    their official build is a barely updated beta version, the company behind it has done some sketchy stuff lately (NFT…)

    there’s just no reason to use it over WACUP since its based on 5.666 and compatible with all the old plugins

      Hmm, okay. Hadn’t heard of that one, thanks. Last upgrade of sorts I remember trying was FUBAR, or something like that.

      Looks like WACUP can do audio normalization or “ReplayGain,” so that’s a big plus. I’ll add it to my install list, and thanks again.

        foobar2000 probably, it’s also another good audio player but it doesn’t really feel like winamp

        this WACUP is literally based on winamp, and there’s also stuff like audacious that kinda looks like winamp but not based off it and works on Linux/Mac

          Oh flog me, it’s embarrassing for me still to be using Windows at this point. Really need to decide upon one of the millions of flavors of Linux to at least create a dual-boot system. 😑

          So, circling back to the https://getwacup.com/ page, do you know what’s meant by the “public WACUP preview” download? Is it just a demo or something with limited options, do you know?

            you can just get the public x86 build

            they seem to have a non-public development build for some reason

            there’s no limitations in features or anything
