This detour into winamp-like Garmin watch faces did make me learn something bizarre. For a couple years starting in 1999, NCR - the people who make ATMs and cash registers - sponsored the development of XMMS, at the time the leading open-source Winamp-alike.

The dotcom boom was a weird time, wasn't it.

@danderson @skinnylatte god I miss xmms. The last app that just played the music I wanted, when and how I wanted, and never made me angry at it.

The “Albums” app on iOS comes close, but it only does albums, nothing else. I sometimes do other stuff.

@rf One of my earliest OSS experiences was contributing PulseAudio and Icecast support to XMMS2. It was good software, back when we were allowed to own things 😢
