Sonique FTW! It's a shame Sonique2 never really took off - the skinning engine was really awesome for it's time. Also the visualizers for Sonique were so much better (RabbitHole!).Originally Posted by Maplassie
I miss Sonique. I always preferred it to Winamp. Loved the early skins and visual styles. Fond memories
Anway, once sonique died I moved over to Foobar and haven't looked back.
What do you guys think of Media Monkey as a possible alternative? I've used it quite a bit previously and found it quite feature rich. It had flaws as well of course.

I was just going to ask about alternatives. Winamp is also my favourite. I do use Windows Media Player for videos or just double clicking on a mp3, but for anything with a list / library / favourites, I use Winamp.
Will take a look at this MediaMonkey.
No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.
I used to use Songbird as an alternative but I see they got shutdown in June
I stopped using Winamp years ago, i just use Youtube for anything i need / want to listen to now.
Plus my HDD with all my music died and cba to get it all again.

I use it for two features, that work reasonably well:
1) Podcast grabbing. It's as simple as getting the RSS link and psting it in, and MediaMonkey does the rest.
2) Wifi sync with MediaMonkey on android. This is a beta feature atm, but I've been using it for the past few months now. Music on a playlist syncs quickly. The only issue I've come across is podcast syncing failing on the last 100 kb of the file.
I must admit that I just use Windows Media Player now. Used to use winamp.
Like Roomys said, youtube is just easier these days.

I haven't actually used Winamp in years, it is a pity that it's dying though.
You know you can still just use winamp right? I'm sure there will be loads of websites hosting the last version for years to come.
If you really want to change, I would suggest Foobar2000. It has a fairly steep learning curve but imho is the best music-only player out there.
My current setup:
I've tried foobar a few times, but within a week I'd be back on Winamp. I don't want a music player with a big learning curve, I've got a day job for that already. I want a music player that plays music quickly, with a decent playlist/queuing system. Nothing more, really.
