I’m currently using fooyin and Strawberry for my local files. Elisa every once in a while. I’d be really interested in a Linux fork of Winamp, though!

Yer I’m just using audacious at the moment but only have basic speakers etc looking to upgrade in about 3 weeks and convert this machine back to windows (I know sacralige rigbt?) but mainly so RPG Maker XP will compile everything, very touchy about when it compiles or exits out without any error message

I only use fooyin now. Maybe audacious as an alternative. But I’m no longer interested in the other stuff.

They don’t allow forking in their license. In fact, their license is their own affair and it is basically a source available license. Kind of sad actually, but since there’s code available, so recreating Winamp for other platforms won’t be that hard, I believe.

Yes, it was WinAmp saying “Hello, we’re (sort of) open source now”. Not me clicking the wrong category. No, not at all.

I spent quite a lot of time choosing a player. And unfortunately, it was Audacious that was the worst in terms of sound. DeadBeef is in second place. And the best one for me is MPD. The difference is in the nuances of sound, in the little things, but it’s the little things that decide

I also find DeaDBeeF quite good, but as a KDE user I avoid GTK-built software as much as possible.

I like DeadBeef a lot, main reason I stopped using was at the time only the git build was available (if they have a binary now I will install tomorrow after I update

In sound, I can close my eyes to many things, for the sake of this very sound

Personally I wouldn’t limit my options this way, my first thing with a program is - does it do what I want it to do, theming comes last in the list alough I love making things match.
