I still have yet to find a music player that covers all my bases like Winamp did for so many years. Anyone have recommendations for Linux? Short of running Foobar via WINE, every player I've tried seems to be missing one feature or another.
Try Lollipop. It's the best I've found, next to QuodLibet as someone else mentioned in this thread. The only places it falls short are not being able to edit tags directly, and having to click 'update music library' every time you add something to your monitored folder(s).
Good call! I actually landed on this one the other day after looking more into my options. I hadn't realized before that tag editing is available from within the app.
(I feel like I should apologise for such a low-effort comment, but .. That phrase is the first thing that comes to mind when I remember WinAmp, and if you're going to make a one-line "praise" comment about Winamp it's the only one you should need!)
What I remember about Win Amp in the (90's?) was how customizable it was and how many features it had. It was really flashy and advanced for that time period.
It's been years since I've used it, I don't use Windows much anymore.
