That's the sad part. If there's one thing that the open-source community produces an abundance of, it's definitely text editors, but music players are a close second.

Previously, we've had XMMS as an open-source project that supported WinAmp skins.
And right now, perfectly actively maintained, there is QMMP.

I'd bet money that the code quality of QMMP is a lot higher than that of WinAmp. So, if anyone wanted an open-source WinAmp, it was there all along.

    QMMP is great. Personally I don't care much for Winamp-style music players (Strawberry Music and Tauon Music Box are my favourites right now) but QMMP opens anything I ask it to, has an alright default skin, and is obviously heavily customizable with afaik Winamp skin compatibility. It was time to leave Winamp over a decade ago.

    Strawberry is really great. It's the only music player I use anymore. Only bummer is no DSD support. I get it though. There isn't enough developers to maintain such a thing.
