>>109050413You are confused. Traditional version of Winamp still works great, and was updated in 2023: https://forums.winamp.com/forum/winamp/winamp-discussion/4615655-winamp-5-9-2-released WACUP is nice, but there's no point lying about the OG.

Not a single software itt doesn't have an identical Linux counterpart.
>>109053484There isn't a single audio player outside of foobar2000 that also includes AccurateRip with the ability to check files with AR or rip them securely with AR.
MPC-HC+madvrI miss it so much, mpv is pretty much the only substitute for it on linux, but it just isn't remotely good enough, even when configured, its just miserable software, made by miserable people, for miserable people
>>109053734in what way is that relevant in 2026
>>109054423CDs are still a thing and people that want bit identical rips exist. You do realize that people exist that aren't you, right?
>>109050279Best fucking thing in the world for cropping images
>>109054423non-sequitur. >>109053484 is clearly wrong as there isn't a single Linux audio player that does what foobar2000 can.
>>109053734Fair, I don't even know what that is and would say ripping CDs is pretty easy. But foobar also works perfectly under wine.
>>109054701AccurateRip is basically 2 things. The first is a database of drive offsets so that when you rip a CD, you aren't missing samples. The second is a database of CDs & their songs so each audio file you rip is checked against it. If they don't match, the track isn't an exact bit copy from the CD. It's basically only for those who are autistic about CD ripping like me. Spoon, the creator, also created dBpoweramp, which is the best CD ripper on the market. He has other software, with PerfectTunes being notable as it can check songs against AccurateRip and has a cover art search function which comes in handy.
itt: software that runs perfectly fine on linux through wine or proton
>>109050259that's just torrent no one seeds
windirstat
office 2010 felt great to use
>>109054880Find me a way to run mpc-hc+madvr through wine/proton, as far as I know it isn't possible since it relies on a lot of windows modules that simply do not have a wine equivalent yet
>>109050305KEK
>>109054887get wiztreetrust me on this
>>109050259PowerToys with the Command Pallette widget. That shit should completely replace Search at this point
>>109050259Microsoft Windows is absolute trash, but I do love Vegas Pro.
>>109050300>>109050413>>109051760Maybe use foobar2000 then. Afaik it was done by ex winamp dev. No idea what story behind it is. But it sounds like he was mocking winamp brand owners with the name.

>>109053995>mpv>miserable software, made by miserable people, for miserable peopleBest description. But they will never admit.>>109055019Nah, it was already bloat, 2007 is it. Would say 2003, but format it uses is probably deprecated and might not even open on modern winblows. But software was good for the time, back when microsoft was not microslop yet.
>>109055874Based Office 2007, it still lives in my virtual machine along with Vegas and Photoshop CS6 has the trifecta of good software.
>>109055755Sony Sound Forge is good too.

>>109055849>usable with winBy this logic, no software is bound to a OS because you can just run any OS in a VM.
>>109050259yeah there is plenty it's called VIDEO GAMES, I've been re-playing picrel every year since 2002.
>>109055849>Usable with wineSo what, retard? That has nothing to do with the thread topic
>>109055823Have you seen what modern winamp looks like? Only one defending it is the people hosting itFoobar is great I agree. I am on linux now though so i use other things.
Scirra Construct ClassicHad a lot of fun making games on it as a kid. Exports directly to EXE. Modern constructs/gdevelop can't compare
>>109050259>it flashes linux

>>109058477which distro? Malware infected arch? Snap infected ubuntu? Outdated debian? Oh maybe fedora. And which DE? KRASHDE? Toy gnome? Or xfce directly from 1996? Or cosmic alpha 2813923?

