    Everything that in foobar2000 needs to be done for hours to make, you can done in AIMP in a matter of seconds. I tried many different players, been using foobar2000 for a long time, but in the end I still switched back to AIMP. The most convenient and functional without unnecessary movements.

    It's not as customizable as foobar. The latter can be hackeable to the point where you write a script that changes completely any single point of its UI.

    Discontinued, yes, but set the standard in Windows audio playback. Incredibly feature rich and sounds excellent.

    Winamp is around but an old version no longer updated at Winamp.com and using the old version site you can get earlier versions. Foobar2000 is the main replacement.
