the thing i loved with winamp was at one peak where it was fast and simple.

You wanted to queue songs? middle click the heck out of your playlist. want to stop on end of queue? that was an option

you want to add to queue on spotify it's like 2 cumbersome clicks, you can't just go gattling-gun i want "this this this to play next"

jump to song was fantastic - with a global hotkey.

audacious with the winamp skin gets close to all this, but just misses somehow.

If there are specific ways you can pick out to improve Audacious, open some issues: https://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/projects/audaciou...

Hotkeys and mouse bindings should be fairly easy to update.

I got close to contributing once (but ended up somehow clobbering my installed copy of audacious (edit: this is likely through my own incompetence - not saying the dev env sucks or anything)) - i think i should try again cos i do use it as my non-spotify player.
