Fuck you nigger I use it.
Same installer for 12 years.

It didn't go open source. The open source community would have kept it more active and alive.

>>55950594

yeah just like Clover and countless of other dead open sores apps were 'kept alive'

>>55950614
Speaking if Clover, is there a different program that provides tabbed file browsing.

I don't want a whole seperate file browsing program, just added tabs to the existing explorer.

I tried installing Clover on my new laptop and it screwed with my video.

>>55947987

Slow and bloated. VLC is bloated as well but sure as hell faster than winamp

>>55953044
Being faster doesn't mean when it's sole purpose is to "just werk" at the cost of everything related to quality.

>>55953067
1. It doesn't work actually. VLC has many capabilities that winamp lacks (probably for being deprecated)

2. Quality requires efficiency

You have no real reason to use winamp than hipster nostalgia these days

>>55953113
Winamp is a music player, it being able to play videos is a bonus.
Quality= doesn't sacrifice quality just for the sake of efficiency.

What's the best audioplayer that:
a. automatically organizes the audio files under artists and albums
b. has cover flow

basically what's the best itunes that's not itunes.

the old versions still work great
i really liked winamp as a kid, my brother had a cool Matzinger Z skin on the old winamp
TotalCommander was also pretty good

>>55953245
Winamp
Don't sort your files like shit and any media player will sort it like folder->Artist Name->Album Name-Song Name/Order

>>55953284
why would i do something myself when there's software to do it for me? in itunes i will just drag shit onto it and it automatically copies and organizes it under its specified library folder.

the term you're looking for is "anally probed"

>>55953126
>Quality= doesn't sacrifice quality just for the sake of efficiency.
Quality = not lagging randomly and crashing because the file was too big

>>55953332
Then it's not your programs that are shit, you're a complete retard as well.

>>55953344
Quality = Not having a shit computer that can't even compete with my 2002 PC.

Still on winamp 5.666. I'm considering an open source alternative. Is there one? I don't use library functions or anything. I just drag the music I like into one huge currently playing playlist.

>>55953440
You really don't get it, do you? VLC runs without lag and crash even in shit computers and Winamp being old, it is where it should excel at.

Too bad it excels NO WHERE and it still manages to crash on 2014 laptop. Your butthurt strawman defence is not convincing anyone and no one uses winamp anymore.

>>55953440

Go back to /v/, it's probably where you come from (judging by your argument)

>>55947987
I started using an MP3 player then a phone for all my music listening, and from that point on I only cared about my media player's video playing capabilities so I switched to VLC.

I gotta say I really appreciated WinAMP's ability to use plug-ins to read special formats. I used to have a big collection of JRPG music from NES, SNES, N64 and PlayStation games in their original encoding that could only played using plug-ins in WinAMP.

How do I do this

I use Music Bee nowadays. But I don't hear as much downloaded music as I used to.

When AOL bought Winamp and started to bundle it with shitty advertising campaigns and bloating the main interface by adding shit that wasn't called for, to the main interface, such as library, video support, internal web browsing.

Funny enough, one of the solutions to the cancer of Winamp, AIMP, went the same direction as Winamp and is now slowly meeting the same destiny as Winamp once did...

Thankfully, there's still Audacious for people who just wan't to play music in the backround

>>55952631
what is audacious
what is xmms
what is x11amp

>>55949863
This

I stopped using Winamp after they redesigned the interface and made it bloated as fuck

I think everybody escaped at that point and only grandpas that still use WinZip give a fuck about it

>tfw winzip is still a thing
>tfw there's people who pay for winzip and winrar when 7-zip literally does the job better and for free
>tfw they cost 30 bucks each
>winfags

>>55947987
>What went wrong?

Literally nothing. All of /g/ jacks off over foobar, but there is not a single reason to use foobar over winamp, since they literally do the same shit.
Unless you're an autistic ricerfag AND a winfag, foobar isn't even worth it.

>>55959098
I use foobar cuz you can have a fuckload of playlists open at any moment instead of having to save and load every fucking time you wanna listen to something else

Dismissing it ricer trash is just dumb

>>55947987
They tried to be iTunes

They didn't understand the reason why we used to like them is because they weren't that.

