Comment summary: Winamp has been praised over the years for its comprehensive audio format support and customization capabilities, with a strong user preference for its classic skin and intuitive interface. Features like its Auto Tagger and podcast fetching are highlighted positively, while concerns are noted about unnecessary toolbars and features. Despite some criticisms, it remains a favorite due to its extensive plugin library and consistent performance, although some users prefer alternatives like Foobar2000 and AIMP.

I have to admit. I'm a nostalgic person. I know there's other audio players out there, but "it really whips the Llama's [butt]". It just works!

The best audio player since Windows Xp. For many years I listened only with it, and sometimes dabbled with visualization settings and came up with my own presets. Only pleasant memories of this player.

I have great memories of Winamp in the 90s, and I go back and still see it as formidable. Long live Winamp

What is Winamp?

Winamp is a media player originally developed by Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev by their company Nullsoft, which they later sold to AOL, who sold to Radionomy in January 2014.

Supports extensibility with plug-ins and skins, and features music visualization, playlist and a media library.

Since 2023 there is a mobile app for Android and iOS, which integrates online radio and podcasts.
