Streaming radio for hours problem free while I surf the internet and work on a coding assignment. Fucking righteous!

Holy fuck did you seriously suggest I should use Amarok over VLC? That literally wastes energry and resources. It takes way more processor cycles for Amarok to do something usefull than it does for VLC. I know the KDE guys do good things, but Amarok is not Dolphin. Dolphin is amazing. Amarok is a turd.

Man you've been using GNOME 3 for too long. You've forgotten what bloated pigs KDE applications are.

Your sarcasm is being ignored due to the fact that all other media players are bloated turds.

Is that the one specifically designed for Windows Vista? Yeah, it's okay.

Its successor, MPC-HC, works on any Windows version that has the necessary DirectX components, iirc.

Only because Win 7 is basically Vista with a few bug fixes.
