Winamp = Garbage!
 
I have a friend, who shall not be named, who says that Winamp is "shitty garbage, realplayer all the way!". After I threw a punch I began defending Winamp with all it's awesome skins and plugins, and great community, but he just wouldn't listen, so I thought I would let you speak to him. Direct your comments to Shawn...

apollos 24th June 2002 16:55

Look, we realise you like Winamp but there is no need to hit someone for calling it shit.

It is not clever. Everyone is entitled to their oppinion.


What, are we supposed to give you a medal for telling us this?

:rolleyes:

c2R 24th June 2002 16:56

If he likes realplayer, and can live with it's evil spyware-ness, and general bloat, fair play.

I can't be bothered to argue with cretins.

Ok anybody with a bit of common sense would realize I didn't really hit him, or blow-up, I just said Winamp is the best! And duh', your little medal comment, your in a WINAMP FORUM, and your dissing me about likeing winamp too much, {sniff, sniff}, do you smell that irony Major Dude with over 1580 posts, {sniff, sniff}. This is a general foum and I thought I liked to see what some people would say to defend Winamp, but I guess you just too much of a to just joke around. I don't really get mad if people use realplayer, I just wanted to see what you guys'd say...

Atmo 24th June 2002 17:13

Meh, if your friend likes real player then let him. No point arguing over which is best...Just walk away laughing.

Also, attacking inatlantis for his comment was not cool.

I do not need to be bitchy toward you in responce to the quote ^^.

Your attitude is a little off for example your hositility toward some members. I like Winamp, dont get me wrong, but i dont need to punish people for disliking it, its their choice.

chill. :)

james 24th June 2002 17:25

Looks like blueprint_n9ne is the latest post-pumping, poll-flooding, forum-annoying n00b.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

:D

Print 24th June 2002 18:05

Inatlantis, in my follow up post, I was just trying to tell you I wasn't reall throwing punches, just seeing how much ppl loved Winamp, I wasn't try to start anything up, so let's just stay cool. On a totally unrelated topic, (trust me it is), why do people overreact to everything around here? We all like Winamp, we're all here to just chat, but you people say mean things, than when people reply, you condemn them for saying mean things, don't contradict yourselves, just get along. And i am not here to flame, so stay off my case, cuz I won't fight back! [anymore]

No, he's not annoying, just a little hostile from time to time.

Allright, this has gone on way to long, I have tryed over weeks and weeks to submit my skin. I have tryed to alter the way i submitted my skin, made sure there was no spaces, shorter descriptions, longer ones, ect. BUT THERE STILL IS A F**KING UNKOWN ERROR!! I didn't have trouble before, so why now. Is this just me, or is it Winamp. I just want to submit my skin. Somebody, (without any mumbo-jumbo), please tell me the EXACT rules for submitting a skin, cuz I am f**king pissed!!!
in GD arent needed, the bitchlist are for them.
We arent overreacting, just simply reacting blue's rudeness

Note that someone's post count does not reflect their wisdom or brilliance... it just reflects the amount of posts. Also note that Inatlantis has over two times my post count, yet I have been here over four times longer than him.

Anyway, Inatlantis overreacted a little in my opinion, because It looks like blueprint_n9ne was just looking for more valid arguments to convince his friend to use Winamp instead of Realplayer :). I don't see why he can't put down Realplayer. It indeed is a piece of shit.

[edit]
In addition, I think that it essentially not a members place to warn another member about his attitude. If you feel that a member is out of order, click the 'report this post to a moderator' link and if necessary, the member in question will receive a warning.

cmisker 24th June 2002 18:34

Actually, I think he was misunderstood, what I think he meant was, well, this was like a thread he could his friend read and it should have been full of good things about Winamp. I think?

[edit]Hey! What Baafie said (equals what I said), wasn't here yet when I wrote my reply! :p I guess you have to be Dutch to understand what other people are saying. Just kidding! :D[/edit]

[edit2]Hey, Baafie is editing his post too... cool. (Actually, this is edit3, because edit2 was to make sure Baafie was Dutch too)[/edit2(3)]

Let's just agree to disagree, or we can all just get along or we can just say




WINAMP ROCKS





realplayer sucks

Well, mmm, since he already said this to his friend and that didn't really work, he'll need another argument. :p

henry3k56 24th June 2002 18:45

I've persuaded my friend to use Winamp over Windows Media Player. But it failed. So what? I'm not gonna be his friend anymore, am I? No.
I know both programs fairly well, so it doesn't bother me when I'm at his house and we're playing mp3s on WMP. ;)

Print 24th June 2002 18:56

Lol, it had nothing to do with hating my friend, he asked me why he should use Winamp, he thought it was s***y, so I was asking people what they thought of Winamp. I don't hate Realplayer, I just don't use it.

