I used this to play mp3s on my 486. It was fine as long as I didn't run any other apps at the same time.

Audacious still supports winamp skins!

Archive.org uses a web port of Winamp called Webamp as one of its available music players for archived music. EG https://archive.org/details/DNALOUNGE-2002-07-13?webamp=default

Still yet to find anything that comes close to the search brilliance of the winamp media library.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm using lms, has a good search.

The library plugin for audacious has a passable search.
