WinAMP

It's plugin system really made it the swiss army knife of one's multimedia ecosystem. My personal favorite was the iPod syncing, letting me bypass iTunes entirely.

Unfortunately it feels like streaming platforms, with their proprietary players and locked content, functionally kill any emergence of a phenomenon like winamp.

I still use WinAmp with Internet Radio, and pretty much only that. Works wonderfully, although you do have to hunt for those stations. And you need to bookmark them correctly, otherwise you’ve bookmarked an IP address that can suddenly go silent when the station hops to a different IP.
