    Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.

    Discord similarly is an affront.

      Correction, Winamp still does this today while using a fraction of the resources.

      Though if you’re on Windows I’d recommend Xmplay instead, it plays basically everything.

      I’m on Linux and I use VLC.

      don’t worry, this will all be solved now with incompetent vibe-coders, just give it a while

      or you will look back to this with a nostalgic tear in the eye. one of these.
