Ha. Apparently nobody has uploaded his stuff to youtubes but I've always thought this 'revenge' story was hilarious. He had several versions but theme the same. My favorite part is "hire gay escorts in the guys name to go to the NEIGHBOR's house." Thought he was always better than Stern etc but "say a few things about MLK day etc" and....go to almost obscurity. Except for the fans who remember when radio was good.

Great song. Oddly, have to like it. And why no more Herp Albert stylings not popular anymore? Nobody sings or has brass bands? (I stopped giving any donations, tote bags and mugs I will do without, when local stopped playing Lawrence Welk re-runs.) But Focus must be in my Little Bird playlist...

Albrecht has a pencil thin Combat-stasche, and drinks Corvossier! Smells of Old English coglone! Carries a 1911 with a polished feed-ramp and a 4 lb. trigger job in a Sam Brown! Smoothest motherfucker of the bunch, and fucks all the nurses!

I have been using VLC for about 12 or 13 years. It's been my go-to player about that long, although I prefer not to use it for listening to music because I think Winamp sounds a little better because of the EQ/scoop control. I do listen to streaming talk on VLC though because sometimes it's useful to bring the volume up beyond 100% so I can drown out any background noises in other programs that might going on and I can't do that on Winamp. For actual music I choose Winamp, for all video and spoken audio I use VLC 100% of the time except in a very rare case.

I always wished VLC would have teamed up with a disc player manufacturer that would base their innerds around the VLC codec package. My DVD players typically played AVI, MPEG/MP4, WMV, MKV, but one single player would usually not play all of the above. I used to have 2 players hooked up so I could play almost any compressed media from DVD-R at a moment's notice, but I never had one that played FLV files.

I think most if not all TVs now have a USB input. But I bet they still cockblock many file formats. I am pretty out of the loop with videogames and video anything this decade. But I do know that I hate HTML5, and Facebook, and 2.0 horseshit wordpress pages that scroll for eternity like it's 1995. Fuck all that simplified swipe and flail Fisher Price bullshit. I want inline frames and target="this frame" with no 3-4-5 clicks to get into a fucking inbox and no eternal scrolling. The internet has gone to hell in a handbasket, and so has file formatting.

Gonna start a Frameset Cult and build a recruitment module in SWF format just to piss in the faces of the hipsters, the W3C, Scroogle, Microsatan, Apphole Inc, and the rest of these shit-eating tyrants.

It would've been nice to see a player manufacturer base their guts around FFMPEG. If you check the licensing pages on some modern players, they do use elements of that software. There have also been questions about the legality of using VLC in larger deployments, though in recent years they've gone away.

Xbox actually has a VLC app now. It is a bit more tolerant of formats than the standard video player. Plus there are a few more options. But compared to the PC app, it's hamstrung.

I agree on the music player aspect. Unless it's a quick preview/checking situation, I prefer foobar.

Chalk that up to mostly laziness, but there are also licensing issues and pressure from the codec lobbies. If only we could all use free/open-source codecs. Just watch smart TVs starting to more brazenly spy on the files you play on them.
