Winamp Versions for 7
I have been cobbling an old Win 7 Home Premium 64bit box with reinstalled
Windows and upgrading RAM, video and etc. when I can get a few precious minutes of spare time here and there. I have been a longtime XP user and no little about 7 and up. On XP32bit have been using free Winamp 5:05 for playback and internet radio and the likes... not much else. I use the out jack to a low power FM transmitter that I can hear all around our 49 acres but not much further, so, the version with the basic equalizer for a skin suits my needs well. I see there are newer versions of v5 but some say they have mp3 troubles and etc. Can I just go to Old Versions and snag a copy of 5:05 and be done with it or is there an issue with that old build on 64 bit boxes? Is there another freebie/cheapie player out there that can be a default mp3 player with better quality from the equalizer or whatever? TIA

Can't answer the Winamp question exactly, but nearly all 32 bit programs will work just fine with 7/64. I stopped using WinAmp years ago and now use Screamer. It records. It's small and simple, no equalizer, no eye candy, etc. https://www.steamcore.se/

If you don't use that, I don't think you'll have any problems with any of them. I'm currently using 5.666. -- Char Jackson

Is there another freebie/cheapie player out there that can be a default mp3 player with better quality from the equalizer or whatever? TIA Old programs work... except when they don't work :-( Once the program is installed, do Properties on the EXE file in the Program Files folder. There will be a Compatibility setting. You can change the OS setting to an older one like Windows XP, if you think it will help. The name WinAmp makes me nervous, as it is claimed to have the ability to bypass the Windows audio mixer. WinXP and Win7 have different audio implementations. If a program that fiddles with low level stuff, is moved from one OS to another, where the audio stack is different, what happens ? I can tell you, that my attempts to run old versions of Audacity generally met with failure. Every time I changed the Compatibility setting on audacity.exe , I would get "different audio symptoms" but it never, ever worked right. If I got a modern version, a version compiled for Windows 7 usage, then it would work. If you have programs which just do computations, those port nicely. I can grab an old version of calc.exe and transplant it onto Windows 10, and it still works (and it looks nicer). But anything with potential hooks, could have troubles. While there is a Compatibility mode, at least for audio, I can't say I found the results all that good. Some other subsystems may have better Compatibility behavior than the audio does. I had the same sort of issues trying to get DScaler to work with my WinTV card. Close, but no cigar. Paul

It's great for mp3 playback from folders - I'm not a fan of playlists. I like its ability to sort the tracks into different sequences. The drawback is in CD playing: no track list (only track 01, track02,..) as it doesn't have access to cddb or freedb. So VLC is better in that regard.
