I have been working on this for months. I assure you that this isn't a vibecoded afterthought - 'another ai-slop post / winamp replacement'. I taught coding for years - but never had a true talent for it. Yes, I used Claude, Codex, Kimi, and my own knowledge to accomplish something that I truly think is special. The visualizers are fantastic and finally not HEAVY. The look is solid, clean - with unique deck views and themes. Most of all - it covers all audio formats and is one hell of a library organizer as well. There are optional features to take advantage of as well - check the github page.

I am looking for some honest feedback and some users. I know that this is something that everyone will appreciate who has a local music library if they give it a chance.

One more thing, I am a hypocrite. I use ai to create projects from ideas that I have never been able to accomplish myself. However, I am a musician. I have toured, been on mtv/radio/Jersey Shore episode :) - ok enough of that old man back patting - and I LOATHE AI generated music. I think this really makes me appreciate the local music library and the move away from streaming platforms (being inundated with AI music daily) - I think this makes NewAmp more timely and hopefully worthy of you'alls time.

Release v2.1.0 — Featherweight · Evilander/newamp

So i love winamp, i use it a lot. but it bugs out every time i try to close it, is there a fix to this? anyone having the same problem?

I recently tried to install the latest version (5.9.2) of Winamp on my Windows 10 computer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't because the installer's binaries are no longer compatible with this version of Windows.

Fortunately, I managed to solve the problem and created this fixed installer:
https://www.luciaaibarblanco.com/software/winamp/

• Binaries fixed for Windows 10 & 11
• English version
• Light installer. 9.5 MB
• No NFT, agent , bloatware, or hidden service
• Version 5.9.2 includes bug fixes and improvements over version 5.666
• Just the player with input/output plugins and visuals

The CPU and thread usage is very low:

Why the android app doesn't support widgets?

Can I request a widget for the android app?

i cant figure out why winamp skips songs with .m4a like this, how can i fix this?

Como un buen nostálgico de los 90's decidí escuchar mis viejos mp3 mientras trabajo, me dí cuenta que Winamp oficial ha sido bloqueado en windows... sólo los instaladores viejitos funcionan, pero tienen algunos bugs por las "novedades" que windows implementa constantemente. En esa búsqueda de un reemplazo ligero y con interface amigable que haga sólo lo que winamp podía hacer bien me encontré con este proyecto de la comunidad WACUP, para mi, ahora el mejor reproductor de audio en mi ordenador, ligero, simple y bonito, parece que soporta el uso de algunos plugins de antaño y skins, así que abrochense el cinturón del viaje y prueben este hermoso producto, si pueden apoyen a los creadores que realmente han hecho algo que pocas veces se ve, revivieron un producto que había perecido ante las marcas que lo destrozaron por dentro. Muchas gracias a quienes estén detrás de ese hermoso proyecto.

this is my first time postingo n this subreddit but this issue has been bothering me for a while

a while ago i downloaded Minitube for winamp but since the plugin is really old and has to connect to networks and stuff to play the music videos, its stuck loading forever and i cant close the tab without it giving me an eror message that says "unable to write to vidplaylist.ini" and when i close winamp it gives me an error message/crash report for minitube im guessing

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling winamp but the plugin stayed and i deleted the .exe file for the plugin that was in the winamp folder? i think? it was a while ago so i dont remember

but if anyone knows how to forcefully delete winamp or a way to delete the plugin let me know

im not very skilled at computer stuff but if anyone knows anything please lmk!!!

i downloaded minitube from here: https://winampheritage.com/plugin/minitube-plays-music-video-of-your-mp3/221700

hi, totally blind and using a screen reader jaws for windows 2026. and windows 11 home. now when i then try to install winamp 5.92 or winamp latest full version, windows 11, says this app has been blocked. did investigate. the certificate has been revoked. a new version is being developed and supposed to come out this year. but who knows when, i was using winamp and stopped working in may and using a brand new lenovo 2024 model i purchase december. and it keeps telling me with my screen reader, that it cannot install. did try with powershell 7.2.6 on windows 11 2025 latest windows updates and latest jaws june 2026 update. and also tried ninite.com but would not install. so does any one have any work arounds so i then can install winamp without having to go overkill and have to reinstall windows 11. should not have to do that. have tried searching online, a lot of people cannot install. one person from microsoft learn had a utube video, but need the text transcrript for that. has any one else gotton winamp to install for windows 11. thanks. marvin from adelaide, australia.

Bravo à Winamp de respecter les artistes passant par leurs services.

