if all you have to complain about is it's lack of cd ripping you have problems.

what's the point to paying??  are they using the fruenhoffer codec or something?  can't they just use a free codec, and make it free still?

No, because the MP3 file format is still under a patent. Even though there are free encoders out there (e.g. LAME) it still costs money if you want to distribute it with your software legally.

anyone read the stuff about nullsoft tracking installs?  i dont know for a fact that this is true... but it's speculated... doesnt conern anyone?
We'll see what ZoneAlarm has to say about that. Surely, if Winamp doesn't connect to the Internet, then Nullsoft can't track it. :unsure:

:wacko: wtf, yes it will, you just won't be able to burn or rip without purchasing it, good god. Atleast read before flipping out. Don't make me get the straight jacket.

Who uses winamp to burn or rip anyways? only n00bs.

not true.

LAME is totally free and can be legally distributed without any problems.

they are charging for these "extra" features, which makes it halfassed player.

i'm not saying i want those features or they will be usefull to me

but the fact that they are started to do this SUCKS BIG TIME.

it means that if not enough people will be registering they will begin to put different nags into winamp so annoy people so they would reg.

seethru, educate your stupid and know better who you are talking to, or i'll open a can of whoopass on you beyond anything you ever experienced before

Why don't you go read up on your patent laws.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
