    I use Winamp on my PC.

    First of all, it respects albums. Other players like VLC and Fubar2000 would order the songs alphabetically; it’s annoying. Also in the “artist” list “The Beatles” comes right after “Beasty Boys” the way God intended.

    Second it has an “always on top” feature so you can easily control it while gaming.

    Winamp was made for people who listen to music the way I do. You know, old people.

      Even just using PC programs makes me feel old in this day and age. That said, I am the same age as Windows XP…

        Jesus Christ, get off my lawn! What is a 10 year old doing unsupervised on the internet??

          Yeah, this feels wrong.

          Anyone else remember what a huge deal windows 95 launch was? With The Rolling Stones.

          It always struck me that “start me up” was used for the launch, since the chorus has “you make a grown man cry” in it. It could just be my 16 year olds sense of humor at the time though.

        Hah! I’m as old as MS-DOS 2.0! (But really got comfortable using computers on my own with Windows 95/98/NT 4.0)

          …I was already eight years old when MS-DOS 1.0 was released.

          Ugh.

          At least I’m likely to die of old age before the resource wars really get kicking.

            Apparently I’m as old as DOS 2.13, but only really remember using 5.0 and 6.22, must have been 5 or so at that time.

            I remember Windows 2.0 on a b/w screen (more like amber honestly), played Reversi (without knowing how it really works) and used paint to make all black images and then use the eraser to play digital mole.

            Simpler times…

            I was 2, but we had an Apple 2 and then Macs until I was in college and built a PC right as Win 98 released.

        I just finished a Windows XP rig so I could relive some of my classic gaming moments. From my college years…

      Foobar2000 has all of these features. You might need some tweaking, but foobar can do practically everything as far as music library management goes. My default sorting is album artist, album year, disc, track number.

      As for song sort, if you meant sort by track number, it would be hard to find a player that does not support that. If VLC really does not support that, that is somewhat understandable, it is not meant as a serious music player after all.

          Quck search suggests sorting by album will also sort by track number in it. Also I found 4 year old feature request for VLC Android for sorting by track number that was added 4 years ago.
