"winamp skins where a thing long before csgo skins" i had to spill on my screen. yes we all know to browse winamp skins for hours and maybe change to something else.
I used to use WinAmp all the time when I was younger. It was the only media player that I knew of with a built-in pre-amp, which made listening to low-quality MP3s of that era more enjoyable due to being able to boost their volume significantly. Also it was the only media player that I knew of that could play Unreal Tournament music files outside of the game which were in Scream Tracker format.
That "real reaction" of you when "The Pirate Bay" came into the scene, was the definition of being politically correct and being one of regular savvy people at the same time. Praises and kudos for that one :-)

Fun fact: the installer software that nullsoft made to install Winamp, NSIS, is still a quite popular open source install tool for many windows applications.
MrStarTraveler yes. I use it to play everything and don’t associate it with any file types so my playlist never gets messed up. If I want to add a file to It, just drag & drop to playlist or right click and add to playlist
I'm also still using winamp 5.0. I love the global hotkeys and I haven't found any programs that have the same functionality. Other programs have hotkeys, but they only seem to work while that program is the active window. Winamp on the other hand I can pause/play/skip songs, etc., all without having to alt tab out of whatever I'm doing. Is very nice.

@@hazelv998 He is the drummer for Metallica, and in the early 2000 he sued Napster for sharing their music for free. He still gets alot of hate because of it. Which is kinda sad.
In my winamp list have: Slipknot, Scooter, ACDC, Pendulum, Dusty Springfield, Kool and the gang, Prodigy, Apollo 440, CKY, DUB FX, Drowning Pool, and some hungarian band... AAAAAnd sometimes i listen classical music, jazz and swing as well. :D
I never had that happen. Though there was a point where the MPAA was pushing fake mp3 files that would be full of garbage audio. This happened once napster had become a dumpster fire.
I still use Winamp, as a home recording artist it's a god send for setting up Metadata files, also an excellent off line music player extremely simple to use.
Try audacious, its an open source clone, you can even install the classic winamp skin and make it look identical (or you can use the simpler GTK+ interface too). Its up to date, supports everything and works on linux and windows too.
I just tried looking for the classic sking and no luck. i was able get one working perfect but its a bit more complicated than just downloading a skin so Ill leave mine here in case you want to try. drive.google.com/file/d/1iLXyC37_WgM8Pjf3-UVBI0mY4jyh8fT9/view?usp=sharing
I still use winamp but for a reason NOT mentioned in the video above: its support for third party plugins that expand immensely its functionality, such as making it compatible with tracker music or even native sound files from old video game consoles. I can listen to a soundtrack of my fave super nintendo games in a file weighing a measly few kilobytes with no loss in sound quality whatsoever. Standalone players exist for various old systems audio but winamp + a simple to install plugin package from overclocked remix lets me listen to music from all my fave games old an new, within the same player, no matter what system the audio is from.
Oh god... the memories. RealPlayer was sooo bad, I remember it crashing a ton but I kept using it because it looked cool for some time but somehow I used everyday until I found out about Winamp. Winamp is probably still my favorite out of the box player because of the interface but I'm big for visuals so I use WMP or my own build of Dopamine
@@nicoletelovejoy5565 I have but to be honest I didn't really tweak it, didn't know you could do that. I may give it another try though I don't have any problems with Dopamine, maybe just the launch time

Personally downloaded Winamp around 3-4 years ago thinking it was maybe made in the late 2000's... never knew it was made in 1997... Crazy. Still use it btw
LOL. I remember my dad bought a CD burner for an old PC in the early 2000s and it came with a copy of Nero. I recently found it a few months ago and tried to use it. It installed just fine, but since it was meant for very old systems, it couldn't detect my SATA DVD/CD burner.
Been using Winamp since 90's and still using Winamp to this day for playing music on pc, its soo customisable with tonnes of plugins and visuals VLC for movies.
Hotline was the best peer-to-peer software. Users had huge libraries of music available, but also software, movies, games, etc. It had a web-based, ftp-database search feature that made it more user-friendly to search. It was a lot more difficult to track, and didn't really have ads. It predated Napster, Kazaa, and the other peer-to-peer software form the time. I haven't pirated a piece of software in over 25 years, but I do miss messing around in the FTP servers looking for cool shit.
My first PC was too slow to decode an mp3 on Winamp.. the audio was very choppy lol. This was really depressing as that mp3 took over an hour to download

