NO!!!! Winamp death impending...

After 15 years of llama-whipping, AOL shuts down Winamp for good | Ars Technica

So uh...December 20th, my 15 year love affair with my media player of choice ends...I guess.

And no foobar doesn't have everything I need. And no, neither does VLC.

I mean I'll keep using it(paid for pro years ago), but this news just sucks.

Winamp stopped being my player of choise some time ago, like 8 - 10 years.

Foobar has been my go to for the longest time, im trying to remember what i used before that....

winamp for sure, but i feel like there was another player in there somewhere.

I used Winamp and Sonique for the longest time until I switched to iOS
both were excellent

Try MusicBee. Super-configurable without needing ten million plugins. I set mine up to be like iTunes but with proper tagging and a few other nifty features like waveform view.

My mac using friend once described my foobar as my command line player, and I said "THATiS RIGHT!!"

FOOBAR2000 4 LIFE!!

Winamp 2 is also awesome, especially the awesome geiss plug ins.

I've used foobar as a secondary for a long time. Just puttered around with it a bit and I like it well enough, I just find the interface clunkier to use.

Great for transcoding flac to mp3, though. Space saving FTW.
