Well, I've never had a single reason for abandoning WinAmp for playing music that lives on my hard drive - so yes, I do remember.
WinAmp is a tool, and it still works. If you aren't using it, perhaps you actually want a place instead of a tool?
- munificent 9y agoI do still want a tool, but I no longer maintain a local corpus of music files. I prefer streaming services these days.
- romwell 9y agoYup, but a streaming music service is a place. A tool is something that you have. For that matter, Winamp is still a tool you can use to access streaming services: rtsp streams / internet radio / ShoutCast / etc. The problem is not with the tool, it's with the places you want to bring your tools to. They specifically don't allow you to do that. They close down the API's and take down alternative clients. Spotify feels like a place because it is a place, and it's not your home.
