It's been a couple of years since I tried to find a good alternative to iTunes on OS X. Does it exist yet? Is there a Winamp for mac yet?
Maybe it is already usable enough for you.
Would be a tragedy to lose all the brilliant work that's been created over the years, even if I don't use Winamp anymore.
I just switched back to Winamp after getting fed up with the latest release of iTunes. At least it's a real application that I can download and own for myself, and doesn't stop working just because it's no longer being supported. This is a great example of why I don't move all my data to the cloud, or use browser-based apps for things that matter to me. Hopefully they'll release the codebase to the world.
As Linux user forced to use OSX at work I've settled on VOX [ http://coppertino.com/vox/ ] as suitable player for OSX.
XMPlay has to be mentioned here! Great player in not even 400 kB, but unfortunately Windows only. http://support.xmplay.com/

Out of curiosity: I use AHK to do basic testing automation for a windows application that I have literally zero ability to control programatically (to achieve actually good automated testing). Anyone have a better option for this kind of use case?
AutoIt is a popular choice: http://www.autoitscript.com/

Java may be going nowhere fast as a language, but the JVM isn't going away anytime soon.
If you combine Scala, Clojure and Groovy, you still don't have enough momentum on the scape of what Java had or even Python.

You don't need to. Since subsonic is Open Source, there's naturally multiple forks with the licensing code removed. The best fork, which also adds features, is madsonic[0]. I recommend it. In addition, if you already have subsonic, the license code is simply a check if your password = the md5 of your email. So using "example@example.com" and "23463b99b62a72f26ed677cc556c44e8" will make it think you're a valid subscri…
> the license code is simply a check if your password = the md5 of your email That used to be the case, but the newer versions actually phone home and verify the license.

I think he has a tiny point actually: I saw a number of people around me removing Java (or not installing it on new computers) after the numerous vulnerabilities reported recently. Just a data point but well - I wonder if this could affect sales of java-based product etc.
This is why. The never ending stream of security issues. The installer hijacking my browser search bar. The never ending nags about new versions, which hijack my browser all over again. It's just not worth it. I have removed Java from all my computers and will never install it again. I fully realize many web sites and services are implemented in Java, that's not what I was talking about. I will not install or run any…
