I mean, winamp had playlist, shuffle, and played music. What more do you want?
cue list, but winamp had that too. I like my cue list separate from my playlist.
I recently went back to og Winamp!
Man, I spent thousands of hours with Winamp blasting in the background while gaming in my teens.
I forgot about Winamp! I'm going to have to give it a try again. The last time I used it was in 2013, because there was a plugin for extracting the music from Turbografx roms to .wav files. The soundtrack of my childhood.
The (full) Shrek OST isn’t on Spotify. So messed up.
I wanna stay hooome todaaaaay.
I used Coolplayer and had a totally awesome Phantom Menace podracing viewer tablet skin I made myself. There was transparency, and the red light I included for shuffle had shading like a real LED, and you could put the buttons ANYWHERE!
Wait until you hear about boom boxes... 😅
