Are there any plans to release Winamp for SymbianOS anytime soon?
If not, could someone please post some good alternatives ?
Thanks!

Nope. Don't expect Winamp to be ported to anything anytime soon. Nullsoft has very limited staff, so Windows takes all priority.

Even if you're willing to pay there's no acceptable Symbian music player.
I tried every Symbian player that managed to install on my Nokia 6120 Classic. Issues labeled with a * are deal breakers.
Nokia's built-in player (Nokia 6120 Classic)
free
- Music Library only displays track title. No option to display tracks as artist-title or by file name, which makes navigation of large music collections unnecessarily complicated.
- Music Library ignores folder structure, which makes navigation of large music collections unnecessarily complicated. (workaround: copy the folder name to the composer field of the mp3 tags)
- Music Library is unable to ignore ringtone folder(s).
- Can't append tracks to the "now playing" list. Selecting a new track or group of tracks overwrites the current list. (workaround: create a temporary ad hoc playlist)
- Playing a song automatically adds the entire virtual folder (artist, album, genre) to the "now playing" list instead of just the selected track.
- Opening a track from the file manager launches the player in reduced functionality mode.
- Player stores playlists in the root of the phone memory or memory card instead of in a user-defined folder.

- Player running in the background doesn't show anything on the standby screen.

A combination of Nokia's player with LCG Jukebox would get pretty close to WinAmp...Comment

Later versions of LCG Jukebox allow you to navigate via ID tags.
It's the only one that I've even considered buying and I'm not even sure that they're not overcharging for it, so no decision made yet...Comment

Lock required. Some idiots keep digging up old threads.Comment

If the information is relevant, then thread digging isn't such a problem - would you prefer one result in a search with all relevant information, or 500 results, some of which with only a small part of the information?
Besides, my response was only a couple of months after the previous one
