I can’t answer yes or no to that as I’m not exactly sure of the function with Winamp that you’re talking about. I was never an advanced Winamp user. Yep, Winamp did everything I wanted it to do until it started causing problems here. I like like a lot of others here I’m sure was quite happy to pa

One of the things I loved about Winamp is the ability to punch in a number in a file and have the player go right to that spot! Can VLC do that? And if so, how is that done? Tom Kaufman -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io [mailto:all-audio@groups.io] On Behalf Of Dane Trethow

Well there is hope, VLC will keep getting better so there’s your hope, the more people who use the software then the more feedback the developers get. > On 6 Oct 2018, at 11:26 am, Tom Kaufman wrote: > > Yes...and that is what I am sorry about (that Winamp is not actively being > developed) gu

I wear hearing istruments myself so I guess it's a matter of horses for courses here. I run my instruments in "Flat" mode all the time when I'm at home though when I'm out I change them but that's another matter for another time perhaps. Some hearing instruments are better than others and - whilst

Point taken and that's fair enough. By the way there's another difference between VLC and Winamp, one is being actively developed and the other hasn't been for quite some time . -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Byron Stephens Sent: Saturday, 6 October 2018 10:33

Okay a correction here, I use VLC for playing video certainly as illustrated in the example I gave but VLC is indeed a media player and I use VLC to play all! My media here now, no more Itunes or anything else. Obviously I have to look for other alternatives to play MIDI files and these alternative

Dane! I beg to differ with you on one point. As my hearing gets worse I find the equalizer helpful. I heard of a pair of head-phones which actually performed a mini hearing test on you and adjusted the sound accordingly. Sadly they run off a phone ap so were useless to me. Also there were engin

Hello Dane and list: VLC may be a good player for video (haven't played with it as extensively as some) although I will say that I tried to play a video that I have in my collection (is one of a show that I was involved in) for whatever reason, VLC absolutely would not play it! Never was able to

For what its worth from me and thanks for starting this discussion. Its been a very long while since I used Winamp, why did I stop using it?

The VlC equalizer is certainly a lot less convenient to set and save settings than the Winamp one using a screen-reader. One can easily adopt any of the presets, but saving your own settings requires messing with the not-too-accessible filters within the preferences dialog box. Actually the whole d

Hi all you nice audiofiles, Well I use VLC myself, but I have an old fascion student, who prefers Winamp. I want to persuade him to do the switch. But how is it with information about timing lenghth of files in minutes and seconds and such. Can we easily get to that info also in VLC? Are there
