This was because I was very scared of having songs with swears in them, lest I get in trouble.

Back in the early 2000s, Winamp was one of the few popular alternatives to Windows Media Player, and a lot of word of mouth around it at the time emphasised how it was the superior platform for people who liked full control of their music, with an array of equalizers and presets to fiddle with.įor a younger me, this sounded amazing.
