Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!
Winamp's default skin was the gold standard of presenting information in a small area. That tiny window had as much or more useful information than the atrocity that is the Spotify client has on a full-HD display.
that is because the design philosophy has changed over time, at least in the west, in the west we are pussies and we can't handle too much information in the same place. Just compare Chinese, Japanese, South Korean websites, packed with organized information in a single page and Asians can find everything and they are not whining about needing space
i run a plugin loaded winamp still ^^
the victhor classic modern skin is basicly th og ui upscaled to modern hd instead of vga resolution.
Dude! Classic Winamp days with Twisted Metal 2, whatta combination. I still miss it.
Still whips the llamas ass!
I did use Winamp but my favorite back then was Sonique. Thanks for the flashback DT.
Sonique was very good and visually pleasant.
A player with an equalizer is what I needed. I really like it. Thanks for the recommendation.
QMMP with a Winamp "Skin" is what I use by default as the Music Player on my PCLInuxOS
Brings me back to using X11Amp/XMMS on UNIX desktops like SUN Workstations back in the late 90s and early 2000s, which was the most popular nix clone of Winamp back then. I think QMMP is originally based on porting XMMS to Qt.
I remember xmms, man that is old school
Winamp is still alive
I personally use Audacious music player which is a fork of XMMS player and it also could use oldschool winamp skins
In the past when I were on Windows, my media player of choice was the portable XMPlay with the "Exile" skin. Small, lighweight and I could minimize to tray. It was really incredible!
I still use it on Windows 7. Great player!
XMPlay is definitely amazing, and the best thing about it is that it supports Winamp Plugins. I might switch to QMMP from Audacious in my EndeavourOS partition if i'll like it.
05:49 ahh this is it. the classic nostalgic skin. there's even the older one during the days of windows 95 and 98.
I miss this shit in the 90s man ,I used to make mine look like a alpine stereo like the real one in my car so badass ,Spotify should let u customize skin to your liking
My favorite part about using Winamp was the library/browser. These days I'm using the music player Quod Libet in the "Paned Browser" view, which gives a similar experience and is great overall. So far the best I've come across on linux desktop. I will say though that AIMP on windows is an excellent option, especially when it comes to large scale tagging and converting.
> "We have a ton of really good music players"
Do we? I dunno, on Windows I was using MusicBee and it was great. I could set things up the way to group albums by artist, edit metadata including the album image which could be found automatically in web, I could customize the tabs in any way, there would be both functional tabs and just visual ones, etc etc etc...
On Linux I never could find something like that, its players were in 100% cases not customizable, lacking functionality, and ugly. Maybe someone down here could tell me if there is something like MusicBee?
I recently switched to Linux and you are absolutely right. I tested quite a few music players but nothing comes close to what we can found on Windows. I'm desperately looking for an alternative of the Winamp media library and there is nothing!
I really like QMMP and my favorite skin is yaXamp. I even used XMMS back in the day but nowadays went all in on terminal applications and stick with cmus or sometimes ncmpcpp.
Winamp was awesome. I loved getting the custom skins. I never really wanted flat graphics and winamp was perfect for finding skins with creative graphics :)
These days the makers of Winamp sold the rights and went on to make a DAW called Reaper :)
still using winamp monodark themed. liked the minimalism in it.
i have recently discovered qmmp and as a teenager of the 1990's and huge fan of winamp, i immediatly installed it and i love it! thank you Distrotube for this video and continue making such videos because linux is full of awesome packages that many people do not know
This really kicks that Llama's ass!
take a shot every time he says winamp
I can’t do it anymore. I’m already 1 minute in and I’m drunker than a Russian General.
3 minutes in and I've already died of alcohol poisoning
I picked up the bottle again to see if I could beat Clint who died. But now my pee is brown.
Thanks to you I woke up in Newark New Jersey, sticky and broke.
Thanks for the double sized option, it should really be the default by now. One player i miss from Windows is Aimp and while it works through wine, just the ui alone also uses 30% cpu
Excellent video Derek!!!!
I still run Winamp on my Windows machine !
I also use a DSP Plugin called Izotope Ozone, which is sort of an Analog "Modeling" plugin.
It's still the best combo for sound quality imho.
IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMAS ASS!
Walking down the memory lane.
it really whips the llama's ass.
