Winamp/WACUP and other media players

Winamp! WACUP (Winamp Community Update Project)! Windows Media Player!

I love media players, winamp/wacup especially.

What media players do yall use? Which ones did you use growing up?

Right now I'm using the 32-bit version of WACUP, with the "Winamp Modern" skin sporting the "Refugee Nika Pink" color theme!

Went from Winamp to Foobar2000 back in the days. Might be due to nostalgia, but there was never another player like it :p.
Going over to Linux, Foobar was, however, not available. I tried many things - the players that I used over some period of time were Rythmbox, Clementine, a rather obscure one named Guayadeque (that was great, but eventually wasn't working after some update), and recently Strawberry, which is a fork of Clementine. Additionally, I have a mpd server running that I control with Cantata when running Pen&Paper sessions in my room.

For some time, I had also a additional player named qmmp active. Its very inspired by WinAmp.

For video, I always used VLC - a few years back, it got mostly replaced by SMPlayer, but is still installed on every system I use.

Oh wow I didn't know there was a version of Winamp that's being updated! I'm definitely gonna look into it!

I remember using Windows Media Player a LOT for listening to music and playing DVDs, however its functionality was limited and there were some files it wouldn't play, so I had migrated to Winamp for music instead.

I don't... remember what I used once I had finally gotten my own PC, I THINK I had used the default player for a bit until I was told about VLC. Recently I just redownloaded Winamp and grabbed a few skins.

I used to use Audacious and it supports Winamp skins which is nice (and its open source too). These days I just use VLC to listen to my offline music hoard (which is pretty disorganized  :p )

I also tried out this remake of Spotiamp which is a Spotify client that supports Winamp Skins, though it only works you have a premium subscription.

also use foobar - so customizable. i have this minimalist setup with no visible controls (i just use global hotkeys (the winamp ctrl-direction hotkeys, since i have old-man-brain))



the two numbered columns are playcount and rating (1-5), so i can do a sort of manual scrobbling of playcounts like last.fm and determine what my objectively favorite songs are.
