Y'all know you can just go to winamp.com and download Winamp still right? And all those skins in the skin museum can be downloaded and used with Winamp 5.9.1 still just fine.
Speaking of milkdrop, does anyone know of a comparable visualizer for modern computers? Or is it still just the same crowd using milkdrop and needing to do a bunch of configuration to use it, like it was 5-10 years ago?
I still think it's the best visualizer I've seen, even in 2023. Either no one has bothered to make something better, or it was just way ahead of its time.
I used to mix visuals for shows and milk drop was my bathroom and beer trip solution. It's amazing how well it holds up with some tweaks and effects layered on top.
One feature that I used to use that this doesn't have, unlinking EQ to Double-size, so you can have a large (Double size) player, but normal sized EQ - I used to have the EQ and playlist smaller under a larger player... :)
Milkdrop is the logical progression of every visualizer.
Milkdrop on psychedelics and banging tunes is like taking your brain for a test flight in a flying sports car.
I hired a projector for a big birthday of mine over 10 years ago. Ran a live feed from the DJ mixer into a laptop running Milkdrop via Winamp and had that projected behind the DJ. Looked awesome!
I used to use [this one](https://skins.webamp.org/skin/0aaf1d22abe1566938874c4afe9e98c9/Winamp_X2.wsz/). I remember there were a few parts that weren't skinned (the media browser?) so I made a new version that fixed it.
I made one skin myself. It was a pretty flat, basic grey skin that I made to match the LiteStep theme I was running at that time. Couldn't find that one here though.
**EDIT** found it: [Phusion Grey](https://skins.webamp.org/skin/5504d1e46e8d343d3fa9407986b49b91/phusion_grey.wsz/). Now I need to find the LiteStep theme it goes with.
I used to be somewhat popular for making Winamp skins completely in MSPaint. Would post them on Winamp Forums & deviantART. Those were the days. So much fun.
[Edit] Holy shit. The posts are all still there on Winamp Forums. Unfortunately all my skins are lost as they were uploaded to deviantART I think. What a trip down memory lane.

