    i still use Winamp. Plus Milkdrop is the best free visualizer. With an extra program(VB-Cable) you can play music through other apps and it will go through winamp and milkdrop. Spotify with Milkdrop is the shiiiiiit

    Might be cool to hack in support for Plex and subsonic. It's not 1998 anymore, my mp3s aren't sitting in a folder on my desktop anymore. Would be fun to return to winamp and use it to stream music from my server though.

        If it works for you then no!

        But for me, I like using Plex or subsonic so that I can easily access my entire collection from my phone. I have my server setup with automated tooling to download new albums from artists I have monitored, torrent client is always on, I can search for and add music from my phone (as long as I connect to my VPN on the home network). All of this makes sense for my use case, especially considering that I already run the Plex server 24/7 so friends and family can stream whenever they want from it. None of it is on my desktop, so that the server doesn't grind to a halt when I'm gaming or visa-versa. Also I don't have to leave the gaming computer running all the time. And I have the server drives setup to pool their storage together, so adding new drives is relatively easy.

        But obviously a setup like this doesn't make sense for everyone. I've spent way too much money on server equipment (mostly hard drives), but one could do a similar but scaled back version of this stuff with an SBC like the raspberry pi. As long as you have the time and will to get it setup.

    why does it say "Dec 16, 1" at the top when this seems to be a new announcement?

    That's nice. I saw like andrew hulshult who made dusk soundtrack put up the album with the visualizer from winamp. That was neat. This is good to hear.
