QMMP is good enough for me on Linux, feels like basic WinAMP which is all I need.
It takes Winamp dll plugins?
Really? Wow I haven't tried.. but there are lots of skins at least, here
No, I meant it as a question, does it take Winamp plugins ๐.
Cuz I have this oddball mp3RPO plugin... sadly, I converted most of my media back in the day to mp3PRO (storage was expensive back then, I was a student, low on funds... ๐คท). It's a discontinued codec now from Fraunhoffer (the idea was the same as with HE-AAC, spectral band replication, but do it with mp3) and... I just can't be bothered to redownload all of my collection to mp3/aac. There's just too many titles and that's the main reason why I still use Winamp on Linux, the mp3PRO plugin for Winamp ๐. If I could load that dll in any other player out there, I would gladly switch, but I can't ๐.
Ah :). Hmm, well someone else had a similar situation as you, perhaps xmms with those tweaks would work?

Shit, I had no idea ๐ฑ... I have to find this library, it must be burried somewhere in archive.org.
And isn't XMMS dead? Though Audicious is a decendant, I'd have to check if the library is compatible. Still, it's a starting point!
Thank you a million times kind stranger ๐ค๐ค๐ค!
EDIT: OK, requires a bit more work than what I was hoping for... the library is probably x86 only, so I'd probably have to use the x86 version of Audacious or any other XMMS compatible player, but still, as I said, it's a starting point ๐ค.
I would just like to play them, I wouldn't recode them, will loose audio quality cuz this will be their second recode.
OK, I tried loading the library on Audacious x86, no dice ๐...
It's just way too old, support for XMMS and everything GTK+ related was dropped a loooong time ago ๐. Maybe with some sort of a wrapper... IDK... maybe it could work... have no idea where to start though...
Oh well, back to using Winamp 5.24 with Wine I guess ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
