In the Namibian desert...
For the last six years, With much frustration, I trawled the net looking for a good FLAC player..... , been around the bytehood for two decades I just wanted something simple, something to save my library, create a playlist, play the music and be FLAC compatible, I tried them all .... Foobar, Groove, WM player.... The list was endless.... But in a lot of cases, playing in excess of 16000 FLAC track slows everything down....

Winamp for W10...


I was ecstatic to find that somebody carried on the tradition on Whippin' that furry beast's ass, comaptible with W10.... And Flac enabled..... Winamp brought me home...simple, easy and audible.....

Don't fix it, if it ain't broken.... ;)

I have never liked FooBar, many do. I use Clementine, Tomahawk and AIMP. I use AIMP on my main pc, Clementine and Tomahawk are both installed on my media PC. Clementine may be ugly, but I like it.
 
Schweet. I loved winamp.
Been using VLC now, very simple and easy on the CPU.
 
Winamp and Limewire, brings back memories, also why Metallica no longer exist for me.
 
I wasn't aware Winamp needed to be ported to W10?
I've been using it since forever, and it's still my default music player on my(Windows 10) pc (v5.56 / 65 or something to that effect- been ages since I checked the app version).

Morty, do you have a link to the specific one download/version you are using? Just out of curiosity.
 
Been using Winamp for ages, always solid.
 
been carrying the install for this, couple plugins and a few skins in my dropbox folder for years :)

WMP in W10 can play FLAC natively and it works great.

Oh hell no! That abomination keeps messing up my carefully sorted out artwork, even on albums I'm not even listening to.

I've been using winamp non-stop all these years (altho I confess I remember having to install a FLAC plugin at one stage)

^^^ What he said

22,487 tracks, 676Gb of music. It doesn't miss a beat - plus will play the hi-res tracks too (I output from PC to a Korg DS-DAC-100).

Brilliant little piece of software, plenty of options to personalise it & a lots of skins to choose from.

I like MusicBee, but I like AIMP's remote (paid) more. Still, MusicBee is easy to setup and go, and has a good remote. Clementine's remote is sucky without it being configured.
 
So out of my own curiosity, I installed MusicBee, again, and tested out the remote. Hmmm, since some or other update it is better than the AIMP remote, better sorting. I guess that I will be switching to MusicBee, AIMP is bit laggy for some reason.
