Software / Re: what software do pirates use to transmit?

« on: March 10, 2024, 1907 UTC »

Winamp is unfortunately long obsolete. You can can find old copies on the Internet but are often repackaged with malware and viruses. Foobar 2000 is a good place to start. It is stable, fairly easy to learn and no cost.
