Few weeks ago I actually installed WinAmp because I needed that nostalgia dopamine hit of Milkdrop visualizer and those sweet skins. I downloaded some mp3 files from a YouTube playlist using FFMPEG. Unfortunately none of the mp3 worked. I think it was an encoding issue. Then I remembered the last time I faced a media file encoding problem was close to a decade ago.
We take granted how good VLC or MPC-HC as software are.
For anyone wanting to dip back into the nostalgia of Winamp and Milkdrop without installing any software, I made https://webamp.org for that exact purpose.
It can render real Milkdrop presets and real classic winamp skins directly in the browser.
Also, it’s open source: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp
