    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

      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

          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).

                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.

      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 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.

    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.
