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.