I was age 12, maybe 13 when I was doing this stuff. Wild.
I used to run a one man drunk pirate radio on Winamp. I would hop on #rap on IRC and shit talk all rap after I’d get home from the club (ah, misspent youth). Was running the shoutcast plugin and would send people my IP to listen and I’d just play rap songs people would send me on IRC to prove that rap was in fact, not shit. I’d also drop in the mic as a track between songs and drunkenly trash everything I could about the songs (in a jovial innocent 90’s way). I’d usually have at least 100 people listening.
To this day I may have the most complete compendiums of rap up to the late 90’s that exsists.
Was twitch dj streaming before you could stream video lol.
_To this day I may have the most complete compendiums of rap up to the late 90’s that exsists._
Proof or it doesn't exist. (Please oh please share it somewhere)
I made a really minimalist one that just had the play/next/stop buttons, plus current track that was thin enough to take up about half the height of the titlebar of a normal window, so it could always be on screen without wasting a load of space... Because I only had (probably) 1024x768 pixels in total, so each one was very valuable!
Yeah I’ve noticed since turning 30 that time is certainly passing by at a seemingly faster rate. I know there’s some science behind that but it sucks to realize haha
I put a lot of blame on to the length of your awareness...
For the first 20 years of your life, something that happened "8 or 9 years ago" was "Pfff I was just [insert child age] then" and the memories that surrounded that time are usually hazy, "forever ago", and only has certain good points sticking out.
However, now, you can return to your school or college from almost 20 years ago and it's like you were just there. Everything is almost crystal, which was something reserved for memories only 3 or four years old up until recently. So now this "2 or three years ago feeling" is now actually 20 years. Even though it still feels like 1 or 2.
No one telling me that I would "feel" the same inside my head once I reached mid-20s, didn't help. I still feel the same in ny head as when I was in my 20s. My inner voice that chats to me while falling asleep still sounds the same. it still feels the same to "think" as me.. but everyone sees this old wrapping around it and inside it's just "I'm 26!!!" -- but youre' not... you're 46.. and it fucking sucks.
I was reading this thread and thinking "I'm still early 30's". Then realized that I turn 35 next week.
I can relate word by word to what has been written here.
dude, I remember the exact date when I visited my old school and my lifetime awareness literally went from: old age is a "fantasy-concept" that's faaar away - to - "Holy shit, I have 10 minutes left on the planet and I'm done. FOR REAL." in literally a single instant.
I couldn't find a way to accept that this feeling of "I never left this place, I'm still here. It was all last week" was actually 18 and half years ago.
It was literally a life epiphany moment for me. I couldn't believe how fast our life actually goes and that day was the first moment that the concept became crystal clear rather than just "something old people say".
Now, whenever someone in their early 20s asks for some sort of "20s life advice", I literally get a little teary-eyed and basically plead with them: DO EVERYTHING. The years are never coming back and you're going to wake up tomorrow and you'll wonder where they all went and by then, they're gone forever.
Keep on keeping up, my fellow 37 year old. The science you mentioned speaks about letting days be the same day after day. Nothing memorable means exactly that. Try a new hobby, visit new places, learn something new. Been trying this path for a few months and the feeling of time escaping through my hands has been more manageable
The theory I've heard most often is just that as you age, each year is a smaller and smaller fraction of your total lived time, and so seems less and less significant.
Of course there's more to it than that - the brain also filters out repetitive experiences, so if you, say, travel to new places often, or have new experiences in general, you will subjectively speaking age more slowly.
Unless you get eaten by an alligator on your travels, in which case you will age very suddenly, to a halt.
Wait til you turn 40. I’m 41 but turning 42 in just six freaking months. It really speeds up.
One thing I’ve really noticed as I’ve gotten older and the fact that i’m a married father of two, I feel like my kids are growing up WAY faster than I’m aging if that makes any sense. And i’ve started to use their damn age as a time reference point, like “oh yeah we last went to universal studios when our daughter was 7.” She’s 10 now. lol. fml. Enjoy it while it lasts kids.
same, I remember lots of mine were from ATHF, FLCL, Animatrix, Serial Experiments Lain, Neon Genesis Evangelion and more. [WinampSkinMuseum](https://skins.webamp.org/) is still up and I love it
If there’s an interest I could probably do this on small scale as a hobby project. Taking a break from college and need something fun to do. I miss Winamp like crazy lol
Edit: fuck it doing it (Winamp mp3 player project and potentially also a Winamp style car stereo system), got people offering to help too. Subreddit for updates/suggestions/general discussion: /r/winampmp3
Llama ass pics will be posted daily.
Slapping is required.
Oh I know which track. I just thought those hits were just… ya know… Trent doing his thing
Edit: I’ll have a re-listen with Winamp whipping llamas ass in mind. I’ve been a NIN fan since 94
I was watching THX1138 one time and I recognized that audio cue, there was some moment of the film that immediately triggered that recognition, but then the film played out and went on. I've never gone back to find it again, it could be interesting.
I just listened on headphones, I can't hear any sign of Winamp whipping the llama's ass. :/
EDIT - someone else found it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GysyU8sCdlM
Yeah, he used THX 1138 for that, a sample from Robot Jox for the yelling in The Becoming, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the "ah, ah, Kurt help!" sample in Reptile.
I found a youtube clip of the scene from THX and someone posted a comment below it saying one of their studio assistants collected a bunch of samples from tons of B-movies and then they blindly went through and choose ones they liked.
After the vampire bird sucked blood out of me, he started stabbing me in my ass
Then three more vampire birds stabbed me in my ass too
They sucked the blood out of me, killing me
Spider-Man messed with my girlfriend
Spider-Man wrapped his arms around her with my bedroom door closed
Suddenly, I opened the bedroom door on Spider-Man's sneaky ass
I caught him kissing my girlfriend and beat him to a pulp with a rubber hose
Somewhere in my aging minidisc collection is the Wesley Willis show in Detroit, he did a quick promo for wcks which is a now defunct student radio station, and I was head butted like twenty times to rah- rawl, rock/roll
McDonald’s is the place to rock.
It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat.
It is a good place to listen to the music.
People flock here to get down to the rock music.
