• The Age of Average

  Https://audacious-media-player.org/ I'm still gleefully using Winamp skins to this day thanks to these fine people. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Foobar2000

  You might like Audacious[0]. It loads the previously-open playlist by default, which I find a little annoying but apparently is your preference. Audacious has the bare-bones GUI of foobar2000 / deadbeef and also a plug-in architecture. https://audacious-media-player.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Help a newcommer to build a Linux PC

  Yes, Winamp works well on Linux through wine, I have been using it for a long time myself. Although recently I have also been using audacious, which runs more smoothly and is better integrated with Linux (as it is a native application) and it also has support for Winamp skins, so it's a fairly good drop-in replacement (as long as you're not relying on some esoteric plugins or file formats).

• Cartoon Network Red Alert - It might already be too late

  Im not the parent commenter but I highly recommend audacious for linux and windows. Plays every audio format you have, doesn’t enforce a specific music library folder structure, and supports winamp skins(!) https://audacious-media-player.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What old or deprecated software do you wish was still updated?

  No Open Source version per-se, but Audacious[1] is awfully close. It even supports classic Winamp skins AIUI. Screenshot: https://fogbeam.com/audacious.png [1]: https://audacious-media-player.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• I Would Happily Go Back to Using an MP3 Player if I Could Put Winamp in My Pocket

  I found Audacious recently and am very happy with it. Fast, low RAM use (not as low as WinAMP, but good enough), open source, multiplatform, regularly updated, modern, etc. Source: about 3 years ago

  Audacious would probably be right up your alley. It seems to be heavily inspired by WinAmp, so much so that you can use classic WinAmp skins with it. Source: about 3 years ago

  > The audacity of it! (pun intended) Fork it, call it Audacious and be done with it. Already taken by an audio related project: https://audacious-media-player.org/ I have used it for a long time. To my surprise, it is still alive and seems to have evolved a bit seeing the screenshot and it looks good, I think I'll look into it. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago
