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…
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.
It's classic isn't? :)
I 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.
Really? Winamp looks the same to me as it did 20 odd years ago.
Maybe there are different versions? I have 5.65 released in 2013. It's exactly what you describe as wanting.
I have to say I don't understand this website/news. Winamp 5.8 Beta was indeed first leaked and then officially released over at the official website https://www.winamp.com/ Among other things, it has better support for Windows 10. And this happened two years ago.

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…

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 (2…
https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/fact-sheet > 32.7 million [24.8 million–42.2 million] people have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the start of the epidemic. Hopefully covid-19 could end up causing ~10x fewer deaths.

You're probably right but in general it's a problem with downloading windows software
I think having a MS account connected to your OS is also a problem. http://www.foobar2000.org/ however is a pretty straight forward site.
Also if you're not paying enough attention, the default signing into the Windows Store is to turn your local Windows login into a Microsoft Account login.
