Question: Back in March 1998, a string of new Winamp versions in the 1.8 range were released adding genre versions, some of which would be backported into the ID3 spec. In Winamp 1.82, the genre "Negerpunk" was added (which, of course, isn't a real genre). Do you remember the story behind the bit at Nullsoft, or anyone else that may know more about it? Asked by ryan fae (96.248.95.x) on May 17 2024, 3:22am Reply on May 17 2024, 11:47am: I was adding things (including features, and genres) in response to requests from EFnet IRC, including, regrettably, that one.

Comment... Question: What's your take on this? llama-group.com/wp-content/uploads...(TL;DR the people who own Winamp are open sourcing it) Asked by Kevin (152.173.97.x) on May 16 2024, 7:57pm Reply on May 17 2024, 2:40am: Hopefully they GPL it!

Asked by Mespotine (212.122.61.x) on May 8 2024, 2:34pm Reply on May 8 2024, 10:34pm: Ah yes, right on Comment... Question: Dear Justin, I've searched extensively on forums and couldn't find an answer. Is there a way to modify the default behavior of routing a multi-channel track so that it sends all channels to another multi-channel track, instead of just "channels 1-2"? This is crucial for handling templates with hundreds of tracks. I tried using the SetTrackSendInfo_Value method for scripting, but it didn't work as expected. Thank you for your help.

Question: Which countries have you been to? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on May 7 2024, 2:38pm Reply on May 7 2024, 7:23pm: The big North American ones, a few in the Caribbean, maybe 8 or so in Europe and Tahiti. Comment... Question: Have you got any favourite desert island distortion/overdrive/fuzz? Asked by Dom64 (82.132.224.x) on May 7 2024, 6:29am Reply on May 7 2024, 9:23am: I’m very happy with my Plasmatron, but the Strymon Sunset is pretty versatile for the non-fuzz side of that question. But a friend has a lot of pedals and there are so many good ones! 3 Comments... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
