine hasn't added yet

#123Foobar is the "new" Winamp, it has been for 15years+ https://www.foobar2000.org/
Foobar is more tuned to play large collections. AIMP is much closer to Winamp's original use cases.

Re: Winamp 5.9
#125Older software like this runs extremely fast on my newest hardware. Switching to lightweight native apps is sometimes more of a speedup than dropping >$3000 on new a workstation class laptop. Of course, you usually need the latest hardware to eat through modern workloads. But aside from that, I sometimes forget clearing out software bloat is a much more effective way to gain performance, productivity and improvements…
Older software sometimes runs just as fast on older hardware, too. It’s anecdotal, but I never remember waiting on Winamp to start up. iTunes, on the other hand, has always seemed slow.
Simple player vs library though.

#126Foobar is the "new" Winamp, it has been for 15years+ https://www.foobar2000.org/
I've used both Foobar and MusicBee (on Windows) and personally I prefer MusicBee's interface. It works well with my library of 21k files - not sure how it performs with libraries much larger. https://getmusicbee.com/
I'm a huge MusicBee fan. For my money, nothing touches it. It's running on all my Linux boxes (via wine 7.x) with playlists and music kept in sync using Syncthing. I would love to be able to use a native Linux app, but they all suck in comparison.

#127Is there some android "port" of winamp? I'm thinking more about the look and feel, and the support for the winamp2 skins
Well, Winamp 2 skins were basically just BMPs that were drawn directly onto the desktop. How would that work on Android? Would it show the player as a traditional window with microscopic buttons?
no, as a normal app, just with the winamp skin zoomed in full screen.
If I take my phone an place it over my desktop monitor, where I run winamp, the sizes roughly matches (in cm, I mean), so it would be possible to zoom the .bmp without stretching to much the pixels

#129I still have Winamp 5.601 installed, it's from Dec 9 in 2010. When I fired it up now it immediately prompted me to download the new version.

Foobar has horrible UI, couldn't even make it use mouse wheel to control volume same way as Winamp. And honestly what it can bring me over software I am using daily for 20+ years just to play some songs and nothing else?
