      Ahh memories: this video Winamp was great because it was lightweight, performant, and did not stand between you and your music.

    2. @nickpsecurityFeb 2017· in “Nullsoft: The death of the last maverick tech company (2004)”

      Winamp was a great, music player back in my day that combined features with great, skinnable appearance and visualizations that could leave you in a trance. Plus it had a funnier opening than the competition at the time: this video

    3. @evanmoranAug 2025· in “What's the strongest AI model you can train on a laptop in five minutes?”

      This literally is fast enough to really whip the llamas.. well, you know. And for the younger folk, this mp3 player was the precursor to Spotify: this video

    4. @johnsillingsNov 2021· in “Winamp source code leak”

      Man, that audio ( this video ) makes me so nostalgic. Apparently it was a Wesley Willis reference, too, which just makes it 1000x better.

      So nostalgic. In all the example images, the Matrix (1999) soundtrack will play after the Winamp intro sound. this video
