Re: winamp woes, please help
I switched to Foobar from Winap a few years ago and like it. Not saying you should switch now that you got your winamp problem fixed. That being said if you ever decide to try it out it can do everything you want. For playing game music, you have the fooGEP plugin, which does work with RSN files as well as VGZ, NSF and all the other common chipTune formats, plus a few other plugins to complement it like the DUM module decoder (That's D U M) for Amiga/other tracker modules, fooSid for C64, and there's also one for gameboy advance and Nintendo DS.
The UI is super simple. If you don't have any folders configured for the library, the only thing you'll see in the window is a tab switcher to switch playlists (each playlist is a tab like in a web browser), a list with file information for the currently playing file, and another list which contains your playlist. That being said, if you decide to add a library the itnerface for that also simple, adding just 3 more things to the window, a combo box to set how the library is sorted (including an option just to show the folders), a search box, and a tree which actually contains the library sorted by whatever you picked. It also has a CD wripper feature which can pull information from Online databases for track information and a file converter.
The one drawback to foobar is that it takes a while to customize. A common source of frustration is the hotkeys. Because by default, there aren't any set up, so you need to manually go and add some yourself. So you can totally make it feel like Winamp if you like.
