Yeah. now this is kinda off topic too but have you noted how IE ain't
liked by JAWS either? So I switched to Chrome. Now in that vane that
says awwww man I love good old trusty IE though. Girrrrr I can't stand
some of the things Chrome does with Youtube. but oh wells I guess. Tough
love. For instance the vid right under the recommended heading in Chrome
don't get an add to watch later button. In trusty old Internet Explorer
all vids git an add to watch later button. In IE it respects you may
wana go back and watch another recommended vid from the origenal list.
Chrome Fire Fox and I'll bet ya Edge tottally dissrespectfull. Watch 1
vid long enough and when you go back the origenal list went bie bie. How
rood as Jar Jar Binks says.

For example, my Window Eyes screen reader is now defunct. I can still
use it, but it's getting more difficult with web pages now, certainly
now it is useless with Firefox. So I've moved on to JAWS 18. It works
better in numerous ways, and it's faster as well.
So when something stops working as well as something that's still
being developed, then I'm moving on.

All and good for you then but its not all and good for everything
though is it?
I’m not against Winamp at all and as I mentioned earlier I used the
software but even for me it became too bloated and I was left
wondering exactly what the aims of the developers of Winamp were, to
make something flashy or something that actually worked.
As I said earlier I was having trouble playing some content so I
decided at that point to “Move on”, no regrets whatever there.

There are a whole heap of different audio formats but that’s really
not the point.
As Windows evolves and changes that the software running on it has to
evolve with Windows.

Being kept up to date how? How many new audio formats have you heard
about in the last few years?
So what's to be kept up to date with these newer players? The user
interface? As several others have already pointed out, Winamp has an
excellent user interface. New audio formats that Winamp can't play?
Well, I've already asked that question.
So what's the urgent imperative for being kept up to date with these
players?

And here lies the point,, what new things we have in this discussion
say VLC and Windows Media player are better than what you had as
they’re being developed and deliberately being kept up to date, user
feedback is being evaluated with regards to these and future products.
So look at the subject line which talks about a new version for
Winamp, where is it?

You're right, some people don't like change.
But there's another alternative to either changing all the time or
staying behind. Change when what is new is significantly better
than what you have now. Change just for the sake of change is
pointless.

I’ve given this topic more thought and I think what it really boils
down to is that people don’t like change regardless how good or bad
something might be compared to another App, another method or
whatever so here’s the point, take onboard change or stay behind
and eventually stagnate.

Tom for those of us who have only kinda run across WinAmp. What
made it such a big thing with the blind? Maybe I didn't give it
much a chance. But actually the 1 I used felt odd. But I only
tried it. But seeing it doesn't have SRS Wow like Media Player
does, I don't use it much. Meh I've tried it for streaming but
that's about all. I do know lots of people love WinAmp. I have
homies that do.

Dane,
Winamp is the most accessible media player for the blind. It may be
old, but it is highly functional. I am listening to online radio
with
it as I type this message. Braille slates are more than 80 years
old
but they are still used because they are useful. I also own and
use a
minidisc recorder. It is somewhat ancient, but it remains highly
effective for spoken word recording.

By Mayank Parmar - September 17, 2018 Winamp for Windows
Remember
Winamp?
The popular media player for Windows is expected to make
a
comeback at some point. Winamp was launched by independent
developers
back
in 1997 and it grew quickly popular with over 3 million
downloads in a
short
span of time. In a couple of years, Winamp became one of the
most
downloaded Windows applications. The app was sold to AOL in
1999 for
$80
million but it later acquired by Radionomy in 2014.
Radionomy, the
current
developers of famous Winamp promised that the app will
receive a new
update with several new features. A while ago, the developers
published
release notes of an update but no downloadable package was
available
for
users to try out. Winamp developers promised major updates
ever since
it
took over the company and we are
still
waiting for that day. It's an old and outdated app but it's
still being
used by millions of
users.
A new version of Winamp, which was last developed on October
26, 2016,
has
leaked online. Winamp 5.8 has been published by an unknown
source and
it's
not from the official developers. It's also worth noting that
VirusTotal
scan generates two different
warnings
for the app, so we are not including the link to unreleased
Winamp
update
in
this article. Winamp works fine on Windows 10 The Winamp 5.8
comes with
several new features and improvements including support for
Windows 8.1
and Windows 10. It is, however, worth noting that public and
stable
version of the app
works
smoothly on Windows 10, but Winamp 5.8 is supposed to address
compatibility
issues with Windows 10. As noted above, this release of
Winamp comes
with
several other improvements. For example, there's a dedicated
setting
that
lets you
disable
Winamp's video support and the company has also fixed some
bugs to
improve
the overall performance of the player. The current owner hasn't
officially
announced any updates for the app but
as
the beta has just leaked out, there's a chance that an official
statement
will be released soon. It's also possible that the developers
are
internally
testing a new and improved version of the app with better
support for
Windows 10. At this point, it's not yet known whether a new
Winamp
release
is planned
or
not. We are waiting for additional details from the
developers and we
will
update this article if and when a statement is available.
********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind
will leave
the
rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