Winamp. It really whips the llama's ass. (From every direction.)
That shuffle morph rate was what is was for me it just syncD music time signatures with breeze 🔥🌪️💨
Best music player is AUDACIOUS ❤❤
Yup.
Winamp was very good for broadcasting your own live radio show 💯
I love audacious the qt interface
I mean, who needs anything except for VLC? It's a very powerful tool for so much more than just playing music. Followed by that SMS player.
I had the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy skin, when the movie came out.
Memory brought back from past :)
I've tried them all, no player will ever replace foobar2000 for me. It's a shame foobar2000 doesn't have native Linux builds. Works just fine with WINE at least.
I agree. It's cpu performance in wine is not great though.
qmmp would but you cant even rename stuff..
I use Audacious with Winamp a skin that's fairly close to the WinAmp default skin. Ah, the nostalgic feeling!
Now all we need is an AVS clone that can import old presets.
Im using AIMP on windows. It's made by one of Winamp's authors and replicates it's filosophy. And it does good job... So I miss it when I was trying to use Linux. QMMP looks kinda unpolished to me comparing with Winamp\AIMP.
Same to me. I use AIMP as my main audio player on my phone. There is an official release as a deb package that runs through Wine, but I've never tried it.
Thank's a lot. I didn't find other player better than winamp in windows, but I'm using Ubuntu now.
i so miss winamp i use to use it often back in the windows days.
I love my Strawberry player but I do miss Milkdrop.
Musikcube has milkdrop
Really needed this
audacious with the winamp 2.5 (or so) skin \m/
I'm still in the process of switching from windows to linux, and on windows I still use winamp, mainly because of one DSP plugin called DFX. It makes music sound so much crisper. Until I find a replacement for that plugin in another player I have no reason to use something else.
DT please tell me the name of the package that shows you system info in the top bar. Thank you for your work!!
The first Windows mp3 player I remember loving visually was Sonique. I don't think it ever made it to a full version 2 but it looked cool and had some great visualizations. I would like to see some round Sonique inspired themes.
still using WInamp today, as its the only lightweight player out there that does whats written on the box: Play music
Gee, back in the day when Windows theming was almost completely moddable. I remember having custom desktops, with custom sound packs, with a custom music player called Winamp. Those were the days. And then they took it away, it was too much fun or course.
Do not tell me that you didn't mention "Winamp" was Windows port of Amp which is a free and open source software.
Oh no you really don't know about it :/
@@sahinakkaya3810 think that not many people really know that.
Any info or link about this so called Amp? Wikipedia doesn't mention it in the Winamp article.
@@N0zer0 I pasted a link but yt removed my comment I guess. In Wikipedia article, under History header: "Winamp was first released in 1997, when Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev,[7][8][9] formerly students at the University of Utah, integrated their Windows user interface with the Advanced Multimedia Products ("AMP") MP3 file playback engine.[50] The name Winamp (originally spelled WinAMP) was a portmanteau of "Windows" and "AMP".[51] "
You can find more info about it if you google: "amp mp3 playback engine"
@@sahinakkaya3810 well then it's but just a "port" if AMP is not a full featured MP3 player but just an "engine"
Hey DT, you can use aur package called bsp-layout to get your desired layouts in your bspwm WM and if you like xmonad type of keybindings mean followed by keybindings then you can use this specific syntax in your sxhkdrc file. Syntax looks like: super + e; {e, d, v} after using these two things in mine my thoughts has been totally changed for bspwm and you can make a video on exodia os which is arch based operating system and bspwm is default WM there.
This video really whips the llama's ass!
i still use winamp, on windows, about to swap to linux, which is why i need an alternative.
Winamp is the best because it's so slim, and takes up almost no space on your desktop, it's perfect for browsing and searching music while playing a game, that upside-down L-shape is perfect for gamers... I can't be having a square window for music with awful UI, lol.
WACUP is the choice for me when it comes to music players tho qmmp and audacious are great software as well, WACUP, being a fork of winamp, has more customisation options
WinAmp in Windows is AIMP
I remember it back in the day.
A question:
Do anyone know what happen with cpulimit on ArchLinux?
man i miss winamp.
I personally use Tauon, has similar looks without all the quick clicks.
