Well, I mean I loved Winamp, but streaming ease of use pretty much killed it. Even then, I've been Linux Desktop forever, and other options there with better network and non-file aware media management tools kinda took over. Would love to see them make it as extensible as VLC though, even just for the nostalgic purposes.

As a Linux user, check out Strawberry. The name isn't great, but the player makes up for it

If people are interested in an lightweight terminal-based music player, they can try CMUS (https://cmus.github.io/).

Looks good, thanks for the tip. Personally I like Herrie by Ed Schouten.

as a former AIMP user, i second the Strawberry choice.
