I may never have mastered vim but in Winamp 2 I had Q (queue) and J (jump to & alt-Q queue) absolutely nailed. Even with my peasantlike 15k tracks I felt like a boss navigating around my collection-as-a-playlist in split-second bursts of keyboard scrabbling. Sadly these shortcuts didn’t make it into Winamp 5. Ever since, it’s always struck me how popular music player UIs have become slower - doing the equivalent search/queue in Spotify or Apple Music might require the mouse and waiting for loading spinners.

People like me keep buying more F-91Ws when the old ones break or get lost

Well damn. Thanks.

Is this a joke? I’m not clever enough to get it.

What’s the deal with the Google ad that shows a legit URL but takes users to another? That seems like the biggest issue here and the article just rolls past it like that’s totally normal.
