Winamp vs IINA

Modern features are essential for power listeners nowadays, proving that Winamp (while an old app) still offers features users look for in a modern player.

Winamp allows skinning the interface and there are thousands of community created skins available.

A wide variety of DSP, input, and visualization plugins have been created by the community.

Considerable functions to search and develop playlists.

The sound quality of Winamp is good, especially with DSP plugins like enhancer.

HTTP streaming is necessary for both live and on-demand content, which it can deliver without lengthy buffering or waiting periods. It is also less susceptible to network hiccups than other forms of streaming.

It's like mpv, just more user friendly GUI and more settings available via UI.

Extremely stable, even while still in the beta.

Supports lots of video codecs, like mp4, mkv, etc, and lots of audio codecs including opus.

It can black out other screens if you want, but out of the box it leaves your other displays alone.

Tip: if you're doing a lot of cropping and slicing of videos and you thought the new quick tools in Finder / Quicktime Player are a great improvement, try setting up IINA with slicing.lua and some keybindings for navigating your video + setting the slicing positions.

Make sure your ffmpeg command (in slicing.lua) is set to copy the original codecs and that it's using your GPU.
