NAPSTER Still Exists?! – Where Are They Now

What happened to RealPlayer, WinAmp, and Napster?

[IamKDog]

End of 2019 and Winamp is still my main audio player

[MihzvolWuriar]

I'm one of those 30m Winamp users today, I could never stop using it, no other player ever felt the same, plus, I got all my special keys memorized, can't live without those.

Napster is the e-mule of the North America.
•someone remembers LimeWire and Ares?

[imJGott]

I’m surprised Linus never mentioned that Winamp had shoutcast where people would stream music and do what is known today as podcast.

Oh god, this is where they start making me feel old

[Yankee-_-DOODLE]

Napster: exists

Lars Ulrich: imma stop ya right there

Some day in the future, someone will make a video titled
"Where is Linus Sebastian now"

[silentdebugger]

The mentality for the last decade of software development seems to be to replace actual useful features with pointless ones and shiny UI, which is the main reason I still use Winamp

I loved Winamp so much. I remember internet DJing for small radio stations on it in the early 2000's.

Winamp Winamp Winamp....

Thanks bcool111 for the correction

I was involuntarily shaking my heads when Linus was talking about winamp skins. Damn those skins were good!

[Arunscape]

it really whips the llama's ass


I miss that player...

[SlainByTheWire]

I miss the old internet, I don't miss the speed or the hardware, but the infancy.

[TexasTimelapse]

Real Player was always the first thing I uninstalled when cleaning up people's computers.

Using Winamp for 19 years continuously as the main player for music+shoutcast streaming..
It never fails..

"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.

[FlyboyHelosim]

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.

[deadnightwarrior]

I started using Winamp around 18 years ago and it's STILL my one and only audio player. No other player has ever come close to match Winamp's reliability and ridiculous ease of use.
It's also one of the very few programs I purchased a license for, even if I had no real use for it but because I just wanted to say "thank you" to the developers.
Winamp FTW!

[neondemon]

I've been using WinAmp exclusively for the last 15 years. Literally no reason to change it for another program. It's still king.
