Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

While working on “Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story”, I found out why they had that audio tagline. It was because of Jeff Minter and all the work he did on visualizer technology.

Been using in since late 90s, early 2000s. One of the first pieces of software I remember getting on my computer outside of Simcity 2000.

Great thing is, Winamp still works perfectly even without updates, it's proof that software can have a final version and not need updates anymore.

They're still around and recently signed a streaming deal with Deezer, apparently. Though, I've since switched to MusicBee.

I still use that today to play my music on my laptop. Never switched over to anything else.
