Winamp is a plugin-based media player for Android, Macintosh, and Windows. It has a large library of 3rd party plugins, including enough to play almost all of the formats used by video games.

Winamp hasn't seen an official update in several years; the last official release was 5.666. At the end of 2013, AOL sold the rights to Winamp to Radionomy, who is currently in the process of revamping the website to resume development and distribution.

Audio Formats

The full free version of the program comes with the following plugins:

Nullsoft CD Plugin

Winamp can play standard Redbook Audio if the game disc is in the CD-ROM.

Nullsoft FLAC Decoder

Supports FLAC at all compression levels.

Nullsoft MIDI Player

Supports CMF, HMI, HMP, MIDI, MUS, RMI, and XMI. Playback of General MIDI works perfectly and custom MIDI instrument banks in DLS format are supported. The CMF playback does not properly support the AdLib samples. XMI playback does not support all of the XMI capabilities. MUS is turned off by default and must be activated.
