Kids of today will never know why Winamp Really whips the Llama's Ass

Because it became rubbish.

@viat ok yes ... they should never have added video support ... it was downhill from there ...

I never got that reference either. And I used winamp a lot back in the days.
To me that was some random track they put for testing and never put too much though in it.

I still use winamp... better than windows media player

Aww man... Miss those days 😢

I'm 3, I've never used winamp, nevermind the kids of today, some of us adults don't understand it either.

@nmunro you missed out !

@ihatethat I, of course meant 30... Dunno how the zero got deleted... Anyway my friends used it, but I used Linux and frankly I didn't like how it looked and all I wanted was a big playlist I could hit shuffle on and let it play, I was informed at the time that winamp was a playlist based media player, which wasn't what I wanted.

I could have been misinformed, of course but based on the information I was given at the time it wasn't something I was interested in investing the time into.

I still use Winamp v2, it's great!

People still use media players? For me it's Google Music, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Youtube...

When the internet is down, my house is a very silent place.

@bittersweet Apple Music with Apple TV for me ... so I guess not ... but I do miss the days of Winamp and visualizations

@ihatethat I use LSD for that.

@bittersweet Spotify premium! Offline playlists for when the internet is down, otherwise it's just ad free

Since a lot of you use streaming services like Spotify let me ask you, can you add local audio files to your playlist so you can seamlessly listen to both the streamed music and your own local music?

@Bikonja yes

@iam13islucky Spotify? How?

Personally I've switched to Kodi for all media purposes. It has WASAPI support, a great resampler (works really well for me because my DAC only supports 96khz sample rate), and it supports all possible formats that I throw at it including CUE sheets, APE files and more.

@Bikonja you simply view your local files, then add said file into the playlist. I don't know how it works across clients, but that at least works on the device it is local to
