You do know you can convert those formats to ones that VLC supports
At an often severe cost in file size, I've found. And doing so often requires using Winamp anyway in disk writer mode, as the reference player is a Winamp input plug-in.
Plugins are similarly dying a slow death. Think of video players.. how many have plugins to support some manner of format? Most of them either read them out of the box (think VLC) or rely on a 'codec pack' (with FFDShow or LAV) being installed
What do you think the "codec pack" is? As I understand it, a codec pack is just a curated set of input plug-ins.
I have no problem with VLC for music
Does VLC play MOD, S3M, XM, IT, or other tracked formats? Does VLC play NSF, SGC, GBS, VGM, SPC, PSF, USF, PSF2, GSF, 2SF, or any other video game console-oriented formats? All of the above have Winamp input plug-ins.
Heck, I'm sure you can also merge Tor with Internet Explorer if you were silly enough.
It would infringe copyright. The key difference here is that merging privacy tools with a browser distributed under a free software license does not infringe copyright.
As usual, you can substitute the word "cash" or "gold" in.
Cash and gold take a lot longer to send from one continent to another than Bitcoin.
confusing Firefox with Tor
I don't see how Firefox with Tor is so confusing.
what REALLY happened was that the C64 and IBM PC killed off consoles from 1984 to 1986 because they had floppy drives, and you could pirate games much easier than from cartridges.
Then how did the NES manage to kill off the C64 and IBM PC? I was told that it was because IBM PC had no smooth scrolling until around the time the Super Famicom came out, and C64 had loads and loads of loading.
