To roj and aegis, while you certainly have a right to your point of view, I hardly think winamp is dead as many still use it including myself. I llike winamp and always have, but I also have several others on my computer that I like just as well. I do agree that I wish it had not been taken over by AOL but still it is hardly dead. It works well and I have been quite pleased with it for the most part.
No matter what any software maker does, someone is not going to be pleased and make a issue of it. Not all people can be pleased all the time and some on this forum cannot be pleased any time. I say, that if another can do better, then help them out, do not just use the forum to make fun of them. Use it to be constructive in your complaining and then perhaps they can fix it.
I have used Winamp for years and during that time have been mostly pleased with some disappointments inbetween, but that is life. Nothing is perfect and never will be in computer software, simple as that.

still support for WASAPI or ASIO, but still the best player.

Enormous "Me Too" release.
This player is essentially dead. All the innovative devs have left, it has devolved into a do-everything pile of bloat and bugs persist that have lingered for generations of the player. Of course The Faithful will rail at this but look around you, peeps - other players are leaner, meaner, faster, less buggy and most importantly Still Under Active Development. Heck, even with all the "me too" crap, there still isn't decent, full featured native WASAPI or ASIO support - absolute prerequisites for a quality audio player. And the owners have the unmitigated chutzpah to CHARGE for a "full featured" version of it - now THAT'S gall!
This thing died two years ago - it's just an old hooker with a new paint job. Let it go quietly into the night.
TWO stars.

AIMP sounds a lot better right out of the box. No plugins required.
Winamp should be open sourced so the developers can move on to better things.
