What are some things you would like to see a sort of spiritual successor to? (lemm.ee)

Not a remake or remaster or rerelease of something old, but something inspired or influenced by something either popular or a cult classic. Also this could extend to hardware/tech too, not only media.

Ah :). Hmm, well someone else had a similar situation as you, perhaps xmms with those tweaks would work?

Shit, I had no idea 😱... I have to find this library, it must be burried somewhere in archive.org.

And isn't XMMS dead? Though Audicious is a decendant, I'd have to check if the library is compatible. Still, it's a starting point!

Thank you a million times kind stranger 🤗🤗🤗!

EDIT: OK, requires a bit more work than what I was hoping for... the library is probably x86 only, so I'd probably have to use the x86 version of Audacious or any other XMMS compatible player, but still, as I said, it's a starting point 🤗.

I would just like to play them, I wouldn't recode them, will loose audio quality cuz this will be their second recode.

OK, I tried loading the library on Audacious x86, no dice 😔...

ERROR ../src/libaudcore/plugin-load.cc:70 [plugin_load]: /usr/lib32/audacious/Input/libmp3PRO.so could not be loaded: /usr/lib32/audacious/Input/libmp3PRO.so: undefined symbol: xmms_cfg_open_file

It's just way too old, support for XMMS and everything GTK+ related was dropped a loooong time ago 😔. Maybe with some sort of a wrapper... IDK... maybe it could work... have no idea where to start though...

Oh well, back to using Winamp 5.24 with Wine I guess 🤷‍♀️.
