I use Winamp on my PC.
First of all, it respects albums. Other players like VLC and Fubar2000 would order the songs alphabetically; it's annoying. Also in the "artist" list "The Beatles" comes right after "Beasty Boys" the way God intended.
Second it has an "always on top" feature so you can easily control it while gaming.
Winamp was made for people who listen to music the way I do. You know, old people.
I am still looking to find an alternative to winamp that does the album sorting well
AIMP on Windows (and probably Wine). Has good converter and tag editor as a bonus. You can try v2 or v3, they are pretty different. Both support Last.fm scrobbling if it's still relevant. The android app is nice too but I haven't used it that much. It kept my evergrowing library nicely structurized, mostly folder-based, with a little effort. It's russian, but I haven't noticed it doing anything funny, and it's probably too niche since most people use streaming nowadays.
Aimp is awesome!
I have it installed in Windows and android. It's good and the developer is constantly working on it.
Media monkey is pretty ok last I remembered, but I've been going back to CDs lol
Why not, y'know, just use Winamp? It's still available to download and you can even get installers for older versions if you prefer.
Yes I do do that :p
Even just using PC programs makes me feel old in this day and age. That said, I am the same age as Windows XP...
Jesus Christ, get off my lawn! What is a 10 year old doing unsupervised on the internet??
checks Wikipedia
Damn, you're old enough to drink.
Yeah, this feels wrong.
Anyone else remember what a huge deal windows 95 launch was? With The Rolling Stones.
It always struck me that “start me up” was used for the launch, since the chorus has “you make a grown man cry” in it. It could just be my 16 year olds sense of humor at the time though.

That still makes you a young'un then, maybe just an old soul?
Yes, I grew up on hand-me-downs so I was still playing with floppy disks in 2013
Hah! I’m as old as MS-DOS 2.0! (But really got comfortable using computers on my own with Windows 95/98/NT 4.0)
...I was already eight years old when MS-DOS 1.0 was released.
Ugh.
At least I'm likely to die of old age before the resource wars really get kicking.
Apparently I'm as old as DOS 2.13, but only really remember using 5.0 and 6.22, must have been 5 or so at that time.
I remember Windows 2.0 on a b/w screen (more like amber honestly), played Reversi (without knowing how it really works) and used paint to make all black images and then use the eraser to play digital mole.
Simpler times...
I was 2, but we had an Apple 2 and then Macs until I was in college and built a PC right as Win 98 released.
That's what I'm thinking. As for me, I better start hoarding sand or something
I just finished a Windows XP rig so I could relive some of my classic gaming moments. From my college years...
I still use tortoiseSVN, does that count?
Still used for CAD software for whatever reason. I had to setup a SVN server for schematics.
Foobar2000 has all of these features. You might need some tweaking, but foobar can do practically everything as far as music library management goes. My default sorting is album artist, album year, disc, track number.
As for song sort, if you meant sort by track number, it would be hard to find a player that does not support that. If VLC really does not support that, that is somewhat understandable, it is not meant as a serious music player after all.
How do you want to order them?
They said Album order: track 1, then track 2, etc
Quck search suggests sorting by album will also sort by track number in it. Also I found 4 year old feature request for VLC Android for sorting by track number that was added 4 years ago.
Winamp is the only method I know to update my 60gb hdd ipod
