VLC como alternativa Linux ao Winamp (Classic)

Atualizado em 2 de novembro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

VLC is a solid replacement for Winamp (Classic) for users who need a single application that plays audio, video, and CDs, supports playlists, and offers skins and visualizers. It covers most of the core features Winamp users rely on, plus extra media formats and streaming support. It is best for users who prefer a lightweight, all‑in‑one player without the need for a separate library manager or extensive plug‑in ecosystem.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Winamp (Classic)

Winamp stores playlists in .WPL or .WAX files and skins in .WSC or .WSC files. VLC can open most .WPL files but does not natively read .WAX or Winamp skins. To migrate, export playlists to M3U or XSPF from Winamp, then import them into VLC. Skins must be recreated manually or by using VLC’s skin editor.

Trocando o Winamp (Classic) pelo VLC, passo a passo

Export Winamp playlists to M3U or XSPF format.
Open VLC and go to Media → Open File or Playlist to import the exported files.
Install VLC’s skin editor from your distro’s package manager if you want custom skins.
Create or download a VLC skin that mimics your Winamp look.
Test playback of your media library to ensure all files load correctly.