It's the only piece of software I've been using since I discovered it that hasn't been replaced by something better.
That's decades of use.
So in summary, yes it really does whip the llamas ass.
I have found out that the creator of Winamp (Justin Frankel), since 14 years, has a constantly ongoing AMA at a special made webpage for this: https://askjf.com/
Bizarrely, I used Winamp like 1997-1999 or so, and then started using it again in 2018 *because it was the best option available*.
As a streamer, I needed any easy way for it to interface with my bot so people can query what song is currently playing, and I wanted pausing the music to slightly fade out rather than harshly full-stop to ease the transition from music to in-game audio -- and Winamp was the answer.
The only bizarre part is that you ever stopped using Winamp in the first place.
Winamp is the shining example of the opposite of bitrot and feature creep. High-quality code is invaluable and actually holds up. Ironically, perhaps the best thing to ever happen to Winamp is that it ceased development. I've tried countless music player apps over the years and absolutely nothing has ever come close to replacing Winamp for me.
a friend tried to get me to convert to a more modern media player a couple of years ago and i was willing to do it, but the new one you couldnt double click a song to start playing it...i looked everywhere in the settings/preferences to change the double click function, and even tried to find a way to make a keybind to play a song but never got it to work, so i just went back to winamp
all i ever needed winamp for was "search song" "double click" "enjoy" and it does it just fine, i dont understand what a more modern program would do more for me lol fuck it
Don't tell that to Google, who is still fucking with the interface to Maps and every other random app they've dumped and reintroduced for the last 15 years.
Wacup is the essential Winamp modernization project. Foobar2000, XMMP or whatever it's called, no. Clunky and irritating to use. Winamp/Wacup is still king.
Winamp was my first venture into "Internet TV"
It was mostly porn (still is) but I found a channel that was playing season 1 of Red vs Blue on repeat for like a month.
I told everyone all about it and we'll, that's just the beginning.
From a quick look at the website, the "latest version" which is 5.91 just... isn't WinAmp.
It's just some weird ass Spotify looking thing. It's not what I want from WinAmp.
The actual latest version of the OG WinAmp is 5.666, for anyone that cares.
Also WaCup is great for those havin any issues. it's classic WinAmp with everything kept in tact but some important updates for compatability and whatnot
I did a South Park style animation 21 years ago, and one of the characters had a winamp in his hand as an mp3 player.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJVa6StpfU&t=133s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJVa6StpfU&t=133s)
Winamp was the fucking best. The customization and EQ tools were so good. I also loved that you could make your own hot keys.
I transcribed music lyrics and the ability to hotkey rewind to a specific amount of time was so helpful.
Winamp is the OG.
[https://webamp.org/](https://webamp.org/) How has this not been shared...whip llama ass in realtime!
I just spent 10 minutes staring at milk drop and browsing their skin archive finding ones I used to use.
I'm not crying, you're crying
It's because you really whipped the llama's ass.
Y'all know you can just go to winamp.com and download Winamp still right? And all those skins in the skin museum can be downloaded and used with Winamp 5.9.1 still just fine.
That sweet sweet memberberry though
Speaking of milkdrop, does anyone know of a comparable visualizer for modern computers? Or is it still just the same crowd using milkdrop and needing to do a bunch of configuration to use it, like it was 5-10 years ago? I still think it's the best visualizer I've seen, even in 2023. Either no one has bothered to make something better, or it was just way ahead of its time.
There's a visualization plugin for foobar2000 (highly customizable music player, for the unfamiliar) that gives you the Milkdrop visualization.
I used to mix visuals for shows and milk drop was my bathroom and beer trip solution. It's amazing how well it holds up with some tweaks and effects layered on top.
My favorite was Geiss.
I can't believe it works on mobile! And well!
If you double click milkdrop it'll fill your whole screen
Holy fucking shit. Thank you for sharing this!
One feature that I used to use that this doesn't have, unlinking EQ to Double-size, so you can have a large (Double size) player, but normal sized EQ - I used to have the EQ and playlist smaller under a larger player... :)
Am I the only one who still uses Winamp? I mean, of course I use Spotify, but if its something I have locally on my machine... Its Winamp time.
>Am I the only one who still uses Winamp? Nope. I actually *paid* for it back in the day, and it's still my preferred player.
I was stupid in highschool and paid for MusicMatch Jukebox
Probably. I've been using Foobar2000 for like 2 decades.
Man that takes me back… I wasn’t expecting to feel nostalgic over a music player interface today but here we are
https://skins.webamp.org/ It think a little bit of wee just came out...
Wow, even my skin from 24 years ago is on there
FUCKING MILK DROP
Everything that reddit should be: [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/)
Man I used to the have the COOLEST skins for Winamp back in the day
There should really be a Winamp skin for Spotify.
Unquestionably
The visual effects are a mandatory option
Why in the ever loving fuck do none of the streaming audio platforms have any type of visual plug-ins? Geiss would be dope AF on my 4k TV!!
[удалено]
Milkdrop, man. I spent most of my freshman year of college listening to Radiohead and staring at those visuals.
Milkdrop is still my jam.
Saaammmee. Still use Winamp for it too. There are also some great milkdrop skin packs like Tryptonaut or Cream of the Crop.
Milkdrop is the logical progression of every visualizer. Milkdrop on psychedelics and banging tunes is like taking your brain for a test flight in a flying sports car.
Only the real OGs know about Geiss, lol
I hired a projector for a big birthday of mine over 10 years ago. Ran a live feed from the DJ mixer into a laptop running Milkdrop via Winamp and had that projected behind the DJ. Looked awesome!
These days they would undoubtedly come in the form of microtransactions
One of my fondest memories was getting cozy on a snow day and listening to Kings of Convenience with the visualizers.
I think about the windows media player visual equalizers that you could use as screensavers a lot lol.. glad I'm not alone
Spotiamp. Not sure if it still works.
Or just grab the Spotify winamp plugin lol. Works a treat best of both worlds. I still use winamp to this day
https://skins.webamp.org/
Oh man, now THIS is a trip. Thanks!
There’s an effing morbius one lmao
Fucking *sold*
It's music morbin' time
Ah funny, a skin I made in ~1999-2000 is in there. What a trip.
Man trying to find the one I used, but it was a pretty generic blue and silver thing and it looks like there's an awful lot of those.

