Remembering all the time I wasted collecting and curating a personal MP3 library (now replaced completely by Spotify), I wonder what current practices I spend a lot of time on that will be become obsolete.

I still have my old MP3s despite only really using Spotify these days. I don't regret the time spent building and curating that collection in the slightest. If anything, I expect Spotify itself to be the thing that becomes obsolete, leaving me to regret that last several years in which I haven't kept up with adding new music to the collection that I actually own.

I loved how easy it was to create skins for Winamp ... here's the skin I created and have been using since 2012: https://www.deviantart.com/yboris/art/Lear-lite-YBoris-remix...

Making skins for Winamp was how I taught myself photoshop.

Winamp for me is linked to the time internet was still internet without the giant corporations ruling and ruining the entire single single part with heavily overengineered saas solutions. It was the time of altavista, icq, popup explosions and 1mb download for a program. It was still unexplored cowboy/free for all land, ran by tech dudes. Now its dominated by the absolute evil of capitalism. Not tech, but marketing. bleh

On January 14, 2014, it was officially announced that Belgian online radio aggregator Radionomy had bought Winamp and Shoutcast, formerly owned by Nullsoft. - https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/14/5263086/winamp-radionomy-... So since this site was launched, it looks like you can now download Winamp from the Official Winamp website: - http://winamp.com/ For those asking for old versions of Winamp, you can get them here:…

Wow. They’re even hiring a Winamp developer!

I remember there being a website (forgot the name/URL) where people could share their visualizations for Winamp. I downloaded so many presets from there and even recorded some to VHS because I thought they were so cool. I made my own, too, mostly by taking something made by someone else and changing the code/numbers to see how it would react. I wish I could find those files again somewhere and just spend a moment imm…

Depends if you are thinking about AVS or Milkdrop.

Me, being an AVS guy, can only recommend https://visbot.net .

In the olden days there were: - https://customized.org and - https://deviantart.com/

DA is sadly almost unusable for finding AVS presets now (as I discovered today), so you may start with this page:

- https://www.deviantart.com/tobsiv/favourites/41261647/featur...

for finding some of the more famous packs.

Me too. I made a pretty sweet custom Dave Matthews skin. I wonder if it is in the bundle here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My only problem with Winamp 2 is that people laugh at me when they pass my computer and see it.

Yeah :-) Show them the keyboard shortcuts. Like the zxcvb set for the main 5 controls (prev track, play, pause, stop, next track), or pressing j (for jump) and then typing a part of the name of the song you remembered to play what you want at the speed of thought + typing. They'll understand that ~~it's really fast~~ it really whips the llama's ass!

I totally forgot about those shortcuts!

There's is a website that's keeping versions of Winamp, including the one I consider the best 2.95 https://winampheritage.com/download-winamp-player

Oh man, you have made my world that much better today. Thank you. Good coffee, and Winamp 2.95 back on my machine at long last. What more could I possibly want?

I used to religiously upload all my listens to Last.fm, and play all my music through apps that had Last.fm sync capability. I have detailed listening data (down to the day) available for 2005-2015, roughly ~100k listens in all.

Unfortunately, Last.fm as a social network was completely dead, either by user abandonment or by bot infestation. After a couple of years of dead message boards and comments sections, it didn't make sense to keep the scrobbling going.
