Fond memories of What.cd, waffles.fm amongst others.

I remember 12 years ago trying to get 30 or so FLAC albums into Foobar on a windows laptop I was taking with me on holiday. In order to display them as one collection the only obvious way to do this was to create individual playlists of each album and I think group them. When I shut my machine down I had the habit of using Ctrl+w to close everything but Foobar took this instruction as close and delete the playlist. When I revisited the app my library was empty. Back then I did not have the patience to rice Foobar up or explore the display configurations so that's where I gave up on Flac playback on a temp win machine.

For OSX I was a big fan of the original incarnation of Vox and bought a Swinsian license which is still my primary music player. I hope with the cli app resurgence we get something that improves on Cmus as I have a lot of 24/96 Flac that isn't supported and would love to have something run near seamless in Linux.

Props to all those sticking with winamp or playing .mod files