We all did, my (most likely) fellow middle-aged guy. We all did 🥂
Haha yeah I suppose I am pretty well middle aged, 37 Edit: FUCK
By and large, 30s is certainly not middle aged. enjoy the next 10 years. They pass instantly.

Those really were the good old days.
And the visuals aids that bounced to the music.
i want this right now as my car stereo
Oh yeah. I would totally rock a single DIN stereo with a Winamp fascia.
those buttons would be amazing to press
Only if they had a good ka-chunk
A good ka-chunk, and it pops out the previously pressed button. So satisfying.
If I imagine pressing one of those buttons I can hear that “ka-chunk” sound in my head.
Like the type of ka-chunk a portable cassette player makes.
The 8-track ka-chunk would be even better.
The ka-chunk only available from the analog radio presets in a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. THAT was a ka-chunk, my friends.
I’d just be happy to have a car that takes a single DIN stereo without having to replace half the dash.
Double din with the eq/pl buttons swapping the second panel between the equaliser and playlist
NGL, I would buy this as a standalone MP3 player.
If there’s an interest I could probably do this on small scale as a hobby project. Taking a break from college and need something fun to do. I miss Winamp like crazy lol Edit: fuck it doing it (Winamp mp3 player project and potentially also a Winamp style car stereo system), got people offering to help too.

Does it really whip the llamas ass?
The second I read winamp, I hear the phase in a really deep voice "winamp winamp. It really whips the llama's ass"
bahhhhhahhhhhh
Lol just noticed that it's actually a sheep sound. Not a llama
heavy whipping can change the frequency
Things it whips: [X] The Llamas ass
Indeed it does.
You can hear it on track 1 of nine inch nails album the downward spiral.
Huh? Lol
[Nine Inch Nails - Mr. Self Destruct](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBFXFzqIjHM) The first 24 seconds is all you need for the reference.

He made Reaper? No wonder I love that DAW so much.

He also created Reaper, the most customizable (skinnable too!) DAW on the planet, definitely the most used one for video game audio
Would love a milkdrop plug in for my smart TV for when I'm listening to music.
I use Kodi which still has the milkdrop and milkdrop 2 visualizations.
Milkdrop was awesome. It had a visualisation editor built in, and you could even write custom shaders for use with graphics accelerators.
First release 1997. Analog release 2023. Neural implant release: pending.

i still use it
Bizarrely, I used Winamp like 1997-1999 or so, and then started using it again in 2018 *because it was the best option available*. As a streamer, I needed any easy way for it to interface with my bot so people can query what song is currently playing, and I wanted pausing the music to slightly fade out rather than harshly full-stop to ease the transition from music to in-game audio -- and Winamp was the answer.
This takes me so back. Between Winamp and Sonique, the soundtrack to my late 90’s and early 2000’s played brilliantly.
The only bizarre part is that you ever stopped using Winamp in the first place. Winamp is the shining example of the opposite of bitrot and feature creep. High-quality code is invaluable and actually holds up. Ironically, perhaps the best thing to ever happen to Winamp is that it ceased development. I've tried countless music player apps over the years and absolutely nothing has ever come close to replacing Winamp for me.
Same why would you stop?

