...on the planet!
Fer Pete's sake! You waste your time. You answer the same questions over and over and over. Why? Because qualified technical writers aren't writing the questions. Because answered questions aren't put in one place: A knowledge base. And probably because the moderators here aren't really tech support people, or aren't getting paid. I know one moderator who works for this site who is moderating the boards for free! No pay!
If I wanna use music in a broadcast, and have full freedom to play what I want, I gotta BMI or APCAP (or whatever it is) nearly $300). Why? Cause the labels hold the copyright, and BMI and APSAP wholesale yearly licences. The music adds value to
a. A radio station
b. Broadcasters
c. Department stores.
etc.
And Winamp can't afford to pay real tech support people and make a real tech support system? Think of the value these people add to this site! Don't expect me to answer any questions. That adds value and is worth money. (that's all you ever think about -- this is a business).
And your FAQ! What a joke! Hey, I'm really interested in chat room jargon. Like "RTFF = Read the fucking faq!" - a quote out of the faq! NOW THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL! I'm reading your FAQ and you tell me to read your FAQ!
Now, you got your banner at the top of these boards. There is room for you to put a link to a real FAQ, and a link to real tech support pages, i.e. a knowledge base on either side of this banner of yours. There's room for a button to a FAQ for the boards. And theres' plenty of room to put a link to known issues! But you're either too cheap to pay someone to do this, or too stupid to realize how much time you waste (and all of us readers, collectively). All that time has value! Right? Time = money, no? You need to buy a licence to waste our time, just as we need a licence to broadcast music!
No wonder Winamp is free! It has major tech support problems! And to think that Winamp, and Winamp.com are owned by one the LARGEST AND HOTTEST CORPORATIONS IN AMERICA! - AMERICA ONLINE! A billion dollar business, who can't get their shit together and make decent tech support.
And I'm not the only one complaining. I've seen three or four of these threads that bitch about the tech support! How many does it take?
You won't get an AVS library from me. I'll make no more Locker room shows. I won't answer questions for you either. And if you wanna know how to make a knowledge base from someone that knows how to make a knowlege base, that'd be me! You can't afford me.