Winamp forever ✌️
Still using it daily, best one out there.
Wow, wasn't seeing any shit about Lars Ulrich here lol
Thought the same
Same bruh
Who is he?
@@hazelv998 He is the drummer for Metallica, and in the early 2000 he sued Napster for sharing their music for free. He still gets alot of hate because of it. Which is kinda sad.
I still use Winamp to this day. It has never failed me.
I use Notepad for writing stuff. It has never failed me either.
2:19 THAT'S SUCH A WEIRD MIX
Slipknot and John Denver
lmao
LMAO
In my winamp list have: Slipknot, Scooter, ACDC, Pendulum, Dusty Springfield, Kool and the gang, Prodigy, Apollo 440, CKY, DUB FX, Drowning Pool, and some hungarian band...
AAAAAnd sometimes i listen classical music, jazz and swing as well. :D
@ wow. Scooter. I remember first hearing them on the Mortal Kombat annihilation soundtrack. Terrible movie, good soundtrack.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRREEE
I remember Winamp. Used it a lot as a kid, then I found Foobar2000 and never went back to Winamp.
Still using winamp here, still the OG skin :D
4:24 not to mention “free viruses” as well.
Limewire was way worse
KaZaa downloading porn and music as exe files at 56k. Good times.
It's all fun and games until you download RickAstleyNeverGonnaGiveYouUp.mp3.exe
I never had that happen. Though there was a point where the MPAA was pushing fake mp3 files that would be full of garbage audio. This happened once napster had become a dumpster fire.
@ 5:40 Linus's shock at the pirate bay rolling in.
2:17 Ah, i can see you're a man of culture as well
Undetected, unexpected for sure.
PTS Solairee very true
I still use Winamp, as a home recording artist it's a god send for setting up Metadata files, also an excellent off line music player extremely simple to use.
Try audacious, its an open source clone, you can even install the classic winamp skin and make it look identical (or you can use the simpler GTK+ interface too). Its up to date, supports everything and works on linux and windows too.
@@laharl2k Cheers, hadn't heard of that one, will check it out, thanks :)
I just tried looking for the classic sking and no luck. i was able get one working perfect but its a bit more complicated than just downloading a skin so Ill leave mine here in case you want to try.

I still use winamp but for a reason NOT mentioned in the video above: its support for third party plugins that expand immensely its functionality, such as making it compatible with tracker music or even native sound files from old video game consoles. I can listen to a soundtrack of my fave super nintendo games in a file weighing a measly few kilobytes with no loss in sound quality whatsoever. Standalone players exist for various old systems audio but winamp + a simple to install plugin package from overclocked remix lets me listen to music from all my fave games old an new, within the same player, no matter what system the audio is from.
Oh god... the memories. RealPlayer was sooo bad, I remember it crashing a ton but I kept using it because it looked cool for some time but somehow I used everyday until I found out about Winamp. Winamp is probably still my favorite out of the box player because of the interface but I'm big for visuals so I use WMP or my own build of Dopamine
Eriml Have you ever tried MusicBee?
It's insanely customize able so you could make it *really* pretty!
@@nicoletelovejoy5565 I have but to be honest I didn't really tweak it, didn't know you could do that. I may give it another try though I don't have any problems with Dopamine, maybe just the launch time
@@ErimlRGG i used to love winamp, but since they shut down musicbee has been my favorite, i even redownloaded the new winamp but just didn't like it as much as musicbee
@@voltare2amstereo OMG! I forgot about that. Best visualizer every, I need a Wallpaper Engine version right now
Linus should do ASMR. His smooth and beautiful voice could whisper us all to nirvana.
Shhhhh! Don't give him any ideas or else he'll do it.
gimme
So nasally, I've actually heard that the best way to be productive is to listen to something that you don't really like *listening* to, thus, this would probably be a great idea for work productivity if he did this.
Will it be called Linus asmr tips or Linus asmr or asmrquikies asmrlinked
This a prank or are the doctors still figuring you out?
Personally downloaded Winamp around 3-4 years ago thinking it was maybe made in the late 2000's... never knew it was made in 1997...
Crazy.
Still use it btw
Winamp is still a phenomenal music player. I highly recommend it.
Try audacious, its like a open source clone but its still maintained and up to date and works both in linux and windows (and macosx if you use that)
I've got to say that Realplayer was a big par ***buffering***
Odd that I only see Winamp comments and not Napster. They have a really nice service from what I've heard!
is weird how much of that tech was my daily life
now i can barely remember it,
but certainly i don't miss it
nero everyone?
Nero, still remember it
oh my god i think nero express was the most used program on my computer lol but haven't used it in years, crazy
eMule, Limewire, Internet Explorer, Windows 98, McAfee, MS Paint
LOL. I remember my dad bought a CD burner for an old PC in the early 2000s and it came with a copy of Nero. I recently found it a few months ago and tried to use it. It installed just fine, but since it was meant for very old systems, it couldn't detect my SATA DVD/CD burner.
NERO BURNING ROM!
Oh yeah, I remember burning CDs using Napster back in the late 90s.
I still do this to use my Sony diskman that can read MP3 files recorded on the CD-R
Been using Winamp since 90's and still using Winamp to this day for playing music on pc, its soo customisable with tonnes of plugins and visuals
VLC for movies.
I still use foobar2000! I haven’t found anything better so far in 2019.
There is nothing better.
Try darude sandstorm
Try Winamp.
I wanted to write the same. No streaming app has all those features
Foobar is the best.
2:16 Someone has great taste in music XD
Yep lol
Hotline was the best peer-to-peer software. Users had huge libraries of music available, but also software, movies, games, etc. It had a web-based, ftp-database search feature that made it more user-friendly to search. It was a lot more difficult to track, and didn't really have ads. It predated Napster, Kazaa, and the other peer-to-peer software form the time.
I haven't pirated a piece of software in over 25 years, but I do miss messing around in the FTP servers looking for cool shit.
It's 2019 and I'm still using Winamp =)
Yep, same here. Love it.
Join the club because I'm using Winamp ad my default audio player!
MediaMonkey is so much better
Hello!
As long as the mp3 format stil exists and highly popular, then Winamp is a good choice!!
I'm still using Winamp to this day
I tried foobar but it doesn't sync my folders when I add new stuff only the first time i select it.
but what are the benefits ? ..why? ...
My first PC was too slow to decode an mp3 on Winamp.. the audio was very choppy lol. This was really depressing as that mp3 took over an hour to download
Empires rise and fall, it’s part of society moving forward.
