We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

You're still using Winamp?

Which version? I never really moved on to Winamp 3 (migrated to foobar back then), has it evolved further from that? Does it run on Linux?

I still sometimes miss my Winamp 2 days with a Calvin & Hobbes skin and spending hours with its visualization features as a young teenager.

    WACUP is the nice new alternative unless you want WinXP support retained

    On Linux I have found my audio player of choice (Sayonara Player), I'm specifically asking for Winamp because I have nostalgia for it; and because I don't know any player that has its extensive visualization features.

    i see. in that case wacup on wine would do the job. (it's basically a slow wip winamp reverse engineering job, based on the last aol version and slowly replacing parts of it with updated/reimplemented stuff)

    Yes forgot about it for some time when i saw someone still using it. Will tell you which version and if it works on Linux as soon as i'm done setting up Bazzite. Yeah the skins where a blast back in the days, nowadays i'm only using the vanilla one :)
