Add mIRC 4.51 to that list. Fit a 1.44M diskette. Launched fully before you let go of the mouse button, on an old POS 486.

For sure, mIRC was the good old days. Windows 98 and houndstooth wallpaper :P.

I still use IRC to this day, just the client and the OS are different.

I love this thread. We spent so much time in mIRC, about warez, weirdness but obviously tons of programming. Fun was had :)

I still use mIRC. It pretty much works like in the old days and has aged very well IMHO, I've tried other clients but none would convince me to switch. Now I even have a license (when I started using it, maybe at 15 or so, I was too broke for that).

Winamp hasn't aged so well, sadly.

Ventrilo for voice chats. Finding others on Quakenet and playing 3vs3, sometimes making friends, sometimes making enemies, always having fun.

I still can't believe there isn't an open source Winamp 2.91/2.95 clone.

Everything wants to make a "universal media library manager". Jesus, doesn't anybody just want to name their MP3 correctly and then use file management, and then have an audio player that just plays audio?

This is not what you wanted but it may not be far off, if it controls Spotify through an API I don’t see why you couldn’t extend it to control a background process for local audio.
