mac player with same hotkeys??

bzmarc · 19th May 2008, 22:28

I am a long time user of winamp pro and have been using winamp for 8 years now. I use it as a practice tool as a musician daily. I now have a mac (besides my pc) and would like to have the same experience on the macbook as my pc. I DO realize I can put windows on it and use winamp, but I would rather not put windows on the mac and dual boot.

Now for my question.....
If there isn't a mac version of winamp, is there a player I can use for mac (when I don't have my pc around) that I can have the same hotkeys?? The essential features I need are the winamp hotkeys...."c" to pause, "x" to start from beginning, and the arrows to go forward or backward while playing. I figure there would be a player for mac out there that hotkeys can be customized so I can use the player and keep my natural instincts.

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked out toolplayer? I'm not sure if they included customizable hotkeys in the last release or if they are including it in the next one.

A friend of mine swears by it - it uses almost no resources.

I have not checked out Toolplayer, but I will now. Thanks for the recommendation
