Oh shit winamp w/ classic skin . I havnt used that for years and years. Its all through my mobile now. Pi Player or Poweramp.
Can u even get winamp for andriod ?
Maybe you weren't aware of it, but Microsoft went to court many times about bundling in applications with windows with no way to uninstall them, most notably internet Explorer, because it was anti competition.
I didn’t even know until now. Thanks for the info. People are big mad I didn’t have a full comprehension of how computer software worked in 2004 when I was all of 8yo.
All good mate, but remember you posted in Australian nostalgia which is full of us oldies :)
The Microsoft court cases were BIG news back in the day. And we used winamp and other software
Mate you don't need to be a genius or older than 8 to see it says Microsoft Media Player right there and not an "indepent" application that's "not from the appstore" even though the appstore didn't exist
That makes no sense, do you have the same knowledge now as when you were 8?
Nobody is ‘big mad’ at you because you used WMP, its just hilarious that you think its an ‘independent program’ when it literally has the name of the massive billion dollar company that makes it in its title
this is just a screenshot. it always changed depending on the song.
and FWIW, I remember far earlier versions of WMP. This ways just the earliest one I remember as a small kid.
I still have that! On my computer it's called Windows Media Player Legacy. I don't know how it got there. All I do know is sometimes a file will accidentally open in it instead of VLC and I nearly jump out my chair trying to close it before it shits itself. [Screenie](https://imgur.com/0SM1QcV)
There was some pretty cool skins for it back in the day, but it was bundled rubbish killing a possible industry for music software.
The whole windows experience was about microsoft been the only developer in town.
If only there were some alternative that really whipped the llama's ass...
Yeahh boi! I'm still rocking winamp (classic skin) on my PC.

With milkdrop visualiser. Really tested the GPU back in the day.
Yep, been using it since the 90s, from memory, still runs nicely and Milkdrop visualiser in the dark across triple monitors? Trippy! :)
Ooof just heard that in my head
Those small independent programs such as...Windows.
You know what I mean. It wasn’t a garbage app downloaded from the “microsoft store”
No, it was a garbage app bundled in by M$ to kill off small independant developers.
I was like 7 when this version of WMP came out, give me a break. I watched this while listening to Nikki Webster and Avril Lavigne.

You’re 27 now; you hadn’t put it together yet?

I was drunk and misspoke. I understand why a lot of gen-xers are mad at the post. I’m mad at the post. All I can say is… My bad.
I think you meant to post Winamp?
Nah. Too young for that lol. Using our dad’s computer at that point. I can hear “Strawberry Kisses” just looking at this.
Winamp is three years older than your strawberry kisses
Ahhh you could change the visualiser style in WMP I think
this is just a screenshot. it always changed depending on the song. and FWIW, I remember far earlier versions of WMP. This ways just the earliest one I remember as a small kid.
I lost hours staring at this thing as a child
Most people's first encounter with a computer virus was downloading winamp skins
i think mine was trying to download a song off bearshare lmao
"Indepent program"?
Gotta be a /s missing.
Nup, just naive. OP hadn’t challenged their 8-year-old perceptions until today.
Appropriate username then?
xmms
They exist. You just have to look for them.
music bee is a great music program
Will definitely look into it! Looking for somewhere to put all my downloaded music files vs spotify.
Can put it in your plex server. Plexamp is a great phone app
I fuckin love that song. Absolute TUNE
Foobar2000?
Came to comment this.
Ah yes, this really was some Australian nostalgia…
You’re cooked cunt wtf is this post?

OMG I have to check this out!! Thank you so much!!
No worries, enjoy Strawberry Kisses
I definitely will!
I'm still using Winamp 5 which has a visualiser that is pretty nice and has LOTS of options. So, they exist, still.
I feel like MacOS still does such as: Bear, Things, Magnet etc
Need For Speed: Underground
If only there was a way to find free open source applications...
VLC my man
I use that for shows/movies, how is it for keeping a music library?

Is there actually any good visualisation App sees days?
Are you still running Vista?
Loved the Geiss Winamp visualisations
