There were (and still are, of course) an endless supply of skins to transform the media player in ways that kept it fresh and appealed to an insanely wide variety of tastes. I remember sitting for hours in front of my PC with visualizers that enhanced how I listened to my music and somehow made it more engaging. Spotify is my default streaming player, but I dislike how it handles my personal music collection, so I use Google Music for my own library of tunes.įrom classic to abstract, classic Winamp offered an insane level of customization WinampĪnd obviously none of the aforementioned apps can be personalized to ridiculously satisfying levels like Winamp can. I've been using PocketCasts for years since I can add any existing podcast to it. Saboundjian believes that media players have become extremely fragmented in the mobile space, and I'm inclined to agree with him. That's right, load up those mp3s you downloaded from Kazaa and Limewire, fire up that virtual 10-band graphic equalizer and Gold Stack component skin and come along while I explain what the owners of Winamp have planned for us in 2019. The best desktop media player of the late 1990s and early 2000s (there will be no arguing on this point) is preparing to rise up and once again whip some llama ass.
