It also has no wireless and has less disk space than your Archos.

  Basically the closest thing CmdrTaco will ever have to an infamous Bill Gates-esque '640k' quote, although he actually said it (more or less). I'm sure there's some here that are very confused by this though, so here's the context: https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ipod https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-i...

With a "Win" in the name and it being a primarily Windows-only product for all of its ~20 years of its existence, I'm hardly surprised that it is.

  There was an Android version, which was incredibly good... and IIRC there was a MacOS version at one point.

    Yup, MacAmp was a thing for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAmp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAmp

    I stopped using the Android version several years ago because it stops playback of Shoutcast streams when running in the background (or when the screen is off). Have you gotten around this somehow?

      No... but usually when running it, was in the car with the phone on the charger, so a non-issue... I stopped when the news they were shutting down came out. Here's hope that they'll pick things up again.

  I got a pagefault trying to run the setup: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/djN3xqZFph/ https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/djN3xqZFph/ Edit: Got it working with running wine in 32-bit: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine winamp58_3660_beta_full_en-us.exe

  Because it was dismissive and unsubstantive. We're trying for a bit better than that here. Please don't post additional comments about getting downvoted. That's against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

This is a good pun when speaking about an MP3 player.
