WACUP

WACUP is a multimedia player that aims to keep the spirit of Winamp alive, offering a user experience that is very similar to the classic player. The project, which started life as a simple plugin package for Winamp, ended up becoming a standalone player. In fact, WACUP stands for WinAmp Community Update Project.

Full or Lite installation, you decide

During the WACUP installation process you can choose between two different installation types. The Full installation allows you to get the full experience, with the option to play videos and stream, or with support for podcast libraries. The Lite installation, on the other hand, takes up much less space on the hard disk (around 7MB) and offers a very similar experience to the classic Winamp 2. If you do opt for the Lite version, you can always install the Full version later.

False positives

It is a known issue that the WinAmp Community Update Project installer shows several false positives on some antivirus programs. The program's developer is aware of this and mentions it on the official website. This is something he is actively trying to address, but considering that the false positive rate is between 3 and 6 percent, it is also not a priority. In any case, it is a false positive.

The classic Winamp you know and love

After installing either the Full or Lite version, you can start using WACUP. The app works exactly like Winamp Classic. In other words, you can comfortably listen to all the music stored locally on your hard disk. You can also drag entire folders into the Media Library, create your own playlists, view song lyrics, and much more. In short, you can enjoy all your music your way.

Choose your favorite skin

One of the features that made Winamp so popular was undoubtedly the large number of skins available and how easy it was to change them. The same applies to the WinAmp Community Update Project. The first thing you can do after installing the program is choose between several traditional skins, including Winamp Classic, Big Bento, Winamp Modern, and other variants. In addition, as you would hope, all Winamp compatible skins are also compatible with the program.

An excellent multimedia player

Download WACUP and enjoy a lightweight, powerful and easy-to-use music and video player. Thanks to this program, you can listen to all your music offline with no subscriptions and no hacks. You can simply choose an album or playlist and listen to it on your PC. The app will also make you feel right at home if you used Winamp Classic back in the day.
