@lore I've never used WinAMP much, WinAMP in particular. My computer was probably still not performant enough to play something casually when I've been using Windows and by the time I got myself a decent rig, I've already been using linux so it was XMMS — with WinAMP skins of course 😂

@lore Lossy compression itself was quite a miracle — I remember downloading an MP3 file off some BBS and playing it back to a friend — and it didn't take forever, he was like "Wow, you can do that now?" 😲
We were still mostly using compact cassettes at the time.
