#winamp wrapped

[oddlyunadventurous]

[corneille-moisie]

but also a friend gave us their 'old' (its not old) gaming pc, so that means i get to have our old pc do to whatever i want with 🤔🤔🤔

[emblazonet]

Ah yes, Spotify Wrapped season, where everyone is talking about music I have never heard of and I realize I can't join in the fun because I'm still downloading stuff and playing it on winamp.

[rezcowgirl]

If you hate Spotify (as you should), but still want one of those year end wrapped things, get Last.fm. It's baseline free and can be connected with many different media players. I started scrobbling in 2005 using Winamp.

I only got back into my last.fm this year after being locked out for 5 years, and I'm so happy to be back. I know most probably dgaf, but personally, I love arbitrary data and meaningless reports.

Anyway, this was my #1 song💖Criminally underrated:

[hraefne]

the new wrapped is why I downloaded all the songs from my liked playlist on spotify and switched to winamp lmao (or WACUP, but yeah). I love the visualizer :)

In case you were wondering why Spotify Wrapped sucks balls this year, and more importantly doesn't have any genre data:

Can you hear the sound of bells? That's because they're clowns. 🤡 🛎

[jjcattt]

genuinely considering cancelling my spotify subscription and moving my music library to mp3s downloaded on my computer. every reason I used to use spotify is just gone now and I just don't think I have any reasons left to justify the price.

making playlists of songs I like: gone. "smart shuffle" adds random junk to your playlists if you don't pay enough attention and I don't think I've heard half of the songs on my main playlist since May.

song recommendations: gone. spotify just keeps showing me the same 5 songs that I don't like over and over again.

podcasts: despite paying for premium, spotify still shoves a million ads down my throat when i listen to podcasts, and I know they aren't just baked into the audio file because they're all in australian accents no matter what I listen to.

wrapped: hyped up for an entire extra week with every second ad on any platform I use being "spotify wrapped is coming soon!!!!" only to tell me that my music taste is "skateboard alt z rock" (???), that my top artist in february was an artist that I started listening to in september, and that I listened to my top song for 8 total hours when I know for a fact that I listened to it on repeat for at least a full week.

anyway, winamp is free, fully customisable, and has way more personality than spotify ever could, and there are programs you can download that automatically convert your entire spotify library to mp3 files. goodbye spotify, I hope I never see your stupid green logo ever again.

2024 Music in Review: My Favorite Songs

Spotify Wrapped is here, but mine is only a small glimpse of what I listen to, and how I listen to it. Sure, as singles release, I do usually turn to Spotify, or YouTube, to listen. But once an album is out, the vast majority of my listening happens via the iPod connect to my car stereo on my 25-60+ minute commutes to and from work (depending on how early I wrap up my day - no pun intended). And on PC I still prefer Winamp. I only tolerate iTunes because having every song I've ever loved, stored locally, on a simple device that interfaces with my car stereo has never been trumped.

So here's a small sampling of what Spotify and iTunes say I listened to most.

Note: at a certain point this year, iTunes scrubbed my complete history of play counts (I bought a new PC and probably loaded a different backup of the files from a different drive, plus iTunes always gives me a fight when synching my modded iPod.) Otherwise, there would still be a lot of plays from Fair to Midland, Lions at the Gate, Fire from the Gods, Voyager, and some of the other early albums from the year or late last year.

First off, as favorites go, it was a sweep this year:

Artist of the Year: Linkin Park

Album of the Year: From Zero

Song of the Year: "Good Things Go" (debatable with many of the other From Zero songs)

"IGYEIH" by Linkin Park:

I talked about "Good Things Go" elsewhere before, as well as iTunes' most played song, "Stained" so here's "IGYEIH." If I have one criticism of it, it is that I wish Colin would have leaned even more into the bass drum with a barrage of sixteenth note kicks as the phrases end ("wishful thinking, drowning, sinking, left with nothing left, I give you everything I have!")

