An alternative approach may be not to use the Winamp Library at all.
I have never ever imported music into the Winamp library and simply use Explorer or Explorer ++ to organise my Music
I then use Winamp from the context menu of the folder or simply to launch individual Mp3 files.
If I want to organise playlists I use Mp3Tag to do this.
Additionally I have also had problems with Winamp on occasion but resolved it by in-installing and downloading the version available on Nimite.com.
This kseems to work fine at the moment on both my desktop and Laptop.

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.
