• Shoutcast?

    From SYS64738 to All on Monday, October 28, 2024 01:24:40
    Shoutcast is still a thing? I figured that it died when Winamp did. Winamp
    was one of my favorite MP3 players. :(

    That's awesome. Didn't they pull their services several years ago? I could
    have sworn that I tried to use it, and it was no longer supported or something
    of that nature.

    WinAMP did go away for a while, someone released a bogus version, and
    they came back with a new business model and mobile apps.

    version and everyone hates it. it says the author is winamp sa.

    the winamp app i had for android looked like the winamp windows program.

    Same here, I use old version on desktop and new on IOS. It just broke Apple Car integration recently which is annoying!

    ... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.
