3DTV died due to the tech not being ready and it was never treated as anything other than a gimmick by manufacturers. By the time the tech had matured there was too much garbage being sold and people lost interest. The most common 3DTV's were cheap, low quality and most 3D content was terrible. I have two aging 3D LCD screens, a Samsung S27A950D monitor and a Soniq L42D11A 3DTV. Half of my movie collection, possibly more, is 3D Blue Ray so I won't be updating to anything that isn't 3D for a while. My 12 year old Soniq died four years ago, so it spent two years under a sheet in my bedroom until I managed to get a new mainboard over a year ago. And my 12 year old Samsung although it has a couple of dead pixels, still has great picture quality, better than some of the cheaper 4K TV's and monitors.
This story makes the most sense from American perspective where Apple's iPod really got popular. In many other countries, however (like Poland where I live) it wasn't exactly like that. Here Apple's product were never widely adopted due to their huge prices for local customers and sometimes lack of availability for certain paid services. Hence, instead of iPods, people used mobile MP3 players (like the small sticks you copied files onto) or simply early Nokia or Sony Ericsson cell phones with similar functionality. Downloading and ripping MP3s was thus still a thing in the late 2000s and early 2010s, so was Winamp and similar software (like AIMP or Foobar). What really phased them out here was Spotify and RU-vid that completely changed the way people listened to digital music.
What will happen to existing games even those free 2 play ones like warzone fortnite rogue company? WIll those still get updates? I know that it wont get anymore new games after 2025. But will existing games still get updates?
So. Giving away my age: I use Winamp as my music collection player at home. I'm 54 years old. I still run a high powered sound system like many of my fossil generation. 8 strategically placed 8 inch ceiling speakers powered by a previous generation Pioneer digital receiver and 2 10 inch active subs (Klipsch and Polk Audio, accompanied by a 75 inch tv centrally mounted and connected to my desk top computer shaking the house with my dusty collection. Not audiophile material. Good! Don't need to be pretentious. It sounds amazing enough and makes me happy. Especially with rum and cola in hand.
People with Asperger have difficulties picking up social cues and interacting with others...and he is Managing multimillion worldwide space company with Asperger? does not it sound weird to you?
What happened to winamp? Nothing. People became increasingly stupid though. "..a lot of people became itunes users...". Ummmm, forgive me, but I don't personally know anyone who did that.
You sound like you know what you are talking about, but you don't. I read more on Wikipedia than what this video with good production value had to say. Also $179.00 of then was more like $500 of today.
I had a passive LG 3d tv that was amazing! it broke about 2 years ago and thought I’d never come across someone selling one. Well guess what?! the other day I found a 47 inch 3d passive Vizio TV on FB marketplace for only $100. I drove an hour to pick it up & am so happy to have 3D at home again. I know there’s a lot of gimmicky movies that aren’t meant for 3D but the few that are look great! Also you can make custom glasses with the same kind of lens as one side and play split screen games full screen at the same time on the same tv witch eliminates screen watching. Truly amazing.
I'm sure it didn't help that they published ads insulting the Gameboy and therefore the 15 million people who owned one. "Leave your little boy toys at home." But many little boys took it with them during the Pokemon craze.
3D gaming is amazing, and still alive and kicking. We have a whole community in Discord. Sony and the mainstream just haven't done properly. Marketing has been wrong as well.
Winamp was life changing‼️ it was so customizable. The skins were off the chain! Everybody used to come over to the pad to burn CDs and they always used Winamp to convert the files. GREAT TIMES👍🏽
hello dt, the sites that gave DL of songs also included owners of winamp - 'rip'ing the music and play it in winamp. thank you for this video for any new computer science students of history. elle for mp3
Winapm still exist It's now a music distributing company a radio website and other stuff on their new website and yeah for those of you don't know that you can distribute music through them
Beautiful control, but hard to hold. Hardly any games are on it and little to no exclusives. The games that are there are horrible, even the Gen 2 Atari 2600 is a better buy.
I have really good memories of Winamp, I used it a lot in my youth in 2000-2011! :) I also used Windows messenger a lot. Technology has advanced tremendously and nowadays it's actually really convenient when you can just stream the music you want on Tidal without having to manually download it from somewhere, etc.
I'm still using went out and I hope it's better than ever been when it comes on September. Can't wait. I love it. It's like your own personal radio station. Jukebox music is so clear.
Yeah winamp stil is great i just love the interface and back in the days winamp 2 was my first program that was small (for pc standards) and just worked really welll. I switched to aim coz i wanted to play my music when at work and i had some buffering issues but i do miss the ease of use of winamp aim tries to be too smart formy likings
Still using Winamp since it's the only player I know of with the plug-ins necessary to play video game music files (.spc, .psf., etc.) as they're played in-game.
