Wow. Been a long time since I've used Winamp.. but man was it good!
I used to have a ton of fun developing presets for the visualization plugins - AVS(Advanced Visualization Studio) and Milkdrop.. are those still functional?

choco install -y foobar2000
Are people actually using chocolately? I never could get over the way they get you to install it with the equivalent of piping curl into. Or the way it kept advertising the paid version, which is really disconcerting when something has become effectively the only way to manage what software you have installed (or will be eventually).
I do.
But to your second point, I don't think of chocolatey as a package manager to rely on. I just see it as an alternative download location, and uninstall the software through the Control Panel later.
Re: Winamp for Windows 10
#113I tried Winamp a few months ago and was disappointed to find that it's evolved into a media center more than a player. I was hoping just for a simple player where I can easily drop files in a running playlist, like VLC does. There were also some issues I experienced (that I don't remember), but I'm guessing they have been ironed out since win 10 is officially supported now.
So... why not use VLC since it already supports what you want? :-P
Theoretical purity aside (being an everything player, transcoder, etc instead of just an audio player) it is simple to use and lightweight enough (e.g. just opened an mp3 file and VLC's memory usage was ~25MB), at least for modern PCs.

#114I've long ago settled on Foobar2000. Still have Winamp 2.0 has a spot in my heart.

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999
I’m not aware of any raging worldwide pandemic like we have today though - not in anyone’s lifetimes going back a few generations.
HIV/AIDS probably fits the bill or comes close. It doesn't seem as drastic as covid, because of the means of transmission. However, it was newly discovered in many living people's lifetime, and it did spread throughout the entire world relatively quickly.
The others that I remember being scary in media reports contemporaneous with the Winamp-ish era were Ebola (discovered in the '70s, an outbreak in '95), and SARS (2003), but thankfully those never spread worldwide.

#116"* Improved: [in_mod] OpenMPT-based Module Player (replaces old MikMod player)"
The new plugin is not configurable. This is a shame, as I like to listen to my chiptunes without interpolation for instance. Hope this changes for the coming releases!!

Same. I don't know if civilization peaked then or if it was just that we were young in a good time
I suspect you hit a point I never thought in that way. Politically as point out by a book who we are (the we is American), the American dream as a furnace where all race lives happily together as American x (American American, American Mexican, American Italian ...). Obviously not paradise but the dream is alive. 2. Economically you have the chinese factor which raise up as cheap and very good labour source. And the…
Proof. Read.

It just seems like a big red bullseye, hack it and have your spyware spread to a lot of computers
they haven’t had a package injected with malware is impressive

#119Is anyone using WASTE? (another nullsoft product)
It was more of a tech demo than a real product.
Re: Winamp for Windows 10
#120I've always thought of AIMP ( https://aimp.ru ) as the modern sucessor to winamp. It has that braindead ease-of-use, with a lot of pretty impressive functionality and integration easily accessible from a standard install. Foobar is the choice for ultimate customisation, but i gave up trying to achieve what was present in a basic AIMP installation, and in several years of playing, coverting and tagging, the only lasti…
I only use a single playlist and thereby would like to get rid of the "default" playlist tab in the compact main window. Would you know how to do that?
