What I love is that Winamp has not changed one bit for the version that is on my Windows laptop.

  Yup, and I find this air of nostalgia amusing since I still use Winamp everyday. What's even funnier is mIRC, though. Unlike Winamp, mIRC is still actively developed and it still looks more or less exactly like it did back in the Windows 3.1 days.

    I love the mIRC design and would still use it but the developer rugpulled the ‘lifetime’ licences and requires you to beg him to give a free one or buy again. I have no idea why they thought that a good idea.

      I mean, I wouldn't like it either, but if I really had to I would buy it again seeing as I use mIRC every single day. The RoI on that is massive, certainly better than just buying another game on Steam. Incidentally, when did he nix the lifetime licenses? I bought one over a decade ago and I used it to activate mIRC on my Windows 11 machine last year just fine.

        Sometime in the last few years, for licences older than 10 years. I’d have renewed it too if he had done it by request - but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth to have it unilaterally changed and Khaled can go jump. I installed mIRC… and found my licence didn’t work.
