Lollypop als Linux-Alternative zu Winamp (Classic)
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Lollypop is a solid replacement for Winamp if you primarily use it for audio. It handles common formats, manages libraries, and offers ReplayGain, which Winamp lacked natively. However, it is not a drop-in swap for power users. Lollypop is GNOME-centric, lacks video playback, and has no plugin system for custom skins or visualizers. If your Winamp usage involved heavy skinning, scripting, or video, Lollypop will feel limiting. For basic music playback and organization on a modern Linux desktop, it is lightweight, stable, and sufficient.

Ihre Winamp (Classic)-Dateien öffnen
Lollypop does not natively import Winamp .m3u playlist files directly through its UI, but you can manually open them if they use standard M3U syntax. Media files themselves are standard formats, so no conversion is needed. Exporting playlists to M3U is supported, allowing you to share them with other players. There is no direct migration tool for Winamp settings, skins, or plugin configurations.
Von Winamp (Classic) zu Lollypop wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Lollypop from your distribution’s repository or Flathub.
- Point Lollypop to your existing music directory to scan the library.
- Manually open Winamp .m3u playlists if they contain relative paths that resolve correctly.
- Configure ReplayGain settings in Lollypop to match your preferred volume normalization.
- Install a separate visualizer application if you require audio visualization.
- Test playback of your most common file formats to ensure codec support.
