was a heckuva player. The article talks about back when we used MP3s to play music like thats ancient. Now I obviously remember when we didnt even have mp3’s and its whatever came before that. CD’s, casette, vinyl etc.
But for me.. the most amazing thing about Winamp is it was the player we used when we … for want of a better word, discovered mp3’s. Started ripping our hundreds of songs from CD to mp3, and were able to make playlists with hundreds of songs. We’d share mp3’s… legally I assure you. Massively increasing our music collection. That was a game changer. And Winamp was the visual of that time.
We had PC’s dragged outside, hooked up to speakers, running Winamp at parties. People would choose their songs at the party using Winamp. Outside, in the rain.
now thats nostalgia

Good times. I feel a million years old about now.
