fman VS Winamp

fman

An unexpected gift. January 07, 2018 by Michael. One of the nice things that happened last week was an fman user writing in to say that 1) fman "is THE BEST SOFTWARE" (sic). And that 2) he would like to send me a $50 tip.

Winamp

Winamp is a media player that allows users to play multiple-file formats, arrange media in a varied file-management system, and play unique media with AAC encoding.

14 Alternative File Managers To Replace Windows 10 File Explorer

A very simple dual-window view file manager. The only extra feature I saw was the search bar at the top that you can use to quickly access anything. However, it’s also really small in size and light on resources, so try fman if you have a slow PC.

12 best free MPC-HC Alternatives in 2020

Winamp has been one of the longest-running media players. I have been using the Winamp since 2004 without having a single issue. With Winamp, it is really easy to import, create and browse your playlist. You can Winamp as a media browser to switch from one playlist to another, without having to change the screen, which is really convenient.

Use a file browser that supports jumping to a folder by frecency (examples: z (shell extension) or my-dired-recent-dirs() in my dired or https://fman.io/ for users that prefer graphical UIs).

Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?
There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2].

Explorer: Move selected files into a new folder (like on MacOS)
And for the record, I think over the years I learned to like Finder... I guess I like the sheer simplicity (I use fman) and started to love it back in OS 9 and those lovable purple hues :P. Source: over 2 years ago
Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses
