[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

Wait you can boof that

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

i still use Winamp. Plus Milkdrop is the best free visualizer. With an extra program(VB-Cable) you can play music through other apps and it will go through winamp and milkdrop. Spotify with Milkdrop is the shiiiiiit

Wild that Milkdrop has been the best for over 20 years. I'm old.

can you send me your presets? I used to have a huge collection of them but I lost it awhile ago.

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

im not sure what you mean. i just have the standard milkdrop installed, although at one point i didnt go through and put the ones i don't like into a different folder so they don't come up. is that what you mean?

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

the winamp skin for audacious in linux is very pleasing if anybody using linux hasn't found it

[-] geese_feces@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

I could make a hexbear skin for winamp if anyone would be interested in using it; i have experince making both the classic and modern skins.

Might be cool to hack in support for Plex and subsonic. It's not 1998 anymore, my mp3s aren't sitting in a folder on my desktop anymore. Would be fun to return to winamp and use it to stream music from my server though.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

is it bad that all of my music is on my desktop?

If it works for you then no!

But for me, I like using Plex or subsonic so that I can easily access my entire collection from my phone. I have my server setup with automated tooling to download new albums from artists I have monitored, torrent client is always on, I can search for and add music from my phone (as long as I connect to my VPN on the home network). All of this makes sense for my use case, especially considering that I already run the Plex server 24/7 so friends and family can stream whenever they want from it. None of it is on my desktop, so that the server doesn't grind to a halt when I'm gaming or visa-versa. Also I don't have to leave the gaming computer running all the time. And I have the server drives setup to pool their storage together, so adding new drives is relatively easy.

But obviously a setup like this doesn't make sense for everyone. I've spent way too much money on server equipment (mostly hard drives), but one could do a similar but scaled back version of this stuff with an SBC like the raspberry pi. As long as you have the time and will to get it setup.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

ah, makes sense. definitely can't afford a server haha

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

That's nice. I saw like andrew hulshult who made dusk soundtrack put up the album with the visualizer from winamp. That was neat. This is good to hear.

why does it say "Dec 16, 1" at the top when this seems to be a new announcement?
