The last new song (read: piece of music) I discovered was the soundtrack to the film Gravity. I discovered it by watching the film. I then did a quick search on The Pirate Bay, downloaded one torrent, and started enjoying it in actual Winamp. The generic case for me is: hear something, possibly search for info about the music used, download it, enjoy. Mind if I asked why you stopped with offline music and the world's best player?

Thanks for the detailed answer. Have you get a chance to try cubic.fm ? I'd love to know your views on it, since you are a llama lover :) There is a sad story behind. I stopped using winamp, when my PC and hard-drive got stolen. I couldn't download all the music I had. Then I started using streaming services on a regular basis.

  I haven't even heard about that before. Visiting their website doesn't fill me with hope (just a blank page with a nice NoScript logo). I will allow it, see what happens, and possibly report back. And I am sorry to hear that. I was pretty devastated when my old PC died but I at least had all my data. [EDIT] There is almost no information about the "app". A slick promotional video on youtube shows 5 seconds of it. A not so dense list of a dozen songs and a mouse clicking on one. That's all you get to see of it. I can't see whether it has good separation between its concept of a Media Library and Playlist. This is the largest thing that keeps me on Winamp. That doesn't even go on to mention technical features. Replay gain? Gapless? Decoder quality? (I assume it uses whatever you browser has). Does it have ratings, playcounts, visualisations?
