I love Foobar but it does not whip the llama's ass. Incidentally, Winamp is apparently going open source:

I wonder if this will be the new Winamp-in-nothing-but-name or the old-new Winamp 5x builds, or even older builds?

To be honest, while I used and loved Winamp for a long time and it would be nice to have the sources even for a 2.x version, the reason it was popular back in the day was because it was the only one (or close enough). Nowadays there's a million ways to play audio files. Audacious even has a mode that imitates the Winamp aesthetics, and I think it can even load Winamp skins. There's not much value in the Winamp sources beyond nostalgia, and if it's about that you can still run ancient builds on modern Windows, although they're not able to play anything.

I think the moment to release the sources was when Nullsoft went down. Back then Winamp still had a smidgen of mindshare left. Now everyone has moved on to either streaming or other players.

Winamp also had visualizations. It seems that none of the modern players have that.

Audacious + ProjectM.

VLC has 5-6 audio visualizers built-in that you can make fullscreen.

Not sure about anything else being discussed (Audacious, etc) but im guessing there mist be visualizer plugins for foobar.