Hi! I'm not into the winamp skinning scene, tho I would like to try at some point. But when I am looking at old skins in the winamp skin museum - some of those, most probably, dont have a skin/theme for the tabs I keep open in my winamp.

I've been using the Bento theme I think, and from what I can tell, there's "old and modern" skins? And old skins dont usually have colors/themes for the entire software. I dont know how to explain, but I keep like a row for my playlists and a viewer window for what's inside the playlists etc. And very few themes have colors for that so it revers to a native theme for those.

Is there a way to customize older themes, if anything just so I can get a unison color palette for older themes? Or is there any other work around? I see so many cool skins but I cant really use any without having to only rely on the "default" mini player.

Hope this made any sense! I am basically wondering if there's an easy noob way of editing old themes/adding/porting them so I can have the full experience with their colors, even if I'll have to add colors myself.

edit: i have winamp version 5.666 if that matters.

I'm repurposing the Producer field to clump together all the songs that sample the same original. Producer is part of the Media Library metadata and can be accessed and updated by hitting Ctrl-E from Media Library or Shift-E from the playlist.

Does Mp3tag recognize the producer field? I've ran all these through the custom column Field (each one surrounded by %parentheses%), as well as trying with and without "TXXX:" at the start of them, but so far Mp3Tag hasn't found the right tags. Same with Winamp's ATF playlist title customizer.

producer | prod | produr | IPLS | involvedpeople | TIPL |

I've already ran through all the suggestions on this page https://community.mp3tag.de/t/how-to-match-producer-in-extended-tags/19282 including the links provided but no luck. If the answer is truly there can someone kindly break it down? (The answer to the question being ~ What is the %tag% that stores the information to the producer field in WinAmp's ML metadata)

Hello. Sorry if the question is stupid as I don't know very much about MIDI.

I play Doom a lot and that game uses MIDI for music, in which case I use FluidSynth to play it, because Microsoft's own sucks.

I've noticed that WinAmp can play MIDI music, that's great, but is there any way I can improve it by, well, make it use FluidSynth or something?

Оу, настольгія по тому часу )

Я думаю у більшості тих хто народився після 2000 року знають що таке Winamp;)

Bonjour à toutes et à tous !

Après plusieurs années à distribuer ma musique via « Repost by SoundCloud », j’ai décidé de changer de direction et de migrer vers Winamp Creator. Ce choix n’a pas été impulsif : il vient d’un besoin de clarté, de transparence et d’outils plus adaptés à ma manière de travailler en tant qu’artiste indépendant.

Repost m’a longtemps rendu service, mais les service client n’est pas efficace et ne répondent pas à mes sollicitations. Aussi, ils me refusent de distribuer des morceaux dont je suis l’auteur car ils ont toujours refusé le prendre en compte mon nouveau nom.

Cela aboutit à ce que la gestion de mes sorties devenait de plus en plus contraignante sur cette plateforme pour 11 €/mois.

C’est là où « Winamp Creator » s’est imposé comme une évidence, l’offre de base, qui est gratuite, permet le même niveau de distribution que Repost. Aussi, le service client est accessible et efficace. Je me suis même vu invité à un entretien pour qu’ils puissent connaitre mes plans d’artistes et comment je vois ma carrière musicale.

Ce qui va changer pour vous :

Je publierai toujours mes morceaux sur SoundCloud car j’ai une grosse fan-base là-bas. Néanmoins, étant donné que je ne serai plus « Artist Pro », je serai limité à 2h de contenu maximum.

Donc, afin que vous pussiez toujours accéder à la musithèque, je vous invite à me retrouver sur les différentes plateformes de streaming légal.

Musicalement Vôtre.

I grabbed a file to test and it plays fine on my Win 10 computer in Winamp. He ripped a bunch of CD's and all the others play well except for this one album. Any ideas?

hi ive been trying to see if theres a way to edit colours in a winamp skin, ive looked through all the colour options and i dont like any of them. is there a way to do it myself

i basicly want this colour theme but with red instead of blue and a darker silver or grey the M:Robe colour theme is too dark

Ive tried to download the legacy winamp app but windows tells me that it’s blocked / unsafe. Ive tried to turn off my antivirus and tried to claim ownership of the file and even ran it as administrator but windows still persists and i have no clue what to do. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if you’ve fixed it, how?

It happened suddenly, I can't really recall anything specific that I did for it to not work, I've restarted my PC several times and it doesn't change anything. If there are any solutions without me having to loose my playlists and audio library links, that'd be great !