>>55959094
Do you know a single person who's ever payed for WinZip or WinRAR? Can't you just ignore the popup and the "free trial" lasts forever? That's what I always did before I knew about 7-zip

Nothing. Never needed to go beyond 2.95

Just use qmmp, literally the same shit as 2.95 with active development.

>>55947987
Nothing bro, they completed their mission.
Achieved final version, job well done.

>>55959094
>7zip
>extracts to a temp folder and THEN copies to the destination directory
I don't use software coded by retards.

>>55947987
I stopped caring about music player skins when I was a teenger, Foobar gets the job done without any extra bullshit and is nice and compact.

>>55959862
People still buy Total Commander (42 bucks, by the way), so I really have no doubts someone out there is still buying WinZip/WinRAR licenses.

>>55961309
I'm pretty sure Winzip and WinRAR do that as well.

>>55951919
That's like saying cars are dead because you can ride a bus.

Music players and Spotify are completely different from each other.

>>55959924
That looks rad

>>55959862

I bought WinRAR because I felt bad for using perfect software for free for over a decade.

Milkdrop and other visualizations were awesome.

>>55951706

I just installed this, but the tab function isn't working and folders are opening in their own window. Are there any options I need to tick?

Winamp pro keygen was simple and worked fine.
The key basically used the username+generator.

For example niggerfaggot got a key somethingsomethingsomething and it just worked. Manually updated it to a newer build every once in a while.

Though there were no real benefits in having WAPRO... The video player shit was broken as fuck and mp3 encoder was just LAME etc.

I just want a Player that syncs with my Android for me.

>>55962651
I never got that whole syncing thing. When I download songs, I just transfer them to my phone manually. It takes a second. Syncing requires you to set up your library and to make sure it doesn't expand beyond your phone's storage capacity, all that so you can just one-click it. Then it takes really long because it's figuring out the differences between your PC library and your phone library and neither your phone's storage or MTP are very fast.

>>55949927
this. i guess i am not the only old fart around here

In Helsinki library i found a small "hole" in the systems so i could permainstall winamp on the machines.

Basically user needed to have access to C:Program Files\Netscape Communicator\something so that the browser would work. I think i found it through the netscape edition of winamp...

Anywho, if they had deleted it, i just reinstalled it.

I listened to snakenet, gamingfm, vgamp, armitunes, etc. Shoutcast Radio

Sometimes i watched video streams on shoutcast tv such as DeSync etc.

i used winamp 1997-2010
2010 - onwards i've been using foobar2000

>>55950614
I'm using clover right now

>>55959098
You can rice the fuck out of Winamp as well. People still make skins for it to this day. Winamp can do literally everything any other player is capable of. You just might have to go hunt down some plug-ins.

>>55959924
I only updated from 2.95 to 5.0 for the "modern skins" the option. Otherwise I would still be using it. I hosted an Internet radio segment with fucking 2.95.

>>55963301
>2.95
Wasn't the last 2, 2.98 ?

>>55963343
I'm fairly sure it was... The internet however, disagrees with me.

>>55963343
I don't remember specifically. If there is that I never remember seeing it on oldversion. When I readopted Winamp years ago I went back to 2.93 because it was the last version I remember using pre 3.0. Then I had lost the install and went with 2.95 because it was the latest version available before 3.0. What I can tell you for sure is that if you don't want the fancy modern skins, and would prefer to just have the original player with different color schemes, there's no reason to go passed 2.95. Anything it can't do stock has a plugin.

>>55963343
>>55963374
>>55963456
Just checked.

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/winamp/

According to this there wasn't even 2.93, so I'm not sure what I used before 2.95. Maybe that's what I always had and just missed remembered. Or their database ended up with some missing versions.

i thought winfags use foobar
audacious has a winamp like skin
maybe some of the others as well

>>55962254
I get your point friend, but you're sort of wrong. You can play locally stored music through spotify, and I don't just mean music that's been downloaded via spotify.

>>55962235
This is correct. Even Windows' native zip shell extension does this when accessing zips inside zips.

>>55957699
you can still use milkdrop on foobar2000