Exactly what i was looking for, but like some of my other posts, people focused on a joke, like punching my friend, I am not a psychopath, i don't go around giving beatings for Windows Media or Realplayer users. :p {or should I}

[ and when I say should I, note I AM ONLY KIDDING ]

cmisker 24th June 2002 19:01

Yeah, I kinda have to agree with you on that some people kinda overreacted. But oh well, next time, I guess, you'll have to phrase it better (I mean, I really did read it the way I said in my post the first time, but some people are a little bit picky, I guess..) Uhoh.. don't flame me! :) I love you people!

Humour noted :D

I dont like Realplayer but i have no choice - i must have it.
I sample Greek music from Greekmusic.com which requires realplyer.
Its the only place i can get the streams from and simply downloading random tracks from kazaa on my 56k.


Sorry if I misinterpretted your post :)

Print 24th June 2002 19:10

It's ok, i'm really confusing sometimes. Hey, some sites let you download videos, but it is only in .RAM form, do you have to have realplayer for that? someone told me u did, or can your change the ending to mpg or something?

Why is it you can almost never seem to start a thread which mananges to lead into some kind of flame war? (dont flame me, just a pointless question)

Let your friend like real player while you listen to tunes in Winamp which allows for more CPU to be used on other things, no people spying on what you listen to or have on your HDD, etc...

You can use Winamp to listen to streaming Real audio and video. Just download the plugin called 'Tara' and start playing. Leave Real installed though.

Um, isnt the whole point to get rid of realplayer with an alternative.
There is no point in me bothering using this plugin.
You know what they say, if it aint fixed...

{Sigh}, did you actually read above, or did you read the first few posts and make judgement? I have said many times that I don't care what people have, the intention was for defending Winamp and saying what Winamp has, not to bash Realplayer or anything. What's wrong with having a little Winamp pride. :)

The reason? People like you who don't give misunderstandings a rest. I sometimes don't point across clearly, but I don't expect you to overreact, just ask, if I say I punched somebody, just ask, did you really punch him if you are ready to go off on a flaming spree because of it.

Now here is my question. Why are you so nosey? lol, [ plz I am just kidding as friendly humour ]

benefits are that you don't have to use Real. You can remove most of it. Also, why not use WMP instead of Winamp(for mp3 that is)? If it aint broke, don't fix it..

everyone's said everything that i would say . . . i must say that blueprint has a remarkable talent for getting a lot of people to respond to his threads quickly. . .

deadrabbit 25th June 2002 00:55

what i'm saying is that you seem to deliberately but something in your post that will make people slightly mad, so they'll respond . . . i think you do it on purpose, and i don't think it's a bad thing, it really works quite well, i think it's funny that some other people don't seem to see this, and they just get pissed off . . . and reply, just like you want . . .

Your're right, NOT! I don't want to fight people, besides what you might think. The reasons SOME, the keyword is some, of my posts end up like that is because of two things. The first is my fault, i am quick to lose my temper when people make rude comments, like you, {ahem}, the second is because even after I drop it, or appoligize, people just keep it going, much like you! So if you don't wanna see anymore this, STOP REPEATING THE SAME COMMENTS, i understand i pissed a few people off, not anymore, {see some of my other posts where anything went bad, I made well}, so just drop it. I am not here to flame, i am here to help people with stuff, and get questions answered myself. Anyway, sorry to those few people I pissed off, you know who you are, and the people that pissed me off, I forgot about it. Let's just get back to the good ol' Winamp forums.

deadrabbit 25th June 2002 02:43

the irony of it all . .. i don't know if that was you being a genius, or if your pissed off, or whatever, but in any case, i'm not mad or annoyed at you at all, on the contrary, i'm simply trying to say that i'm impressed with your style of posting. honestly. 'nuf said

Lol, I am speaking of the atmosphere, not necesarily me, if I am not allowed to call Winamp home, than fine, but when I say good ol' I don't mean back in the day, it's an expression, stop picking for a fight. [ oh and may 2002, your only March so don't act so big, we are both pretty new ]
