winamp woes, please help
I've been a winamp fan for about thirteen years now.
i love the slimline interface, none of that library/album/playlist crap unless you want it, you just play files and folders or copy the url of anything of the net you want to play, and I love the way it plays so many different file formats and has such handy shortcut keys. I'm also a big fan of the chipamp plugin for all my game music stuff such as my rsn files from snesmusic.org as well as quite a few others in diverse formats.
Winamp does work on windows 10, the only problem is that the playing volume of winamp is so low as compared to pretty much every other audio thing I have on my computer.
I've tried playing around with winamp's settings nothing solves the problem, and I'm guessing this something to do with Winamp not currently being maintained.
So, is there a way to fix winamp? and if not is there an alternative that has similar advantages?
I do use vlc mediaplayer for playing dvds already (one reason why I could recognize this problem in winamp, since the sounds of a folder in vlc and one in winamp are so different in volume), however I am less keen on the interface for basic audio playback, plus of course last I checked vlc doesn't do game music stuff such as the rsn archives.
Windows media player is definitely a no go from what I've seen, (though I do use it for cd ripping I do not like the interface at all, and I doubt it'll do game music formats).
I've heard good reports off Foobar 2000 and am willing to give it a go, (i believe there is an Nvda addon for it), but how should I configure the thing? and will it do game music formats, a quick google did suggest it would with a plugin or similar but I'd appreciate some advice about setup if that is the case.
So, any audio freaks want to help?
I admit my audio habits are a bit eccentric, me prefering to go by my own folder and file structure in explorer, having a major dislike for playlists or libraries or other complications, and of course really! disliking paid for streams or similar (one reason why i hate Itunes with a passion), so if anyone can assist that would be great.
