Wow, I haven't used that in over 20 years. Found VLC and have had no reason to even look for anything else. What does everyone use these days?
Aimp. It's better. Xmplay is very fast/lightweight and will play practically every audio file out there, but it requires lot of addins to get it up to par in terms of looks and better features.
Foobar2000, but it's not a compact player. It's customizable but, no thanks.
I stick with aimp and occasionally use xmplay.
What makes Aimp better than VLC? If you know.
VLC is free, no addons needed, has played every single audio and video file that I've thrown at it.
Vlc is great software and I have been using for ages, but for video. It has no problem with audio, but it's limited in audio features. Like just the other day I realized there is no pan feature to pan from left and right stereo channels in VLC. AIMP is exclusively for audio playing. It's visually more appealing. It can convert between audio formats. It has the Winamp feel. Aimp also has a mobile version. Definitely the best audio mobile app out there
Also, I can't remember if vlc handles mp3 tags or allows you to modify them.
I use vlc for video and Winamp for audio