"I Don't Know How We Got Here" by VOLA:

My second favorite song (excluding LP songs) is up for debate. But let's give it to VOLA with "I Don't Know How We Got Here." It's a hauntingly smooth, catchy track with some interesting imagery. And Adam Janzi is one of the smoothest guys behind a drumset, effortlessly working around his kit with perfect precision on a song that somehow both feels somewhat simple yet percussively complex. So here he is playing through the track.

VOLA's full album is another latecomer to 2024 which is why their iTunes play count is still lacking. I loved all the singles, but I'm still forming an opinion on the complete album, and it doesn't get as much love with LP on constant repeat.

"Last dAntz" by Alien Ant Farm:

Alien Ant Farm came back! That wasn't on my bingo card. A lot of people call them a one hit wonder, and really only know them for a cover song. I was a huge fan of their first two albums. "Movies," "Attitude," "Wish," "Summer," "Goodbye," and "1000 Days" are all worthy of your time. Later, "Homage" was a beautiful song honoring music. Their new album is just as eccentric as their older albums, sometimes to its detriment, but one song stands out as possibly their best song ever: "Last dAntz." It reminds me a lot of the heart of "Homage." Dryden's vocals and phrasing are still really cool. And the chorus kills! I really didn't latch on to the album, and I gravitate towards groups with albums that I enjoy from start to finish, but every time I turn on this song, I'm really, really impressed.

"Your Last Breath" by Overhead, The Albatross:

If you'd have asked me last year, "What's your favorite song of all time?" I'd have blurted out "Big River Man by Overhead, The Albatross!" I found them in 2016, deep in my quest to explore post-rock. And I've been hooked ever since. No one composes like them. Describing them as post-rock almost feels silly. They exist on a different plane. They'll make 10 minute songs that never overstay their welcome. They've got the elements of a typical rock band. And some great synths and programming. But they'll also bring in sax players. Choral singers. Do some spoken word stuff. And hell, they'll even bang on the rungs of ladders. Sometimes you'll find a driving motivation in their work, yet other times you'll hypnotically zone out in the atypically metered polyrhythms. You'll find moments of sadness and joy in equal measure. They're a one of one. You simply won't find anything quite like them. They went silent for a while through the pandemic. But thankfully they're back. And they also put out a new album last month. And now when you ask me my favorite song I'm no longer sure. It might still be "Big River Man" but it just might be "Your Last Breath."

Putting them this far down this list feels criminal. And even in typing this, maybe this should even be my Song of the Year. Let's call it my "Indie Song of the Year."

However, I've sang this one's praises before. I've posted this song on two occasions: on it's release as a single, and the day the album came out.

I know they're off the beaten path. And I know some people are offput by a 9:07 song that isn't driven by lyrics. But the fact that this video has been on YouTube for 8 months and has only amassed 3500 views feels like music's biggest travesty.

If there are two things I'm ecstatic about in music this year, it's the return of Linkin Park and Overhead, The Albatross. They're both back in my list of favorite artists.

"Antihero" by We Are The Catalyst:

I've followed We Are The Catalyst since 2014 when I stumbled upon their debut LP. I've praised them many times over the years as well. Now, five LPs deep, after releasing a steady stream of singles, they've compiled them all for Friction. They've long been a Linkin Park-esque stand-in for me. Created by the Swedish sweethearts, Cat and Kenny, they share a lot of similar elements to LP. And they've come a long way from the early days of utilizing programmed drums. Through it all they've held on to Cat's great vocals, Kenny's growls and screams, and a whole lot of synths. But I'm always most impressed with the fact that Kenny produces everything himself, in-house. "Antihero" is easily the standout from Friction, but it's got a lot of good stuff.

"STARCHILD" by COSMODROME:

COSMODROME is actually somewhat similar to We Are The Catalyst, but they were a new discovery for me via Spotify's recommendations. I'm always looking for more band like STARSET, which basically became a favorite after craving more bands like Linkin Park. COSMODROME is basically German STARSET. Much like We Are The Catalyst, you can tell English isn't their primary language. And there's something really interesting about that. These guys only have singles, so I do actually use Spotify to listen to them, which is why the appear in the Top 5 list. They aren't on my iPod yet, but the day they release an album, they will be.

