I don't know about you guys, but I've this news just ended my teenage years =( I've used winamp to store my 2TB music collection for like 10 years. yeah back then to get 2TB from 120gb hdd's was something big, but anyway, even after dragging and dropping the whole 2TB directory into winamp, it processed track by track, without destroying my ram, and my CPU. I've had a zillions (Around 10gb, it's 1-2kb per song) of modular music from: atari, c64, nds, n64, sega, ps1,2,3 and etc and etc. All of these was supported by winamp plugins. This was working perfectly, sorted in my winamp by categories/genres and various other methods. I've been really enjoying this player for all my geeky life. And now it's going way =( They could at least release and opensource. That classical design is masterpiece, I don't know any player you can beat winamp's design, unless it's xmms player in linux, which is probably also dead for a long long time. Although I'm currently residing on OSX, and I'm using iTunes to sort all my stuff, it's still not so great as Winamp. All I need is proper music indexer, and all possible music format support. What could be better is having transcoding software together with this cute player, and I'd be happy till the end of my life lol. Now I have to use only ALAC instead of FLAC, and ofcourse mp3. For converter I'm using XLD, for video VLC or mplayerx, for converting videos Handbrake. C'mon Winamp was universal tool! I belive some plugins could provide transcoding.
LET'S CRAWL WINAMP SIDE AND SAVE A HISTORY OF GREAT SOFTWARE.
Lol i think this should be in computer museum or something =/
Winamp, I'll miss you so much, I know that "justin can't code it" sometimes, but I still love all your team, your product, your efforts, Thanks for being with us with our teenhood!!!
P.s and what about winamp shoutcast? this was only ultimate radio solution in the whole web!!
why you need this in the first place? I think I'll troll some colleagues around. Although screen is locked, I'll just push alt+PrtScn and "c" to create a kernel panic. Cruel? Yes. Who's problem is that? - CANONICAL
yeah linkedin has tons of useless stuff.. i just keep my cv updated, trying to avoid reading news, or subscribing to groups. i've actually have found few jobs through linkedin posted job offers. Most of recruiters sending automated messages with invitations which I always decline. there's no way to communicate with your connected person.. no chat, no email provided.. it's easier to grab name and surname, and write PM through facebook. in my country linkedin is not so popular and recruiters actually writing nice messages with a good suggestions, that's how i've found a job in barclays. After living 2 years in netherlands.. i still get lot's of spam from there. Sometimes it's seems for me that only my country has a culture of recruiting, all others just spamming to get your attension.
yeah actually i've asked my self the same.. what's the point, my main goal is to create some good quality music that would be valueble.. taking about popstars.. i don't give a shit, i will earn more as a senior developer per life, then trying to get popular in minutes or "with quality" per lifetime... but this article is quite nice experiment. actually youtube is more then enough for me, although i don't have too much viewers.. i'm still glad to have some at all :)
