Winamp

[the_short1]

did u install any aftermarket extensions to winamp?? **the one with the problems...


otherwise.... ur settings are off prob..

in control panel for windows..


go to multimedia... then select only use prefered devices for mic and sound card...
then no matter what... it will always use ur sound card ..
dont happen to me... but i could understand that the problem...

second... winamp is wicked for global hotkeys... i can get enough of them,....

so
also the Equilizer is wicked...

yea... 4 years ago... winamp REALLY sucked..
***hehehe./.. oldversion.com <<has the first winamp release... its soooo SAD..... but funny cuz its really old..

yea dan... u just unlucky..




Try winamp 5, bust out some cool music... have global hotkeys on..
have a wicked AVS visual **** there are some included with winamp... but winamp.com has THOUSANDS! and i garuntee enjoyment..*** if it works ... (wont for unlucky dan) PFFfff!!

also... winamp 5*** burn CDs.... RIP CDs <<<to mp3 format... ((need full version...)) but thats not a problem is it

also... winamp.com
TONS AND TONS of plugins.... so many...

below are features that can be done with plugins...

u can play GAMES, DIVx movies, have a remote control hooked up to a IR reciever or paralelle port.... and control it in winamp... skins by the thousands... , u can use ur mic, u can record .mp3 or wav files.... .. advanced sound plugins (more advanced equilizer and stuff like dat..)... use input from soundcard.... midi.... tons and tons of stuff.... too much to post at once...

so.... how dare u imply winamp sucks....!!!!
lets see WMP use a remote control
or play games

***rant for today...***

no i liked winamp also ... untill today --.-;
well now iv switched to sam2 (radio broadcaster) and it works fine after 2 day fixing lol.

[Dan]

ah my WMP can uses a remote conorl, alineware laptops come with a remote conortl that can be used to contorl WMP.

and i blive it to be posable for M$ to put games on it if they whonted since it dose have a browsers in it so a java aplet could be easly put in, but the qestion is why do i whont to play games in WMP? i whont my meaid player to: 1. run, 2. not crash, 3. play songs, and 4. play vid. so far winamp has done none of thous things for me, lol

[Paul]

Play games u say? I gotta check this out.

[recneps]

I give up on things made by others... its VERY easy to make a decent music/vid player in VB... you use the WMP controls ( yeah i said WMP) but it loads fast because it doesnt load all the crap in wmp... if anyone wants to see how fast my vid player loads, ill post it (its only 1 vid at a time tho, playlist coming soon!) i use it mostly for watching anime

whoever said vids were not working with WMP, apparently XviD doesnt work with WMP 9 if thats what you have.

[the_short1]

Winamp also has a browser... i dont think its JAVA.... it works great....


also...
winamp has:
winamp library...

easy to search for radio and live video streams...
also ... that is wehre the burning and ripping options are...


yea... GAMES...

just watch out for wild tangent...
its kinda SPYWARE..

spy sweeper by: webroot is MUCH better then adaware and finds and removes all that crap... so... if u do want to play a game by wild tangent... just run spy swepper and/ or ad-ware afta...

not all games for winamp are wild tanget... but lots are *** they are clearly noted...



GEISS makes the BESt visuals in my opinion ...

some skins to look for..
Car steroe systems..
some ppl make them to match their deck in their car.
so... search pioneer or w/e and u will prob find some nice stuff..

[Amailer]

Winamp has everythign ever other play has dude ;D nothing big.
Now all i use it for is watching anime on it, or if on my comp, vlc

[the_short1]

hahah... hmm... but,, winamp has more..
.
plus.... DAN.... not everyone has alienware so they can have that remote...



second.....


i dont see WMP being able to come apart??? can urs do that???




winamp can seperate into each section:
browser, main, playlist, EQ, vis


also... winamp can be always on top... i dont know if WMP can do that...
perfect for Ie... i have it always on top... and to the right of the 'help' menu item.... **YES ITS TAHT SMALL!!

note: to use winamp well... u MUSt look at the shortcuts section....

*** also... cool feature of winamp 5...
if ur comp is slow u can use the Old school skin (lookz like winamp 2) which is faster for me (i have pent 1 )


or... u can use the MODERN skin which lookz WICKEd... but is a little slower for me...


also... winamp is ultra small and compact... or if u dont like it small... u can press the Double size button and its much larger...



yay... somewehre to share my joy of winamp



also.... if winamp ever gets screwy... u compelte uninstall.. u restart comp... then download the install file <<<under 5MB! ).... and it installs fast...


WMP: huge file to download.... ... slow to install..... biatch if it fricks up **cuz its SOOO integrated into windows... ...... and u need to restart comp afta install **last time i had it...

[Dan]

well as it has been staed b4, winamp has everyhting every othre player dose man. WMP has skins too, and i dont think it is that big of a dl if you not using like 25k dialup modome, and it comes with windows too so ushely u only dl updates. so lets sopt arguing about this pointlessness, the java one made by sun beats them all since it is open sorce any how, lol.

[Raugrist]

The more you talk about it, the_short1, the more I become convinced of how stupid winamp is.

Winamp was created to play music.
Why the hell does it have a browser?
Why the hell does it play games?
Why are skins necessary? Do you spend your time listening to music while staring at the program?

Hacker Dan is, as usual, correct. Where can I get this java player?

[Dan]

the java one comes with the Java Media Framework, and is bascilk and example of what u can do with it. not a tone of options but it works and if it dose not u can redcode it, lol. dose have some trouble with some codecs tho.

i think it (JMStudio) should come with the frame work here: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html


but over all w/e runs on your comp and can do what u whont is best. I am just trying to say that progamers should at least try to make there progames protable, if the poleop who worked on winamp updated it more whould i have problems with it? may be may be not, but WMP is updated offten and easly (with windows update) so thats why i blive it to be better then winamp. the java one will probly work on most systems out there since it probly uses the JVM witch i belvie also makes it better then winamp b/c somting that works > then somting that dose not.

ya that just takes us off the anime topic.
Speaking of anime... if anyone got good anime
(eva, inu yasha, GTO err nvm about that.. it's already there) and a fast connection, are you willing to host a Live video streaming server?
Click Here to learn how to setup 1!

post the url here once you have set it up!

[the_short1]

errm....


i will resay this..

winamp CAN do that... but... only if u download those plugins..


winamp is very ADAPTABLE!......

by itself.... its basic.. SMALL..has what u need... not what u dont.... yea they update ,,, granted not as much as WMP... but they dont need it......
the size of WINAMP is much much smaller then WMP... and is much much FASTER.... therefore..


if u go to winamp.com ... then download a crap load of plugins... then it can do the remote control... mic.... mp3 export..... the games.... the visualizations.... **it only comes with a couple**and 2 skins..


yea... a good looking skin just lookz cooler..
for me i use either a car stereo one... or Mountain Dew <<has a MD popcan for the slider

[the_short1]

yea... amailer u want to have someone feed u the videos??? wouldn't it be faster to jsut download off kazaa lite..??? or have them send it to u?



edit:: heheh... of course... use winamp!!! cuz winamp 5 now has the ability to receive streaming video ...

OHhhhhh!!!....

good live streaming video stream for winamp: RantTV!!! its funny!!!

!!! someones gota tell that to templest...!!! he'll love it.... cuz u know him and ranting... he gets soooooo excited..

[Amailer]
