Best visualizations ever.
Milkdrop made my friends and I have a shared visual hallucination.
We were tripping on mushrooms listening to music and I put Milkdrop on, and there was one display that kind of looked like a swamp... It took over the whole room for all of us and whenever it would come on we all would get transported to this rainbow, peaceful swamp area for the duration of the visual...
It was absolutely amazing.
Thank you for reminding me that Wesley Willis exists. Here is your upvote and if anyone needs me I’ll be on YouTube for approximately the next several hours. I whooped…Batman aaaaaass. I WHOOPED BATMANS AAAAAAAASS!
Got to meet him after a show. I was not worthy of a headbutt, but he did sign the shirt of his artwork.
That was a long time ago and I've since lost the signed shirt, but Wesley will forever whoop asses with a belt in my heart.
If you want to use a modern release of Winamp based player (fork) I recommend WACUP, it's based on Winamp 5.666 and is in active development, latest release in June 5th 2024. It's for Windows but apparently works via Wine on Linux.
It can use Winamp classic and modern skins. (I just use the default Big Bento skin).

It’s only official if Primus has its own, dedicated genre classification.

I use Foobar2000 to play music nowadays, and I honestly don't know why I do. For my uses, it doesn't offer anything Winamp wasn't doing decades ago. I think I mostly felt stuck in the past using such an old app...
What I could really use is a Milkdrop-like visualizer that has access to a slight precache, so its "bass drum" reactions aren't 100 to 150ms delayed but actually visibly respond to the beats. I use the standalone Milkdrop for now, which obviously carries exactly the shortcoming I underscored.
I should have specified projectM. It's a standalone Milkdrop.
Doesn't have an offset but that wouldn't matter. The issue is that the visuals are reactive, and there's a perceptible delay between the actual highest peak of a bass drum and the corresponding visual feedback in Milkdrop, giving the sense that it's a split second late every time. The only way to combat this would be for Milkdrop to somehow receive its input a split second earlier than Windows plays the audio.
Ouff....
This got my engineering senses tingling.
I think I'll try that but with XMMS (since that's more nostalgic to me) and physical buttons whatnot instead!

Needs a screen for the visualizer too.
I miss the visualiser.
Ryan Geiss made my favorite, called Geiss.
Geiss and Milkdrop were the shiznizzle

AVS was the GOAT.
Plus 10 updoots to you!
If your handle is an Idiocracy reference, then right back atcha, friend.
Excellent call. No one has ever noticed that. It’s been my screen name on forums for a long time now.
DILLDOZER!
I loved the bear dancing on an island from the Black and White game.
Just download winamp and miss it no more. Milk drop is insane with a modern gpu.
and shout out to Justin Frankel, the author who is still very awsome (reaper.fm)
Is there a way to incorporate Milkdrop into spotify outputs?
There are general output audio visualizers: * https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm * https://github.com/milkdrop2077/MilkDrop3/
Hell yeah. Milkdrop 3 is amazing.
Ooooooooh
It’s great, I use it still to this day 😊
Milkdrop 2
Was definitely a favorite of mine.
Yep, no visualizer, no buy.
It really whips the llamas 🦙ass!
I need my llama
Life goals. I love it.
Can get a rack mounted one but they’re not cheap
It has a screen. The entire face with all the “buttons” is a screen. Not sure if that means the visualizer works or not though.
Pretty neat, but it would be even cooler if it was physical buttons, and VFDs for the displays
You make it I'll buy it
Narrator: He didn't buy it, probably would only buy it if it cost $1.
Don’t forget a [motorized slide potentiometer](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5466) for the scrubber.
I thought it was in that way before clicking the link tbh
This, 100%. It would probably cost a fortune though, but I reckon I'd still buy it
Cane to say this
That would be so cool if it’s actually a physical recreation.
Let’s not throw around words like ultimate before he 3D prints functional push buttons for the interface, but this does rule just as it is
Kinda nice because of how popular skinning became, this could support that—although a more analog og version sounds tops.
It’s really whips the llama’s ass

Wheaties! Breakfast of champions!
An expression not used lightly.
Came here to say this very thing.
I actually came here to say \*this\*
This! and Napster was a beauty combined!!
Read that just brought back a core memory.
I will hear this in my head every time I see Winamp mentioned.
That’s my fetish.
Came here for this!
Linamp - It reawwy lhips the wwama's ass.
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.
Gorgeous…
And then the track hits so hard 💥
Is that a fuckin jojo reference? Edit: fuck, guys, it's a meme. Tough crowd
I don’t know what jojo is, but that’s a Daft Punk reference (the article picture shows they’re playing Giorgio by Moroder from Random Access Memories)
I still use Winamp every day.

Fam. Ditto here. Running strong for over 25 years now. Never have found a librarian/player that I like any better.
It’s a box with a touch screen. I was expecting something far more interesting.
Man I’d love this screen as an overlay for my CarPlay music player.
Next up: the polished, physical version of Minesweeper. Good luck.
Stick that on a Rabbit R1 somehow. Might get a lot of views on Youtube! It might even sell as "successfully" as the R1.
The movie trailer for that was so good. I’m pretty sure it’s held up, too.

I don’t know if it really whips the llamas ass..?
That is the real question here.

I use AiMP. I find that it's the closest replacement for Winamp, right down to the EQ using the same frequencies and presets.
You can try [WACUP](https://getwacup.com/), it's a clone of Winamp for Win7+ including the original visualizers (AVS, Geiss, Milkdrop), skins, etc.
Thanks. I'll take a look.
If on your PC, you can still get WinAmp, assuming you still have your mp3 library.
Didn't Milk Drop have an offset setting? I haven't used it in so long, I don't remember.

I don't mean delaying the visual, I mean delaying the sound (so the computer "hears" it before you do).
My office music player is a cheap old netbook with all my music and Winamp lol.
Revive? I never stopped using it for local media files.
I love that Primus is the only band to have their own genre on Winamp.
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
Tell me you grew up in the nineties without telling me you grew up in the ninties.
Need the front to be magnetic or metal so I can apply n remove skins on a daily whim too
It’s just an lcd screen….
Winamp it really whips the lamas ass.
That's pretty cool...
Oh my god I forgot Scott Winamp and the custom skins 🤯😂
smacks the hell outa the lama
Great track!!
Man... if I could hear again id totally love to have this.
How do I download skins on it?
Ouff.... This got my engineering senses tingling. I think I'll try that but with XMMS (since that's more nostalgic to me) and physical buttons whatnot instead!
Winamp also manages large libraries wayyyyy better than any other app
but how do I skin it?
Why?
It really whips the llamas ass!
I haven’t heard of winamp in ages . Nice memory
This thing really whips the llama’s ass.
But everyone really wants to know if it still "whips the llamas ass"?
It really whips the llamas ass!
A physical device version of a program designed to mimic physical devices. We have gone full circle with skeumorphism.
This whips the llama’s ass.

See I think Pinamp, because it's built on a Pi but it'd be pronounced PINamp to rhyme.
Slim Shady had to be the most played song on Winamp.
Neat hobby, I ill stick with my Grace Digital Mondo radio.
Just a rasberry pi made to do less than it could normally do in a bigger box than it needs.
I bet you are a blast at parties.
I hope at parties you aren't playing a Winamp player.
Talk about overkill. The pigeon has landed, folks
