I may never have mastered vim but in Winamp 2 I had Q (queue) and J (jump to & alt-Q queue) absolutely nailed. Even with my peasantlike 15k tracks I felt like a boss navigating around my collection-as-a-playlist in split-second bursts of keyboard scrabbling. Sadly these shortcuts didn't make it into Winamp 5. Ever since, it's always struck me how popular music player UIs have become slower - doing the equivalent search/queue in Spotify or Apple Music might require the mouse and waiting for loading spinners.

Have you tried QMMP? It's an awesome modern alternative

I used to put on my music and have MilkDrop go fullscreen

Winamp can’t be retro, it only came out a couple of years ago!!

Man I feel old.

Back when software had personality lol