>>109057822Deus Ex got a Mac release.
I loved GOM Player for about a decade until they split it into a free version with ads and added a Pro version without them, like 10 years ago or something. This player combined with K-Lite would play anything you threw at it, and it had that feature where it was really good at playing broken media files. This was excellent for previewing video that was still just starting to download so I could see if it was worth finishing it, as in the case of downloading porn from a torrent on a slow connection, lol, I wouldn't wait all day for a 1.5GB video just to find out that it's not fappable for my tastes.>>109050259Is this still a thing? I remember it seemed to be dying off in the mid-2000s, like everything I searched for wouldn't download. Been torrenting exclusively since.>>109050279Just installed this on a work computer last night to crop screenshots after having not used it probably since Photoshop CS3 released just to see how it is these days. It was alright, I'm used to GIMP (I use CachyOS btw) and Photoshop so it was a little awkward but got the job done.>>109050300Not much to say about WinAMP. It was better than WMP, but after discovering fb2k in like 2006, I dropped it immediately.>>109050464Discovered this just a couple months ago and ditched FoxIt Reader, which has become such a bloated piece of shit over the past, I don't know, over a decade probably since I discovered it. Foxit used to be good at one time.>>109055019Office started to suck with 2007 when they changed to the ribbon interface. I fucking hate it, never got used to it. 2003 was peak.>>109057878Hell yeah. I wish Linux had a true clone of fb2k, and don't suggest the Wine version, it runs like shit. A native port would be so good.
>>109058560tonight i will pray that you find your way to the enlightenment of rufus, ye unknower
>>109050464sumatrapdf enforces pdf edit/copy protection drm
>>109058937Kek Linux haters will talk crap about Linux having all kinds of jank, meanwhile Windows is literally full of viruses, bloat, and jank.
>>109058477it really is insane how nothing comes even close to Rufus all these years later
>>109058958remove drm from pdf using pdftk or patch sumatrapdf to ignore those bits.
>>109059108So true, I mean the one usb image writer in Linux Mint is dummy simple, and disks can restore an ISO onto a usb, but on Windows Rufus is the shit, I used to use Power ISO to do my flash drives, but Rufus was free and better, and I wish it existed on Linux.
>>109050259THis and Directory Opus AND FOOBAR2K AND JPEGVIEW AND FOR FUCKS SAKE I ALREADY HAD SUCH A COMFY SUITE I JUST HAD TO SWITCH TO LINUX HAD I??

>>109050259i miss Lossless Audio Checker. it stopped development and you can't download it from the website anymore.Spek is better overall and works on linux, but LAC could batch-check files really quickly.

>>109053995my main reason for keeping a window box just for movies. i just can't into bad framepacing.on madvr i'm watching a movie, on anything else i'm watching a computer. marketeers are free (this time) to coin my line.
>>109059622i could never ever get WINE to work on Mint until i downloaded a gaming platform through the software manager that thankfully had all of the dependencies and files for WINE in the right place. the one thing i miss about michaelsoft is having self-contained exe files instead of 1.1 GB tarballs full of loose files. shit is ugly
>>109058462That reminds me of Click & Create and The Games Factory
watching this threadthere's a lot of boomerpilled softwarebut if you think about those, those really try to do one thing and very well, not in a literal way but with a human in mindi wonder what killed these kind of softwares
>>109050268I find MPC-BE has lower power draw so I use it on my laptop instead when it's on battery. I can get it pretty close with settings but even then BE still wins with its default config>MPCVR
>>109053734fre:ac includes AccurateRip and is multi-platformBut it is not an "audio player", only a ripper
>>109063577There's only 2 rippers that can submit the results back to the AR database and those are Windows only, although they do work perfectly in WINE/whatever.
>>109050268>>109050464>>109050663>>109059317I always wondered what was so hard in porting these to troonix...
>>109050259Visual Studio (the full one not vscode). that's the only thing keeping me from switching to linux
>>109050259Everything File Search. the one programme I really miss
>>109061525perfect softwareunless you want to crop a png which has transparency
>>109050259Why was this slow as hell while kazaa and morpheus were faster?
>>109056629is there really no program like Everything on Linux?
>>109063680Most devs won't port to Linux because they would need to release their source code and use good cross platform libraries. Most proprietary software goes unpackaged on Linux. Most windows libraries are the EEE shenanigans everyone knows about, where the libraries are easy to use but not portable. To some extent, this is Microsoft's plan.Additionally, lots of this software is kept proprietary to kill competition, as open source software allows any determined individual to easily iterate and improve it. Windows software is typically kept with a freeware model so that they can get all the users without opening themselves up to that competition. There is also some software that advertises itself as freeware while being spyware, but most windows users don't mind being spied on and wouldn't go checking their firewall anyways.And of course, without source code, nobody can easily audit these things, which helps the developers continue these predatory practices.
>>109065135Kfind or, even fasterfind (directory) | grep (filename)
>>109063680>>109065135Everything (and most other tools like WizTree) heavily rely on the NTFS index to generate their databases (e.g. WizTree loads faster on a whole disk than large directories) and the fact that NT has a much more complete and robust filesystem notification API so they can trivially stay up to date from any file change, the equivalent on Lincucks you can only listen to individual inodes (not recursive) and there is an inode cap so it is not reasonable to receive filesystem wide notifications. Hence the equivalent on Unixes is typically running mlocate periodically and hoping you don't neee to find a recent file.
>>109050374DOS Interface file explorers are just limiting to me, IMO. That being said, I like Directory Opus, which carries the spirt of shit like Norton Commander and its innumerable derivatives. It's funny, I paid for that software, I usually balk at buying software, but that Aussie bastard did such a good job making that software it won me over and he deserved that money. He completely crushed File Explorer by Microsoft.
