As for what place it has, I'm going to still make it because I've very clearly been made unwelcome to remain as a "winamp" user plus I don't like where it's owners are taking it with all of the ntf related stuff & taking the piss out of the user base for so long. So if I want to have something that can keep my plug-ins working then I've got to make my own player which is what I'm doing.

You're saying its a reimplementation of part of Winamp? Cool, I thought you were splicing in new functionality to the existing binaries
There's still some live patching / splicing needed for some of the plug-ins that are still re-used from 5.666 as part of the current beta builds along with WACUP having the ability to run minus EQ & modern skin without the winamp core exe. As there's a few things from that exe which the modern skin plug-in requires to work which I've yet to work out all of the interfaces to allow the plug-in to work. It's part of what's been holding up a new preview build as I just need to be as free from having to leverage bits from Winamp as possible.

Sorry to hear you were having crashing issues. Mine has been stable but I also spent some time going through all the settings and dialing it in exactly as I wanted. I run it at 2x scaling on a 4K monitor and it looks terrific in all it's pixelated glory.
I wanted to like WACUP but found it very crashy.