I had XMMS back in 2000, and the gkrell2 plugin to make it look like xmms
Qmmp for me starts in non winamp mode unless you activate it in a plugin menu. It scales better in non Winamp mode anyway.
I think there is winamp version in the AUR. If I remember correctly it runs with wine.
Clementine is only one.
Sounds like a sales pitch from the early 2000s. Audio is just expected to play. From the browser, from the file manager, from an app. It's written in C++? Who cares? It's the age of streaming and digital subscriptions anyway. Are you talking about playing audio from Napster?
But does "it [whip] the lama's ass"?
Deadbeef all the way
I use it for listening to radio stations. But for normal audio files QMMP is the best for me.
i still have tons of mp3s on my pc and i like to use them instead of streaming . i have yet to find an alternative that let´s me go through my library so easily like Winamp
I like my Haruna media player (KDE).
I wrote to you about QMMP more than once, two years ago! I wonder what made you wake up.
I really miss Lotus 123 release 5 for Windows. I wish there was a clone of that for Linux.
I used Winamp up until I stopped using Windows.
Dude, didn’t see many “it really whips the llamas ass” posts and it’s kinda disappointing. Guess these guys aren’t OGs
BUT DOES IT DO MILKDROP?
Edit: 🎰 yes it does!
it looks completely different nowadays on arch, by default it opens up looking like foobar!!! what is going on!? i wonder what this is now? new update? check it out
DT - make a video resurrecting the Banshee Media Player. Still the best on Linux. But needs to be taken over by people who care.
i'll stick with foobar2000. 1.6.7 has a plat rating under wine 6.0.2 the rest still (mostly) have decent compatibility. its also got versions for osx, ios and android.
why he didn't follow god but followed buddhism because i saw the statue behind 🤣
Is the qmmp link in this on the video compatible with windows 10 & 11 operating systems ? Thank you & what version is best
i don´t know why, but when install qmmp i don´t have a option skins... i have a ugly version haha, this is working in fedora 38. thanks!
how do you rename songs/artists with qmmp?
I'm more of a foobar2000/DeaDBeeF kind of guy.
qmmp would lyer all 3 panels on top of each other and htey are glued in place meaning i cannot move them anywhere.
WINAMP alternative??? Hehehe.
QuickTime alternative please...
That's some major lag when moving windows wow.
Emacs 02???
Too lazy to switch away from audacious.
There's a Windows version! I'll stick with foobar2k.
none of the themes scale properly :(
it does, it's just blurry because of the low res.
FAIL!!!
I miss WinAmp...
going to try this
hopefully is recognizes the DARK theme...
I use Mint Mate which is retro and this might work just fine
Good audio players.... Like pulse audi-
_oh no_
Linux has terrible music players compared to mac/windows. My audio quest dragonfly dac only reads 44.1kHz sample rate when it can go beyond 96kHz playing MQA. I would pay for apps on linuxs!
my FiiO K3 DAC works perfectly with mpv up to 384kHz.
@@N0zer0 i'll try it out. On mac/windows/android I plug it in and it "just works". the settings in hiby music player on my phone. will bypass the software and you'll get access to set the sample rate yourself. I haven't found any player that comes close on linux which sucks. But I wont go back to mac/windows lol
EMACS a music player? Surely you jest.. 🤣
I was always and am satisfied with VLC. Winamp is not my cup of tea.
nahhh qmmp is scuffed as hell, i would actually rather Wacup through wine
okay so linux = 1998
wel... taht qmmp crap has a server error, god music players in linux sucks, nothing like winamp but sadly not even wine makes it flawless
People still uses offline options? I use mostly TH-cam to listen to the musics and Spotify
Why not, I usually download TH-cam videos I want to watch. When I find a good song, I download and add to some playlist.
No Internet, no music for You. Keeping mp3/flac on disk or pendrive is good thing.
I ripped my 300 CD collection about 10 years ago to a nas server, and stashed the physical albums in the attic. So yeah. Including all music, audiobooks, and podcasts that I downloaded over the years... yeah.. I have ~100 gigabyte of offline music/audio files that I'd like to play.
@@desertfish74 👍
I refuse to use Spotify. They rip off musicians. And I like my music files local.
Winamp ... never used it, have no nostalgia for it, terrible interface, no interest. :-)
I run winamp 1.92 in wine perfectly
