#63I remember writing a Foobar2000 plugin to emulate the Winamp API so my mIRC song spam scripts still functioned. It was buggy as hell as I was still new to C++ programming and it eventually got added to a hard-coded blacklist in the app for causing stability issues. I ended up open sourcing it and it still lives on 19 year later, about three forks deep and a lot more stable and functional. The power of open source!
Some of the most fun I ever had was trying to make the utterly ridiculous mIRC script programming language do things it was not meant to do. Pretty sure I recall someone I know writing a primitive web server with it IIRC

You're thinking waffles.fm -- what.cd was seized by authorities. waffles didn't even come close to the glory of what.cd
Would you happen to know if the story is written out anywhere?

Doubtful. With Linux you can setup a streaming server and stream your music across different devices. You can automatically download covers and lyrics for each song and automatically organize and index your collection for search.
I have yet to find a Linux app as amazing as mp3tag

#70Ugh, I almost got detention in middle school because of this app. I was talking about it and the teacher overheard me, thought I was saying FUBAR. He pulled me into the hall and started chewing me out, and I had to be like "No, it's my music player." I remember the thing I really liked about it was all the custom skins it had.
Wow, I thought FUBAR was an acronym invented specifically to be polite and not use the f-word explicitly.
