haaa ... the good ole days of music players....

I still use Winamp for playing music. I have never gotten over it. I love the media library layout and the beautiful GUI (I use the Big Bento Skin).
RIP Winamp.

VLC was an absolute sanity saver on Windows.

Exactly. VLC saved me from hunting down codec packs.

I rarely listen to music on my laptop, but remember being slightly amused by the setting in Real Player that allowed a dancing sheep as a visualisation theme.

RIP while I use you Winamp.

The Bento skin is nice indeed. Too bad you can't use those (the modern skins) for the Linux players (as mentioned on the previous page). Or maybe one can but not that I know of. Personally I don't like using Wine for the music player but otherwise Winamp is still good. I use it sometimes on Windows but my #1 player for Windows is Foobar2000.
