Has Winamp officially become rubbish?

Winamp died when Nullsoft got acquired by AOL.
These days I just use mplayer from the command line and I don't miss Winamp at all.

I thought Time-Warner stopped WinAmps after 6.x?

I still use Nullsoft's WinAmp for MODs and ChipAmp. It's still small and doesn't take up too much space or resources. (Or I can power-on my RockBox'd MP3 player.)
Nowadays, even image-viewers can listen to MP3s, OGGs, and FLACs.

I remember I had an old Win 3.11 program I used just for MP2s and MP3s. WinPlay3 was it?

I've been using Winamp since it was a dos program. It was one of 3 players that could play mp3s on my 286 17mhz.

I also still use Winamp. The only way to go. iTunes is for ridiculous people.
I have folders set up the way I want in Explorer. I do not want/need a program that does those 2 things (player and folders of mp3´s) in one
iTunes does this in a very sluggish slow and dumb manner. Still a big fan of Apple iTunes-aside.

Yeah, managing my iPod used to take forever to organize.

I really don't need junk like a library function or whatnot when that's the point of my folders to me.

A library function is actually pretty useful. It takes a lot less time to look through your library than to go through your folders everyime you want to listen to a different song.

I think that's subjective.

I must be a ridiculous person because I always use iTunes

Not ridiculous, just an mac user. Using iTunes on Windows is an exercise in futility. It is monumentally shit on Windows. I like using it on mac though, I can't imagine using anything else on a mac. On windows I still use Winamp, I tried alternatives like Foobar but I just didn't like them at all. I like how winamp works. Maybe i'm just stuck in my ways?
