I use rhythmbox currently, but the truth is. All music players for linux are lacking. In fact most music players for every platform are lacking. The best media player I have ever used was winamp. And xmms is not an entire clone. I want a media player tha ports over the winamp library. That is the best program ever. So if anyone happens to have the source code for the winamp library(like say a certain ex-nullsoft president :whistle: ).....

Winamp runs on Crossover. Not perfectly, but almost.

Run synaptic, and make sure you have all the Universal repositories added. I think amarok is up there, but you should add KDE base or KDE Core to make sure you have everything you need it to run.

Actually, you can install all of KDE, and even boot into it, but somehow, that just seems kinda wrong. :laugh:

but people use foobar because of performance, so running it in wine kinda defeats the purpose.

Why? It's not noticably slower through wine, nor does it take noticably more memory or cpu cycles than it does on windows.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
