When you say crashes, do you mean it won't play  fast enough so gets
stuck with a file kind of stopped?
I think this is often our old friend the explorer lag giving
unexpected results to winamp.

Thanks for all the recommendations. IIRC, since people seem to be really
worried about this, I never touch the Winamp library. I hit shift-l and
point it at my albums folder. It starts playing but eventually crashes
at some point. The only other thing I've ever used to load music into
Winamp was the playlist editor.

hi since you use foobar do you need it to remember every file you play
in A play list?

Do you like it that way.

So when it plays something it is stilled stored in A list so you can
play it again later if you would like to.

If you don't like that future or no how to disable it.

Can you please share how?

I also recommend fubar 2000 as well. I have shortcuts set up for play
rewind and volume ETC. And by the way do not ever ever ever load
stuff into the winamp library. Just use explore and find it. This is
how I did stuff all the time when I used to use it.

Hi if you down load this software what is the best way to install it
and set it up for the best results?

Also what kind of learning curve does it have?

Hi all. I'm looking for a Winamp replacement, since it keeps
crashing, apparently the amount of music I have is just too much
for it. I like Winamp's minimal interface. I don't have to tab all
over the place to get to things, I don't have to hit weird alt
function key combinations, stuff like that. I loathe iTunes, in
case anybody wants to suggest it. Also, I'm looking for something
modern, or at least maintained, so please don't start telling me
about how if you find just the right website, you can download a
version of Windows Media Player from twelve ears ago that's awesome!


I tried playing with Groove a bit. It works, but there seems to be
no keyboard shortcuts to speak of, at least not that I saw, and it
was tab central through a bunch of stuff I don't really care
about. But maybe I just need to learn it better. I organize my own
music, so other than pointing it at a folder and letting it go on
random or shuffle or whatever, I don't think I need an organizer.
I thought of VLC but I'm not sure if that has enough control or
accessibility, though I gather you can make whatever keyboard
shortcuts for it you want, so it's a possibility.


If anybody's got recommendations, I'd surely appreciate some. I'd
keep using Winamp, but apparently 200 plus GB of music is the
point at which Winamp throws up its hands and runs away to hide in
a closet. So I guess it's time to use something else, which is too
bad, because I still dig Winamp.
