![]() The revolving door of bloatware AOL keeps trying to foist upon users is also annoying but Winamp still manages to be one of smallest installs among full-featured media players. Winamp is a pretty solid app, although in recent years its become more freeze-prone than it really should be and there are a few annoying bugs that have been present since 5.x first hit the scene. Smart tags, Replaygain support and other advanced features are in good supply and for most folks Winamp is all the media manager you could want. Freshly installed it handles more audio formats than anything I know of and enough video types to handle most people's needs. Its innumerable skins and plugins along with broad support for mobile devices keep Winamp current and capable. With the addition of a codec pack such as K-lite it also becomes a very good video player (though Media Player Classic is at least as good and lighter). Winamp has been and continues to be the finest audio player for Windows. with DeadbeeF, I was always a little dissatisfied with music on Linux, that's now sorted - Thanks :-) (true media program neophytes ~ Someone who is willing to pay a small amount to at least have some idea what the original recording sounded like, not really an obsession is it?)ĮDIT: roj - I'll give DeadbeeF a try tomorrow in Linux, thanks for the tip :-)ĮDIT 2 roj - Major increase in detail etc. In Linux Audacious does a pretty good job ~ ![]() The are other audio players that are better than Winamp on sound quality perhaps most of them actually ~ flac encoded music some of the time now & AIMP plays that great ~ If you are using a built in sound chip & or cheap sound card & or plastic speakers you probably wont notice the difference but also wont know what's on the audio you play either ~ĪIMP does not have any associated junk-Ware supplied with it as does Winamp so you don't need to go to the effort of slimming it down. I need to make a screencast of this because there's apparently no videos of the functionality around online.There is a fairly large difference between players based on sound quality alone: I use an good separate outboard DAC with a decent amplifier & speakers with reasonable quality interconnects & AIMP beats Winamp into the weeds no contest. (I'm starting to wonder how different the abstractions ncmpcpp use compared to mpd, or if it's just a naming thing.)Įdit: or, IIRC, instead of the JTF queue method, you can just immediately jump to a file in a playlist, and after playing that, Winamp returns to the previous spot. This ad-hoc playlist-within-a-playlist is also visible within it's own dialog box if so desired. So I can have a playlist of all files on shuffle, decide to queue up a specific album or two, and after that it goes back to random shuffle without me having to reset the playlist from scratch. Any number of tracks in the playlist can be queued like this, each getting a respective queue number next to that tracks entry in the playlist line, and afterward the queue is finished Winamp returns to the standard playback ordering. That file in the playlist gets a number next to it and is played next, regardless of whether shuffle is on or not. Maybe I am confused because ncmpcpp doesn't exactly use mpd nomenclature regarding queues and playlists - Īs I remember it, in Winamp you load a playlist from the media library (in my case usually all files), and then within that playlist you can use JTFE to select a file to play next.
