I miss foobar2k
Did it go somewhere?
Nope, it's still great on Windows. Perhaps they went to Linux since it's still Windows-only.
They probably miss it cause they don't use it anymore. Streaming music is too convenient. Only reason why I still have a collection or FLACs and MP3s is cause I'm a DJ. Most people just stream. Even audiophiles have several lossless streaming options these days.
exactly at one point I had a several terabyte raid 5 array that I had been collecting since napster through the LAN iTunes sharing thing through torrents but I don't even know where those drives are, let alone a mobo/desktop that I can plug it into. at least they're sata not pata/ide. I see videos freaking out about how weird ipod shuffles were and I'm like I loved my shuffle and click wheel and video one
but honestly as much as I lament my "losses" this new era with connected devices everywhere and an endless explosion of high quality new content is amazing. even if I chose to only listen to new music 24/7 I could never even scratch the surface of all the new stuff coming out these days in every language in every genre accessible for free to everyone with a phone. it seems silly to think about the days when Metallica sued napster over 20$ cds (although the south park episode was great) now artists are begging for people to hover 2 seconds over free tik tok clips of their songs
