All this winamp talk! This makes me nostalgic of hours of 15 year old me downloading every skin to find the "best one", and listening to the Fragile by NIN. Boomy late 90s pre-9/11 days when everything seemed so solid and successful.

Matrix skin FTW!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Foobar2000 is also in the microsoft store which avoids a load of 'find the right download button that isnt an ad pretending to be a download button' nonsense https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9PDJ8X9SPF2K

Personally, I hate this attitude. Using a big corps walled garden just for a tiny bit of convenience. With just a tiny amount of effort you can find reputable places to download software. But most people have your attitude and now pc's have become like consoles, where a big corp monitors all your activity and decides what you can and cant do with your machine, and the idea of the pc as a personal universal computing…

If you don’t want Microsoft knowing what you do use Linux. If you’re in Windows the store is the way to go for installing software.

Same. I don't know if civilization peaked then or if it was just that we were young in a good time

Between those two, young in a good time for sure. But really, just young in a time. Essentially none of the issues we face today are new in the last 20 years. You were just less aware of them then.

Darren Owen (Dr_O) keeps Winamp updated here at the Winamp Community Update Project: https://getwacup.com/ He's been releasing new updates every few months for the last couple of years, and it's great. It's still how I use/listen to a lot of my old Media that's hard to find on streaming sites. It also still supports the DSP plugins, a favourite of mine is Stereotool. I wish I could find a way to plug DSPs into Browse…

I used to use Soundflower to apply effects systemwide.

Can't say I miss the battles with trying to get a local music library volume equalized across both classic and hard rock...

Cloud streaming did improve some things

Wait, winamp didn't work on Windows 10? Why is that? I've been using it -version 2.91- in Windows 7 without problems (in fact I'm currently listening to it right now). I thought that it was solidly programmed and that it could work with any Windows as long as the underlying OS API was compatible. Is that not the case? EDIT: Ok, after reading the comments, it seems that Winamp does indeed work in W10. So I guess that…

I don't know why but an awful lot of pro audio software had to be updated for Windows 10. I remember Audacity not working at first either.

As far as the western world is concerned I think the “peace dividend” was a real thing.
