Oh man reading that playlist gives me serious flashbacks. Freestyler? Smack my bitch up? NICKELBACK???

Anyway yeah I saw they were doing a new release. I just have the few songs I had when I went with Spotify, and I only listen to them on the phone so it's not really applicable to me. I read something about incorporating streaming services as well somehow, like connecting to Spotify or something, but that could be entirely made up. I still have my skins folder.

OK, Nickelback. A lot of people hate them, like really, really loathe them, which I don't really understand. Personally I'm mostly dissapointed in them. The first album was kind of OK (at the time anyway, I probably wouldn't listen to it now), and the second album definitely had some high points, but then they didn't do anything new. I still remember the first thing that popped into my head when I first heard them: "In a few years with a bit of work these guys can get pretty good!" They didn't do that. They essentially went the other way. I mean what's this? I mean I like terrible music. One of my favourite bands is Electric Six for heavens sake. But Nickelback grate on peoples nerves. Just ignore them. Eventually they'll dissapear with the rest of Canada, when the mooses take over. They'll go away soon. Also, I once met an englishman who - in 2009 BTW - very seriously said Nickelback was the best band on earth. It was one of the most bizarre moments in my life.[/quote]

Why is there a VLC icon on the lower right?

Edit, oh duh, you have it open lol. Nice playlist

I like Nickelback...

Anyway on topic.

For people's info:
I downloaded it and, seems, it is a beta version (winamp58_3660_beta_full_en-us) they released, because, some others released an un-authorized download version. Looks like they are still working on the final release.

FreedomEclipse · Oct 22, 2018

Im tempted, but i wonder if my plugins for v5.6 would work....

Jep. My track list have most of the good old ones. Rednex - cotton eye joe, whigfield - saturday night, 2 Unlimited - No limit, Captain jack - Captain jack, MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This and so on.

Nickelback maybe have hate some places, but for me there is no hate at all.

Yeah dit just see that the file has beta in it. So its not the full version, with also maybe explain why it keep crashing for me.

GoldenX · Oct 22, 2018

This puts a smile on my face.
Best combination of looks and functionality on a player.
It can even play PC98 themes.

remixedcat · Oct 22, 2018

Be careful and watch firewalls!! vivendi has a stake in the company that revived winamp. also there's something phishy about the company as well.

phill · Oct 22, 2018

I remember WinAmp.. Man that was actually a piece of software that worked so nicely for just playing music as easy as possible!

I hope the final release catches on well!! Very much loving the playlist as well.. Grew up with that era of music, imo, some of the very best if I'm honest

johnspack · Oct 23, 2018

Running the beta version with classic shell... I love it! It recognizes and plays flac and displays proper specs.. notice the 96khz below

Your concern is appreciated. I don't think they're mucking about with it though. My firewall log didn't show any unusual activity. So far the beta is on the level.

does it really kick the Llamas ass?

I'll experiment first with a machine that's VLANed out first as well.

You stole mah playlist from then! haha Cotton eye joe was the first winamp song for me.

johnspack · Oct 23, 2018

yes, it does still kick the llamas ass! I can confirm. been listening to it for an hour now, can't stop....

Space Lynx · Oct 23, 2018

what are the benefits of winamp over foobar? i am new to this world... so i just always used foobar since that what people told me to do

johnspack · Oct 23, 2018

Probably not much... it's just a nostalgia thing for us old timers....

It would depend on your usage habits. The the only way to know is to give it a try.

Just playing around with it... so far, so good. It has not crashed for me, yet (never say never

).
So far, I have not seen any unusual activity with it, either.
