An AMA with the kid whose dad got him a custom winamp skin would be neat.

what a great article
Really enjoyed the ride, very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I miss foobar2k
Did it go somewhere?
Nope, it's still great on Windows. Perhaps they went to Linux since it's still Windows-only.
They probably miss it cause they don't use it anymore. Streaming music is too convenient. Only reason why I still have a collection or FLACs and MP3s is cause I'm a DJ. Most people just stream. Even audiophiles have several lossless streaming options these days.
exactly at one point I had a several terabyte raid 5 array that I had been collecting since napster through the LAN iTunes sharing thing through torrents but I don't even know where those drives are, let alone a mobo/desktop that I can plug it into. at least they're sata not pata/ide. I see videos freaking out about how weird ipod shuffles were and I'm like I loved my shuffle and click wheel and video one
but honestly as much as I lament my "losses" this new era with connected devices everywhere and an endless explosion of high quality new content is amazing. even if I chose to only listen to new music 24/7 I could never even scratch the surface of all the new stuff coming out these days in every language in every genre accessible for free to everyone with a phone. it seems silly to think about the days when Metallica sued napster over 20$ cds (although the south park episode was great) now artists are begging for people to hover 2 seconds over free tik tok clips of their songs
Post the Flintstones image, you coward!
This is like finding digital time capsules. Very interesting.
If you want to see the Flintstones R34 image you have to the crack the file yourself.
This is a truly fantastic story. It reminds me of why the Internet is cool, if you dig deep enough, there's always treasure to be found.
That's really cool
