Fucking sucks.

My first player.

"Winamp it really whips the lama's ass..."

That was still my go-to player before iTunes.

I used it back in the day, but it's gone well past its expected lifespan.

Protip: Winamp 5.54, works "as a portable app" just by copying the file from the "Program Files" directory.

I still use it.

The last llama has been whipped.  A sad day.

I still remember seeing it for the first time at my friend's house in high school, where he had Metallica's No Leaf Clover queued up...  fitting, in hindsight.

Mine too.




I started college in the fall of 1997 and quickly learned about MP3s and network shares.




I'm feeling nostalgic about it.

Wow, that sucks. I've been using it for as long as I can remember.

Those pricks.

I love Winamp.  I paid for Winamp pro about 5 years ago and it has worked flawlessly.

Now I know why they stopped updating/upgrading.

its still the best sounding, uses the better Fruenhoffer codec
11/20/2013 11:50:36 AM EDT

So why is Winamp being killed off?
11/20/2013 11:52:40 AM EDT

I remember that Winamp was the shit back in the day.. I haven't used it myself in years.

I guess I'll have to go on using my compuserve music player

This sucks...  with a CD+G plugin, you could run karaoke files on  your computer.

Lots of  KJs rip their expensive CDGs to a hard drive and run this way.

So we could download the latest .exe installer and save it for later installations, right?
11/20/2013 12:02:22 PM EDT

Well, I've been running a cracked version of Winamp Pro since, pretty much forever.

I think its time to finally throw them a $20 spot, and have it legit.

Thanks for the years of awesome sound, Winamp, I will continue to use you until you won't work in whatever future OS is created in the future.

Also, fuck iTunes, and Windows Media Player.

You must be why they died, you probably are also why winzip is also dead.

Allow me to present the music player that all of the other former winamp users switched to aeons ago: Foobar2000

No linux version, but it behaves nicely in wine.

This.  Foobar is awesome.
Foobar has been the "new" winamp for the past 5+ years.



Winamp went to shit after 3.1.



Foobar can't be beat, zero bloatware bullshit, and it plays virtually everything.



Foobar for audio

VLC for video.

This.  Foobar is awesome.


Based on ARFCOM's recommendations, I just installed it.

As default-configured, the user interface looks kind of non-intuitive.

Anyone got any tips for fixing that?
