Both over-engineered pieces of shite. Winamp nailed it in the UI department.

It has a better UI for normies and looks cooler (by default). I personally still use it.

Or anything like it?

I just want to fool around with a minimal visualizer I can put on my desktop for fun.

That MIGHT be the Monstercat equalizer for rainmeter. Looks like he duplicated the equalizer and altered the angles

>>55698867
this was the correct layout.

I kind of miss the winamp and AIM icons chilling in my taskbar at all times

Winamp takes a few seconds to open and loads an entire GUI of unnecessary shit when I just want to listen to a track.

WMP just opens and plays the track. Simple.

>>55698984
Although how he changed the colors to be different on each bar is beyond me, not that tech saavy.

Casual player for plebs.
foobar2000 is seriouse business.

Even i know this, i used Winamp since when it was in Beta testing phase when i was quite young.

Shoutcast radio streams and TV were awesome in their time too.

It is time to let go. (or stay pleb)

Not everybody is an autist who wants to spend 4 hours configuring/ricing his music player and digging through 5 years of add-ons that all break each other and have retarded dependencies and haven't been updated in 2 years just so he can justify having two monitors by leaving foobar open all the time on one of them.

Foobar works great out of the box with most audio setups. You have no idea what you are talking about.

>>55701467
But that's NOT why people use it. People (especially /g/tards) use it because it can be riced from the ground up.

Its part of what's great about foobar, you can customize it anyway you want, or not. And its great either way.

Stop with the mental gymnastics and just accept foobar is a great player.

Winamp 2.95 was great for an absurdly long time, but I finally moved to AIMP3, which is basically the closest you can get to a modernized Winamp 2.9x.

>>55701556
Nobody ever said it wasn't great, but it's not the best.

The only people who claim it's the best are people who use it specifically to rice it out, which is literally the only advantage it has over any other player.

Stop with the mental gymnastics and just accept that foobar isn't the best and your opinion is in the minority.

>>55701225
It would probably be much more complicated to include a multiband parametric EQ than it is to put in a graphic EQ.

Winamp still have it's uses, like the writedisk->WAV file plugin that is built in that is very fast.

I even use the ZXCVB keys Winamp uses for my Foobar.

It plays all the formats I have, and when I had a hardware accelerated soundcard it also played ASIO at 5ms without hickups.

Foobar has the worst interface of any music player. Playlist creation is crap too. However, I like its massive plugin support and the fact that it looks great with Windows Classic schemes.

Winamp has a nice, compact interface, easily-browsed library, and I quite like that the modules of the player come apart and can be placed wherever you like on screen.

However, I run Winamp on my Win98 machine and the last version that supported Win98 is incredibly unstable and slow. 5.66 is bulletproof.

>>55699054
I've had weird bugs where Winamp will take hours to open. It usually stops doing that before I figure out what's causing it.

>>55703289
Foobar2000's UI is very flexible and modifiable

>>55703320
yes but it takes a relatively long time to get the interface to behave the way you want. Its default settings are very un-user-friendly and awkward if you've used other music players.

Winamp's ready to go right out of the installer and is much simpler.

In hindsight winamp should have been open sourced. The community would have kept it alive. This radionomy company dropped the ball.

>>55705129
Open source programs are inferior to non os ones most of the times.

>>55705460
Shit is perfect as is, at most the comunity would have to add support for new formats

More importantly is Winamp ever going to be updated?

Its site has said "there's more coming soon" for quite a time now.

I've been using Winamp for so long I just can't force myself to use anything else for as long as it works.

I just use MPC to play music.

The best thing about it is that there's literally nothing wrong with it and nothing superior in your special snowflake choice. You can play music with it, the discussion ends there but you victims managed to create an entire heated discussion about it.
