Indeed. The OP did not close out on Winamp - Looking for an efficient music player, which is claimed elusive, and yet Winamp practically dismissed because of its website.

OP just doesn't know what OP wants.

As you said, Winamp + classic skin, with all the "features" turned off like Winamp Agent and those other stupid things they added after the AOL acquisition, is perfectly fine. The fact that OP didn't even try out (or discover) foobar2000 tells a lot.

I think most people are being sensible when they opt not to run unpatched software from 15 years ago.
