i always used it with this skin so my family members wouldn't want to fiddle with it on our shared computer. kids today will never know the joys of winamp or the sorrows of "shared family computer"
There were recent updates that got me excited again because it really was an excellent interface. At least I learned that there's WACUP, an open-source alternative that works with all those old Winamp skins so I can keep playing music like it's early 2005
Need to clarify, it's not OSS & I'm not sure where that view of it keeps coming from. Bits of it are but I don't plan on making it 100% OSS as I don't want the extra overheads of doing development in that manner.
The existing https://last.fm plug-ins work with WACUP & the current preview build has a helper mode in its preferences to try to get the needed plug-in installed (requires using the legacy desktop client). A native scrobbler handling is also coming to WACUP to avoid having to have another program installed.
Yep, I'm using the legacy desktop client with Winamp currently. Ohhh, that's great news, then! 😌
Thank you so much for popping in and providing this very needed clarification! 🙏
can't even remember using the 5.x series, those 3.x versions were so frustrating that after the final classic 2.91 I jumped out to foobar2000 and never looked back, and I stil use it at work (where I'm forced to use Windows) whenever streaming is not an option
never tried Media Monkey, foobar2000 minimalist UI was a bit dry when one came from Winamp yeah, but playlist organization, input/output plugins and tagging abilities are just great there
Every time I see this UI, I am transported to when my wife was pregnant with our oldest kid. She had to stay in bed a lot, so I opened Winamp and stream That 70's Show. She would just marathon it. It wasn't the best quality, but looked fine on the CRT monitor.
Customize dot org was such a treasure. "Not going to the bar, found a sweet new wallpaper so I gotta stay home and reskin my winamp, AIM+, and windows media player to match the colors & fonts.
It’s like once upon a time electronic calendars were fun. Now they’re all business or plain. The big guys take the beauty and fun out when they take over a market and drive the smaller ones out.

I use it with the Anaheim animated skin.
Xamp wasn't bad, either.
Just songs and fire skins.

And with that exact skin, too. 🤣✨🙌
