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. On 10/11/2018 10:06 PM, Evan Reese wrote:Nope, it's not all and good for everything. 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.

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.On 12 Oct 2018, at 10:01 am, Evan Reese <[email protected]> wrote: Well sure, when a new version of Windows comes out that Winamp will not run under, then absolutely, I'll find another player.

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?

So look at the subject line which talks about a new version for Winamp, where is it?On 12 Oct 2018, at 8:10 am, Evan Reese <[email protected]> wrote: You're right, some people don't like change.

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.

The popular media player for Windows is expected to makeacomeback at some point. Winamp was launched by independent developers back in 1997 and it grew quickly popular with over 3 million downloads in ashortspan 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 arestillwaiting for that day. It's an old and outdated app but it's still being used by millions ofusers.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 differentwarningsfor the app, so we are not including the link to unreleased Winamp updateinthis 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 appworkssmoothly on Windows 10, but Winamp 5.8 is supposed to addresscompatibilityissues with Windows 10. As noted above, this release of Winamp comes with several other improvements. For example, there's a dedicated setting that lets youdisableWinamp'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 butasthe beta has just leaked out, there's a chance that an official statement will be released soon. It's also possible that the developers areinternallytesting 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 plannedornot. 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.( https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link &utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=icon ) Virus-free. www.avast.com ( https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link &utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=link ) ( #DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2 )
