This should be interesting...
btw I've been clearing dead files sometimes, otherwise I would have played some 1000's of times.

Toto!? Dude...

Unofficial AoE taunts?
-
They came off AoE Heaven or something, 26 - 100. Just exerpts of certain movies, T.V shows, etc. I put that there just so you would know that they "came from" AoE.
And yes, most people think my choice of music is weird, or they have no comment because the haven't the slightest clue what the songs are...
-
Too bad I just reformatted.
-
I don't have a single mp3 or otherwise on my computer. When I want to listen to music, I open a web radio. Saves me the trouble of wasting space for music and actually looking (or ripping) for music. :p
-
I'm sure the audiophiles will try to kill me but I tend to look on YouTube these days when I want to hear a certain track.

Youtube is an unbeatable source, yes. But I always check Dailymotion to see if the same video can be found there. For the sake of stereo sound.

On my MacBook, I use iTunes to play MP3s, XimpleMOD to play XM, MOD, S3M, IT and MO3 files, and QuickTime to play MIDIs. I use Audacity to compile bits of Freelancer soundtrack to make my own compilations.
On my family PCs, I use XMPlay to play everything and Audacity to record sound or music.
...I still want a media player that supports Mac OS X and works like XMPlay. :mad:
-
My work's network policy blocks all streaming (well, most streaming, a few sites seem to have slipped through the cracks), so web radio and Youtube are not options for me. They also don't allow you to install any personal software on your work computer, so... I have installed some portable versions of Firefox, Foobar2000, VLC, etc. on my iRiver H120, which I then plug into my USB port and use like an external hard-drive. No registry settings get changed, so there is no problem.
That also lets me play my music at work without "technically" copying it onto my work computer. Heh.

I'm pretty sure my version of winamp don't support this because I rarely ever upgrade it. Keep the bloat away plz and all that.
It's almost an all-purpose music player for me, but I have a yet older version of it for playing the tracks from Homeworld 1/2 because the plugin doesn't exist for better than 2.8something.
-
my problem is every few months i upgrade i usually purge the old media library and rebuild it. so my most and never/most played lists are only a month or two old at any given time. i dont think either list would fit into a reasonably smalll amount of space.
and please if you noobs are gonna start posting this stuff, use an external image storage service. i dont think we really need to load up the server's image folders with screenshots of winamp.

ngtm1r, try using XMPlay. By default, it plays almost any form of music file. It doesn't take up much disk space either.
I used to like Winamp a lot, but after it took five minutes to start up, I gave up and switched to XMPlay. If Winamp supported Mac OS X, I might give it a go again.

I prefer http://www.foobar2000.org/ myself. It's a no-frills music player that plays almost anything you throw at it. It is the exact opposite of bloat.
-
winamp is good if you dont install all the components. i install maybe a fifth of them and it usually is pretty fast.
-
If Winamp's taking five minutes to start up, something's gone horribly wrong on your install. It only takes a few seconds here, and my machine is anything but fast.
And I've never so much as touched the built-in Media Library (Dynamic Library plugin FTW), so I wouldn't know where to begin. I can almost guarantee that my most-played track would be either something of a classic hard rock nature or something composed by Yoko Kanno, though. :p

Do you have more than 248 MB RAM?

Oi! Kanno's awesome. Vision of Escaflowne in particular is memorable, especially the opening music.

Wouldn't help. Native .aifr support exists only in Relic games, and what I have is sufficent for everything else.

WHACK!!!

Why whack?

I use alsong.

Anyone know how to listen to (or at least convert to wav) ape files in Linux?
-

Yes, but not amazingly so; just 512. My family's computer is an ancient beast, has only 384MB, and yet manages to handle it reasonably quickly. If yours is really lower than that, I feel like you should just be grateful that you can play music on it in the first place. :p

When playing songs off the internet, you can usually find the file in temporary internet files. Copy it and rename to a valid format (works on radioblogclub, rename to .mp3....)

:lol:
That's why I use XMPlay; because it can play almost every audio file I have stashed away somewhere. Winamp works quite well on a computer with more than 256 MB RAM, though. Pity it doesn't support Mac OS X, otherwise I might use it. :rolleyes:
