To the extent possible, I try to use applications that are natively cross-platform between Windows and Linux. I’m not entirely happy with either, but they seem to get the job done. )Īs for what I use now, it’s mostly VLC for audio and SMPlayer for video. My pet llama didn’t seem to like it much, though. I remember Winamp! Even *fondly*, with the right skin.
#WINAMP SKINS 2021 WINDOWS 10#
This goes to show that new isn’t always better, but when Microsoft works hard with hardware developers to make sure everyone is forced to use their garbage Windows 10 and the only other option being Linux, then they’ve won.
#WINAMP SKINS 2021 INSTALL#
There is also the question “Has anything superior been developed since?” (concerning both Winamp and the games I used as example), the fact that these are still being used en masse, only means that nothing better exists.Ī good example is Windows 10 – people are forced to use it despite the piece of garbage it is, because if they have new hardware, they can’t install Windows 7 anymore. It’s a lot like old classic games like Age of Empires II or Heroes of Might and Magic III – if you look on Twitch every evening, these games get like 6k – 8k viewers and are massively played and supported by large modding and competitive communities… just like Winamp. Well, what else do you suggest they should use? The only two decent alternatives are foobar2000 and AIMP, everything else is bloatware trash.Īlso if Winamp works why should people not use it? It has nostalgia value too.
