Bloated you all say? dunno maybe, but you can chose what to install, mine is like old school with new skin.. I dont install that winamp agent support and all extra stuff except shoutcast and its great.
it was good program back then, but the lack of vision cut them off guard. Foobar 2000, j river, ASIO, wasapi etc... player changed a lot and winamp stayed the same.
I still use winamp after all these years , tried others but always came running back. I wont use another program either unless it stops working or shows bugs.
I used to use WinAmp all the time, back in the ol days. Used it to stream music as well as I had some plugins I used with my keyboard and sorts. Sad to see them go. Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass!
I always hated it. ALWAYS, it was unstable and resource hungry. I sticked with Media Player 6.3 back in the day. Nows a day I use Foobar2k Not a loss to me. But, a pity for those who use it.
It was my number 1 media player. I still have it on my PC but rarely us it. I use foobar since several years ago
media player 6.3 was released in 2000. wouldn't call that back in the day. many of us used Winamp way before that, I used it from day one, in 1997.
R.I.P WinAnmp Thanks for the great time we had, The Lama and me.. I used it from day one, loved teh visualizer and all.. Well. i hope you are in a better place now. hehe.. AIMP 3 is my New PlayToy... greetz BetA
Well, I got my first computer at the end of 2000, so, yeah. A mighty Pentium 3 600mhz But, I knew it before hand. Used it in a couple of cybercafes around 1997/8 Never liked it.
Well I loved a skin called new clear and since they cut the support to that quit using winamp, and because it was bloated, then I tried foobar2k wich is great, but backing up the fonts, plugins and what not, every time I formatted the disk, took me to quit using fancy mp3 players, and now it's the 1st thing that plays mp3 that I use.
Hats off to WinAmp fans. I also used WinAmp a lot to listen to online radio and listening to music. But I just switched to VLC and never looked back. (was 4 - 5 years ago...)
Ive been using Winamp since 99-2000. Its the only music player that I have ever used, its awesome for shoutcast too. never had any issues with it.ever.
man, what a shame, while feeling bloated (winamp, that is), i really enjoyed some of the visuals for play music with.
It was the first thing i would install back in the day. After i discovered Aimp and MediaMonkey,i never installed it again. I am sorry for the dev team.
I'm looking for a worthy replacement. I'm looking for milkdrop (or anything like it) support and shoutcast/icecast support. EDIT: Trying AIMP right now. Quite liking it.