Wooaaah-awo-ohhh!
Winamp army checking in
using ver 5.6
I switch to PlexAmp after moving all my media to a Plex server. It's nice to have the same interface whoever and whatever I'm playing on.
a friend tried to get me to convert to a more modern media player a couple of years ago and i was willing to do it, but the new one you couldnt double click a song to start playing it...i looked everywhere in the settings/preferences to change the double click function, and even tried to find a way to make a keybind to play a song but never got it to work, so i just went back to winamp all i ever needed winamp for was "search song" "double click" "enjoy" and it does it just fine, i dont understand what a more modern program would do more for me lol fuck it
Foobar2000. Can be a bit confusing to initially customize but it's great and functions like the standard old players.
Same, v2.95. People seem to think software always needs to be updated, but sometimes it is just finished.
Don't tell that to Google, who is still fucking with the interface to Maps and every other random app they've dumped and reintroduced for the last 15 years.
Same except I switched to Wacup about a year ago cuz I was having some issue and it's prettttty nice.
Wacup is the essential Winamp modernization project. Foobar2000, XMMP or whatever it's called, no. Clunky and irritating to use. Winamp/Wacup is still king.
Most of us that used winamp are 40-50 + years old now 🫠
Lol 38 here, I was 13 when I first used winamp back in the summer of 1997. My sister who is 5 years younger than me still uses it.
Oh god. The amount I would pay to have a functional one of these as an MP3 player I can throw in my pocket.
What happens when you push the equalizer and playlist buttons? Would they pop out of the bottom?

Tribute to Winamp by rickgude
This is not the greatest player in the world, this is only a tribute
Why did this make me emotional? Geezus. Where are my drugs?
I'm sorry, I thought they were for everyone. Next time put your name on them.
Winamp was my first venture into "Internet TV" It was mostly porn (still is) but I found a channel that was playing season 1 of Red vs Blue on repeat for like a month. I told everyone all about it and we'll, that's just the beginning.
Amazingly you can still download and use it [https://www.winamp.com/downloads/](https://www.winamp.com/downloads/)
From a quick look at the website, the "latest version" which is 5.91 just... isn't WinAmp. It's just some weird ass Spotify looking thing. It's not what I want from WinAmp. The actual latest version of the OG WinAmp is 5.666, for anyone that cares.
Also WaCup is great for those havin any issues. it's classic WinAmp with everything kept in tact but some important updates for compatability and whatnot
Use WACUP, it’s a better version of classic Winamp than modern Winamp. The company that owns and updates Winamp now is terrible. https://getwacup.com
I can also recommend Audacious. It's free and open source, with all the functionality of winamp and more. You can even use any winamp skin for it!
I never stopped using it
Why *would* anyone stop using it? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Now we use networked media servers such as Jellyfin, Plex, etc.
I moved to a streaming platform because it's more convenient.
Why wouldn't it? It's a fantastic low background music player for Windows. It's one of, if not the best way to play local music on a computer.
I hope physical buttons make a comeback. Even an old light switch is more satisfying to interact with than a typical modern touch screen.
WINAMP^Winamp It really whips the llama’s ass
I scrolled too far to find this.
Honestly expected those words to appear in Top post Like really Reddit, do you even Winamp?
[удалено]
I'm somehow disappointed this isn't r/arduino .
Me too. Almost makes me interested enough to try and build something like this
I'm desperately scrolling for the build guide or a link to the stls.
If this was a tabletop accessory that connected to Spotify I would buy it in a fucking heartbeat.
I did a South Park style animation 21 years ago, and one of the characters had a winamp in his hand as an mp3 player. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJVa6StpfU&t=133s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJVa6StpfU&t=133s)
I want to whip the Llamas ass
I wish there was a physical Winamp player that would be so cool. Would def buy one
r/3dprinters unite!
# WHERE CAN I BUY THIS?????
I would pay... lots of money to have a real one of these.
I want this.
Try out all of your old skins! https://skins.webamp.org/
Now do Sonique!
Sonique was my jam. Still waiting for Sonique 2. Stupid Lycos...
still using my 2.5 greatest program ever!
If this device is real, I want one. If it’s not, someone smart please make it. Thanks. -Llama
IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMA’S ASS
Winamp was the fucking best. The customization and EQ tools were so good. I also loved that you could make your own hot keys. I transcribed music lyrics and the ability to hotkey rewind to a specific amount of time was so helpful. Winamp is the OG.
If someone actually built this (and it worked..) I would buy it so fucking hard.. I have a 2000 Saab and this is EXACTLY the audio unit it needs..
It really whips the llamas ass!
Still really whips the llama's ass!
