5.8 isn't great on that front either, but does win from the other two.ĥ.623 and 5.8 don't support my Logitech G600 media hotkeys when in focus, I have to set focus to something else, as if Winamp blocks it out (and the in-Winamp settings for global hotkey support are not what I'm looking for, as I only want the media hotkeys to target system volume, not Winamp volume).ĥ.666 does support the hotkeys but has some nagging permissions issue, where any changes made must be done in elevated mode because they're otherwise reset, particularly annoying for the Pacemaker plugin I'm using - and that goes paired with nagging warning popups each time I launch the program.

Each have their own set of flaws.ĥ.623 and 5.666 are poorly compatible with my 4K display (and believe me, I've tried all the tricks with DPI settings, window scale, font scale and such - bearable, but still leaving graphical annoyances). its learning curve is like slamming in a thick concrete wall at 200 miles per hour with an old car not meeting safety standards while on fire with no chance of survival and the maffia is shooting at you to kill you while you're dead and the wall you just slammed into was of a secret government agency experimenting with dinosaur DNA so now genetically modified superkillers are loose to kill your dead killed body again to death. Layout customization is welcomed but not necessary much, I'm looking for a basic audio player with album- and artist-based tracklist generation ( this section of Winamp) and a speed change function with hotkeys.

It remains more or less functional but it just isn't of this time anymore and it has some minor flaws that can't be fixed anymore and annoy the hell out of me. Winamp is becoming less and less compatible with each new computer I own. I know it's a shot in the dark, but I'm desperate for a replacement.
