From what I've heard, that's iTune's main feature bro.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I used to like Winamp until I discovered that having over 5000 songs or so will break the playlist generator (where you can choose to "play songs similar to"). At least iTunes' Genius Playist thing works, even if it's lovely and it just spits out a list of whatever artist you selected plus one or maybe two other artists in the same general category.

Is there any other alternative (not loving Spotify or Pandora) where I can pick a song and it'll give me some non-obvious choices from my library in a playlist? I don't want it to stream from the internet, I want it to be from my own library so I can play it while playing online games or whatever.

I like using last.fm for this, but if you haven't been 'scrobbling' it won't really give you anything. The API is relatively easy to understand, though, so it'd be easy to hack together a program that would say you've listened to everything in your library once - then you could use the playlist generation features, which are generally pretty good.

aw, hec
Just buy a CD player and the CDs you want and bypass this problem all together.
Also, some CD players have a radio built in so you can listen to music for free!!!!!!!

Not to mention you can get an album on CD for a fraction of the cost of the lossy compressed DRM bullshit iTunes sells.

It's the best I can do with Google hosting. I uploaded a proper certificate chain composed of my latest certificate, and the latest versions of StartSSL's CA certificates, and yet some probing still somehow finds that Google is emitting a CA certificate from 7 years ago. I'd be interested in finding a better way of handling this, besides switching hosts.

EDIT: Welp, looks like Google App Engine doesn't support chaining multiple certificates. Lovely. Known issue since 2012.

Oh and your post reminded of the reason why I ditched Winamp in the first place. So thank you.

VLC has a double-pass flat EQ that makes music sound really warm, like vinyl.

I have no idea how it works because the EQ is left flat, but I discovered it by accident and has a very noticeable impact over no-EQ, though halves the volume output.

No but for real if you have a bandpass filter in a normal listening path you clearly have no idea what the gently caress and might as well use iTunes

latest winamp is fine dude. and you can turn off all the features you dont want. the latest winamp installer is a loving marvel of customization. i can totally understand around 2006 using an old version of winamp cause at that period it WAS a resource hog. however the year is 2014, i have 16gb of ram. plus the library system is enormously useful and well designed
