The new WinAmp (or even the old) may be useful, but just in case anyone is interested, I switched to AIMP ( see: http://www.aimp.ru/?do=feature... ) years ago and have had no need to look back or consider any other alternatives.

XMPlay is great for tracker modules (.MOD, .XM, .S3M) and even supports MO3 format (tracker music format with high quality samples). It uses BASS library for playback which is quite accurate in replaying these formats in terms of timing and effects.

Another great player is AIMP. Similar to the old versions of WinAmp, but it has a live stream recording feature included.

If foobar2000 is too barebones for you and you want a Winamp-like project with active development, try AIMP.

Which one?

or
http://aimp.ru/
??

When I find more than one program dangling off the same name, I become suspicious of all. :(

It's a fake adress with the fake donate on the site. The real adress of AIMP project is http://aimp.ru/

Just wait until you try AIMP3 http://www.aimp.ru/. It is compatible with Winamp plugins, both DSP, general and visualizations, and many Winamp skins have been ported over.

it has a very small memory footprint, an *awesome* md5-based (so no dupes) Media Library that keeps track of when you first/last played each song, and how many times, an advanced tag editor, etc. It also runs better under wine than Foobar or Winamp.

The only reason people don't know about it is that it's Russian and very few English speakers run into it. Once I found it in 2007, I gave up Winamp in a heartbeat, and I've *NEVER* looked back!

I like AIMP.
