Time Lag

I haven’t tried Winamp in quite a while.  Frankly, MCE 2005 is really good, and there hasn’t been a big reason.

Until I got my music running through my webserver, at which point I found out that WMP 11 refuses to open unDRM’ed m3u playlists.  At which point I told Quicktime to handle m3u playlists, at which point it refused to do it right.  So, enter Winamp.

First reaction: This is slick.

Second reaction: Oh, this is slicker than I originally thought.

I have the sucker “shaded” into my taskbar, always on top, with a scrolling bar announcing the track title.  The taskbar item for the program is also scrolling, in case I choose to minimize the app.

I’m starting to wonder what I was thinking a few years ago.