"DEGENERATE" by STARSET:

Speaking of STARSET, they're putting out singles. They've all been great at adding new layers to Dustin's vocals. "TokSik" has a fun message, and an equally as fun rap-ish section. "Brave New World" introduced us to STARSET dropping f-bombs, which I'm still kind of mixed on. But the track I've liked most so far is "DEGENERATE," largely for it's anti-AI messaging, but mainly because its got that new, low, throaty vocal from Dustin (Down, down, down, down, down, It's a race to the bottom.") You'll see Downplay, Dustin's former band, listed as a top artist, because I was listening to them a lot early in the year to familiarize myself with his past work. Prior to my iTunes, reboot, you'd have seen a lot of STARSET too. I can't wait for what's next!

"Animal Soul" by AURORA:

Last year, the music from Alan Wake II consumed me. This year, the song from gaming that did that was AURORA's "Animal Soul" which closed out Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. I really want to find more stuff like this and the haunting Alan Wake electro-pop-ish stuff, but I don't know how to find it or where to look. As far as this song goes, from what I understand this was a song AURORA never really recorded a studio version for. Then Ninja Theory commissioned her to record it for Hellblade. It's simply beautiful. I assume with its almost exactly 3 minute length - that feels as if it ends way too soon - it was perhaps written for Eurovision. I'm so thankful for these two worlds coming together. Otherwise I'd probably never have heard this gem.

Honorable Mentions, many of which I've posted before:

Young Lion - Non-Believer (an old find through Spotify)

Greywind - Here's Your Deathwish (and their entire EP)

Abandon Pools - Amazing Days

"I Don't Need Anyone" and almost the entire Hell Side of Sum 41's last album

And plenty of carry over from last year from bands like Fire From the Gods, Voyager, Lions at the Gate, blink-182, and perennial favorites, Fair to Midland.

Quick q to everyone posting about wraps--doesn't Spotify have ads, or require a ridiculously high price subscription? Am I confused about that, or is everyone literally just leasing music or suffering constant ad breaks? And if so, wth is wrong with you people? How are you doing worse with your music options than we were doing with limewire and winamp in the year 2000???

[alianoralacanta]

Useless statistics: Top 10 songs on my Winamp Wrapped 2024 that I've played at least once this month: - Avalanche by Kosheen - Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons - Carolus Rex by Sabaton - John's Song by Leticia - Mörker by Hel - Over The Hills and Far Away by Gary Moore - Butterflies & Hurricanes by Muse - Toss A Coin To Your Witcher by Dan Vasc - Don't Tell Me That It's Over by Amy Macdonald - Dead In The Water by Ellie Goulding

big day for girls who love lists and useless statistics

[maxillo]

winamp wrapped would reveal much more about me than spotify considering i only used the latter to listen to music for 6 hours this year and the former on a daily basis

[tarraxahum-ish]

everyone is posting about their spotify wrapped while i'm here listening to downloaded mp3s on Winamp

totally by choice and not because my country is so fucked up every proper company including Spotify upped and left us

I’m so confused about the Spotify Wrapped craze. Do people exclusively listen to music on the one website??? What do the statistics tell you that you don’t already know??

I listen to Bandcamp - streaming and downloading music I purchase from the creators, and use YouTube for bg Nintendo music, and have a huge collection of downloaded/ripped music I started when I was 13 that I still play in Winamp with skins I downloaded from DeviantArt a couple (!) years ago. I listen to Radiooo sometimes (not often.) Then there’s mynoise.net for not music but ambient tones.  And sometimes I listen to actual CDs! (Although I’m likely to rip them.)

[vocalintel]

ive barely been on spotify at all this year so i have no wrapped to post lol. ive literally been using winamp
