It really whips the llama’s ass.
I can still hear this.
Came here to say that. Somebody better warn the llama.
Baaaaaa! 🦙
I don’t like animal abuse but I make an exception for llamas
How else will they learn to not eat hands?
Millennials will see this and say “hell yeah”
Hell yeah!
Hell yeah brother!)
Twin turbskis?
I smashed that upvote button so hard. Whip that llamas ass
‘Sweet.’
Also acceptable: Dope, dude, w-t-f, oh my God, holy shit, duuuuuude.
Gen X: Radical, gnarly, cowabunga, I want a living wage.
No, no. We want a thriving wage at this point. This living wage BS isn’t getting us anywhere.
Tiiiiiight
zOMG!!
Hell nah. I moved to Plexamp years ago and nothing will bring me back.
Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.
Maaan, I had so many different skins for my Winamp player. Was such a great time to be on the internet. It was open and anonymous and had yet to be fully commercially exploited.
There was a setting (or plugin?) to use a random skin on startup.
You could actually set it to change skin on every song in playlist. Great feature if you were skin hoarder like me.
For anyone wanting to get a nostalgia hit: Winamp Skin Museum
Edit: Spelling
Ah. This is great. It even plays the music
The best part was the commercially “exploited” parts were so woefully done. It was great seeing mega corporations stumbling to figure out how the internet worked, while the little guy has full control over it.
FYI there’s a stand alone version of milkdrop but on crack called nest drop
In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!
This! 😵💫
Still whipping the llama’s ass all these years later! So glad this one never died. Way too much time getting all my music tags right so everything would be formatted correctly in Winamp when I was young.
This is the ONLY music player I found with a logical and reasonably laid out library.
Ever try Media Monkey?
MediaMonkey is the GOAT for ease of use and library management. Been using them for years since like 3.x, maybe 2.x.
Next can we get ICQ?
Uh oh!
Fuck I forgot my number
I still remember mine somehow.
I remember mine, but it’s cause mine is only 7 digits
I still remember mine too. I wonder what useful information I could remember if I didn’t remember shit like this?
Mine is 8, so I was behind you I guess.
I joined in the first month, and was still in the 8 million range. ICQ exploded when it launched.
When did it launch? I remember making my account at sometime in 1999.
Hell, I googled mine and can’t find any info so I’ll share it here, fuck it. 91369100
8833052 I joined in the first month
I use that sound for notifications to this dy.

Damn, I’d even works on mobile
Never heard of anything on the playlist before and I doubt I would have really stumbled on it normally because it’s not the style I normally seek out but so far it all slaps. How is it they’re allowed to include this stuff on their website?
Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.
Meh. No Ella Fitzgerald.
I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.
If this gets updated and ported to Linux, I’d switch. Until then, Sayonara Player is still the best I have found on Linux.
What about xmms? It was basically a winamp clone, I used to use that on my Linux boxes 20+ years ago
Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.
You mean Audacious, right?
Yes, sorry, I always get them mixed up.
I have never found a Linux media player I liked (I don’t really like Sayonara). I would love Winamp for Linux!
Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
Musicbee is a pretty good Foobar alternative.
… which is also not open-source. But yeah, it’s areally good music player and organizer.
So, where can I get a fresh copy of Limewire?
Screw limewire, soulseek is the way, an endless sea of perfectly organised music libraries, you’ll find what you want and stuff you didn’t know you needed.
Thanks for this. I’d not heard of soulseek. I’m an *arr person with Usenet. It’ll be nice to see if I can find some rare / missing items.
I am a mildly net savvy person who only knows about torrents and file sharing. Can you point me to resources where I can learn more about Usenet? Also, what client and service do you use to access it? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.
To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the “newsgroups”, but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).
You don’t need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:
- an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)
- a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)
- a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)
Good luck!
Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.
Tldr you’ll need a hoster, newshosting is what I use And an indexer drunkenslug is one I use. I have 6. Lol
Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.
Good luck!
The problem is when they’re perfectly organised in a different manner from what you expect :D
Yeah I judge them by how they organise their collection.
I organize them into
Source (Bandcamp, Deezer, etc) --> Artist - Album --> Files
It’s easy to navigate and makes handling multiple versions of the same album easy because they are seperated into source folders.
For the files themselves lately I’ve been doing something like
Country of Origin/Artist/Original Year - Album (Catalogue Number) (Release Year)/(used to do it without the country, but at one point they became way too many, and I don’t really like organising by letter or whatever). I love foobar2000 with Facets because of the fact that you can shove any arbitrary tag into the files and then have columns show it (I’m doing that with the countries for example), but I’m now suffering a bit because of that habit - I started also self hosting my library and Navidrome that I’m using doesn’t like just any tags that you throw at it (it especially doesn’t like it if you have multiple releases of the same album that have come out in the same year).Sorry but I gotta say it… having artist as a seperate folder is wild.
My view is that not having separate artist folders is wild, but hey, whatever works for you.
All in all however specific folder structure is not terribly important to me; what’s important is that the tags are in order and that I can make the app I’m using present the stuff in the manner that I want.
Do you share music on p2p services or do you just have a personal collection? The reason people don’t like seperate artist folder is because when sharing the folder it won’t include the artist name.
Perfectly organizing in 50 different ways has a name too
Now I’m sad that it already has a name - I don’t get to name my diagnosis.
/s
if you’re being for real, it’s successor is this. though compared to other offerings these days I don’t really prefer to use it. open source and no ads tho so that’s cool.
I wasn’t, but thanks!
Be cool, use Frostwire
Audiogalaxy for me. But then I love BBC radio dramas and I got I have no idea how many hours from there. Most of it lost now sadly.
I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol

No mention of a license but it talks about being the “official version”, suggesting one can fork it.
Depends if it’s source available vs open source.
I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.
I really liked winamp when my screen resolution wasn’t so high. I wish the interface could scale so I can still use the original look without having to squint.
The newest one fixes scaling but you need to set a compatibility setting. Use the newest version. After install right click and hit properties. Click compatibility settings. Set for all users if applicable. Select override hdpi settings. In the drop down select system enhanced. Ok apply … Restart the application. Enjoy.
You can also adjust the test in the actual winamp menus. But you can look up how easier than what I laid out.
Thank you!!
I’m still using Winamp 2.91. I’m just too used to it to change. Now, if someone added Flac support to the same interface, I’d be happy. And if someone ported it to Linux and Android, I’d pay big bucks for it.
Not sure if that version supports them, but there’s a FLAC plugin for Winamp.
I’m using winamp 5.666 for windows.
There is finally a decent winamp for Android, but I use the Samsung music player instead.
Would love a Winamp for Linux
Maybe I would try an Android version, but Linux would be a pass, nothing they would come up with could displace MPD+ncmpc++ for me at this point.
Maybe I would try an Android version

Have at it. It’s been there for as long as I’ve owned an Android phone.
