r/WACUP

Hey guys I switched to Linux specifically Cachy Os and I'm wondering what I can use as a music player there I wanted to go with winamp but I've heard it's been butchered so I tried an old version like 5.622 with wine and I couldn't find a way to locate it on my file manager so I could use the skin feature one of the main reason I wanted to use winamp and I've also hear of WACUP and Audacious so I just want some recommendations on what I can realistically use on Linux with the options for using and making skins still being optional. Any input would be appreciated guys

Been using Winamp for around 15 years. Tried WACUP on Windows 10 a few years ago and it was less snappy than Winamp, and also had some graphical glitches with tabs. Stuck with the last known good Winamp version 5.666 on Windows 10.

I just got forced to Windows 11 and Winamp 5.666 has a bug where resizing the window causes a ghost outline in another monitor that won't go away unless you drag the winamp window there or refresh the screen. I tried a lot, like compatibility modes, playing with scaling, graphics settings and the outline is still there.

The suggestion was basically to use WACUP for Windows 11.

#Priority Features:

• Load files quickly
• Play MP3, FLAC, OGG, MIDI, WAV, M4A, OPUS
• Stable with no random crashes playing normal files
• Big Bento skin (hopefully a scalable one to modern screen resolutions)
• Can scale the fonts bigger

I don't use Media Library, Podcasts, Visualization, Browser, Media Library Scanning, External Device compatibility.

I would like to be able to disable visualization and media library tabs as well if possible. And compatibility with .nsf and other chip tune type music plugins as well as disk output (write to disk, for video game music) would be nice.

#My question is, what version of WACUP would be for people like me who want stability and compatibility? Thanks!

Hi, I just installed the x64 beta of WACUP because I read it handled Opus files by default. It does seem to have an Opus decoder plugin v.1.8.15. But it doesn't play the handful of Opus files I attempted to play. It plays mp3 files fine. Is there some additional config change I need to make? The Opus files in question do play on another media player, Audacious. Thanks!

There's a folder in my library that WACUP seems to have issues playing. It will skip every song in this folder and then will sometimes crash afterwards. Every other music app can play these files perfectly fine. They are mp3s. I've tried removing them from my library and then re-adding them. I've also tried removing weird characters from the metadata and file names. Neither works. The file path that WACUP has for these files is correct so I have no idea what's going on. Any tips?

I see lots of 'go options click skins' etc, but I have multiple skins downloaded(following the advice) and am triyng to increase scale. I can increase font size of all but the main window(which is like 1 inch wide by 1/2 inch tall on my monitor, buttons are a few pixels wide) and would like it to scale to resonable size on 4k monitor, but I cannot find how...

Not helping that the options menu is about as tiny. All other aspects (IE playlist, etc) I can resize, but the options and the main window I cannot. Can anyone help me out here?

So, I've been having the same incredibly annoying problem with both original Winamp and WACUP. I cannot edit the playlist. It won't let me remove or add items. I was using Winamp with Maiko WASAPI, then I tried WACUP with Not So YASAPI.

I've tried switching the plugin to direct, I've uninstalled, checked app data, deleted everything I could find, rebooted, reinstalled in a new directory, and same problem.

I don't even care if I'm using Winamp, though I've loved it for decades.

I'd love to fix Winamp or WACUP, but I'd consider any other program that's got exclusive mode and MilkDrop.

Super frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.
