I still have the most recent version on a disc somewhere, but in more recent times I've been using XBMC, now known as KODI.  Another I've used and found decent is JetAudio [which also plays video files and has a built-in converter], but I really would welcome a WinAmp return.  A new, updated version based on the original WinAmp would be fantastic.

Winamp is only reduced to hype and nostalgia nowadays. Nobody really needs it anymore. There are plenty better alternatives out there. Heck, even Groove of Windows 10 is better nowadays.

I'd agree with Groove. It's pretty good. I'd like to see one player with the audio quality that DFX Audio Enhancer gives you. When I tried it several years ago DFX was an amazing add-on and beat any internal sound configuration that the current players had.

By the way there is a reallly nice new winamp skin out. It is a large skin but as with all winamp skins it can be resized. Here is a short clip of it.

I use it too. I dont even know what are the modern day alternatives. And TBH i have hard time to imagine in what way they might be better than Winamp. Perhaps if you are some kind of audiophile, but personally i just need the basic functionality, which Winamp always provided just fine to me.

I have rather simplistic needs. Just my laptop and two small speakers. I use Xion because I skin it. Although I'd not recommend for higher systems.

After several hours of playing with bongiovi dps I have to say its pretty good especially with a laptop and small speaker set-up. The depth of sound produced by this software is very noticeable. I tried it with various music players and it worked with all of them and all the laptop sounds. Here's some more info.......http://bongioviacoustics.com/applications/software/computers-system-wide-plugin/

You should try foobar2000. Everybody use it today.

Go to their website and check. It is free. Looks like it used to be a time limited demo but all I had to do was to sign up and I guess I'll get some emails from their company offering other products but its free and the software has no limitations. I don't see anywhere in the software where it says its a demo or has a time limitation and neither was that mentioned when I signed up.

CNET gives it good reviews http://download.cnet.com/Bongiovi-DPS/3000-2169_4-75629300.html and googling finds a lot of good comments too.

It loads on my system startup and works with any music or any sounds on your PC. Could turn out to be one of the best pieces of software I've come across in a long time..........and it appears to be free. 

Did not get or see that message during the process or in the email from them but I guess I'll see over the coming weeks.

Thanks for the link Junior. I got the skin and it is AWSOME !!!!

Which is what I said. So we have a little over one month to enjoy it for free.

Whatever..........There is no time limitation on the free usage.
