    AIMP is a spiritual successor of Winamp, with similar UI, but with modern features, full Unicode support, CUE files support etc.

    AIMP is nice and also supports all the global hotkeys and most of the needed functionalities. But compared to WinAmp it sucks when it comes to management of playlists. There is no easy way for managing playlists within AIMP like in WinAmp. The Music library also only supports single files and storages. So where I can I still use a 5.x WinAmp. But I also haven't found a better alternative to WinAmp than AIMP.
