I am kind of infatuated with QCD. The various flavors of the Aluminum Ally skin (esp. Toxic Mini and Cryogenic Mini) and the BBX Mercury Micro skin are FANTASTIC.

So sleek and sterile...

oooooh, that's nice.

Also, Chaki, I use 2.9 too! Although someone told me that if you use v5 with the old skin that it's just as fast.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 21:49 (nineteen years ago) link

nah dude stick with 2.9 seriously.

Aside from some people who design skins who don't know their ass from their heads, whats wrong with the 'classic' Winamp design?

Tabs being placed at the bottom of the window and what else?

(The only thing I've ever hated is the random button).

Most people have awful setups.

That's because most people have no taste.

I use XMMS. I have no idea what the theme I use is called, but I like to think it looks pretty good:

(I opened XMMS specially to take screenshots for this thread, and that was the section of the playlist that randomly came up. Clearly, it could tell what I wanted it for.)

Frankly, I can't see what's wrong with placing tabs at the bottom of a dialog.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 27 January 2005 21:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, my point was one of the tabs was for theming. who the fuck wants a tab dedicated to theming in the middle of the main gui of their mp3 player

You guys are posting the worst winamp skins. There are literally thousands of them. I like a lot of the old stereo equipment ones with analog meters etc.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, I use the classic one anyway.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:03 (nineteen years ago) link

are you a ricer?

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:04 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know what that means. I eat rice sometimes. My dad eats it all the time.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:05 (nineteen years ago) link

The Equalizer/Colour Theme/Options are on a secondary panel tabbed as 'Config.' Their also on the menu for 'Options' from the main window.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a BBX Mercury skin for WinAmp.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I looked up "ricer." No, I tend to drive unmodified german sedans. However, I do sort of hot-rod my PC, but only under the hood. I'm not really into all those garish cases with neon and windows etc.

You guys are posting the worst winamp skins. There are literally thousands of them.

but -- and I think this is jon's point -- most of them are quite bad, and having thousands of options does not improve this. "Freedom of Choice," you know, like Devo said. Eventually you just get tired of browsing skins and pick something that's terrible looking.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:18 (nineteen years ago) link

That's completely illogical. Why wouldn't anyone just pick one that they like and use it?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

There are hundreds of really good ones too.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, why ask me if I'm a ricer?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Does anyone have the ipod plug-in for winamp working?

― 57 7th (calstars), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

That's completely illogical.

Well, the thing is, the skinning is considered a big fun feature, rather than a one-time choice. Like, I think there are people who sit around skinning thier winamp player all day, and it's just stupid, but it's one of the big features of winamp, dontcha know. The skin it somes with basically forces you to modify it, it's so damn ugly. So you go to the website and are immediately overwhelmed by thousands and thousands of choices, none of which look all that great...

my powerpuff girls skin was completely awesome

ITunes uses my scrotal hair for dental floss. WinAmp 5 (classic skin) is about a gabillion factors of ten better as an mp3 *player*, for a number of reasons (MAD decoder, anyone?). Still, I use Anapod for my Ipodding needs, rather than the WinAmp Ipod plugin. I agree that the WinAmp disk library is not user-friendly, but it's lightyears better than ITunes for netradio and video, IMHO.

I used the WinAmp Ipod plugin for a while, but I found it to be a bit sluggish and not so great for ID3 tag editing. EphPod's an improvement, seeing as how it's free and all, but if you're looking for the real deal for Windoze AnaPod is the way.

― J (Jay), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Literally no one does that besides people who make skins, Kenan.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

well, and teenagers. but yeah, i'm probably overstating the problem.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the classic skin is fine/functional. I've tried better looking ones, but I keep reverting to the old one.

Jon, "ricer?"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, there must be a way to put that idea without the semi-ethnic slur.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:42 (nineteen years ago) link

or hell, just straight-out ethnic slur. It's like "beaner," innit?

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I have had several skins I thought were pretty! Like, if you browse by user rating, they are mostly non-ugly. It is not that hard.

Drivers of rice burners are known as "ricers" or "rice boys". These terms are often used as a pejorative or ethnic slur.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you really think I meant it that way?

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:54 (nineteen years ago) link

No, that would've been pretty out of the blue. It was just funny that your "I wasn't using an ethnic slur!" link was "hello, I am an ethnic slur."

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:56 (nineteen years ago) link

― Amazing Randy (TEH REAL) (ex machina), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I assumed that it wouldn't say that it was a slur and jsut get at the real meaning behind the word.

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Jon, "DUMB FUCK?"

Also, so you're asking me if I am a car?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

It's a fair question, Spencer, you're pretty sleek.

I'm totally shopping for a new PC, but have to pay extra to get a case that's *not* all alien looking.
