[edit] Sonique 0.7
I thought sonique i believe .7 or so was the greatest. With an interface that you could interact with and the lack of generic windows. I think I heard of it from ZDtv. Ha. Too bad it seemed to go down hill from there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by X1987x (talk • contribs) 02:19, 16 April 2005

[edit] made by aliens
I saw someone wrote made by aliens after Media Science and then someone reverted. I don't really remember this perfectly but AFAIK Media Science had that as a slogan. Harteex 00:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] windowless???
"windowless"? it doesn't look windowless to me. maybe it doesn't have your generic Windows XP title bar and so on, but those are still windows, aren't they? A windowless program would surely be something commandline, or a background service - lovechild 15:05, 6th March 2006 (BST)
- It doesn't use pop-up windows to use settings, edit playlist, etc. GeorgeTsiros 09:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sonique MP3 was dead?!?!
I don't know why the development of Sonique MP3 did stop. It was the best mp3 player that already existed. Ezequiel. ezequiel.padilha@yazaki.com.br —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.131.8.21 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 26 May 2006
- If Sonique had been a physical product I would have drenched it in lighter fluid and burned it. I always assumed that it stopped because the developers got back on their meds. I have never before, and probably never will again, experience the same degree of immediate, visceral revulsion to any software package that I felt with Sonique.
- Aside from its horrible instability dealing with routine, everday tasks, it was a huge eyesore. I absolutely hated its "anything goes" free-form interface. A music player is meant to be heard, not seen. I don't want some gigantic, blinking, throbbing, amorphous blob taking up 25% of my screen just so I can listen to music.
- I especially don't want to have to deal with a multitude of nested, sliding, whirring panels in order to configure its basic options. What the hell is wrong with standard Windows UI elements? You don't configure your player every single day, there is no need to spend hours designing a "cool" interface just so you can set file associations and the like.
- It's really too bad that Nullsoft took a hint from Sonique and implemented their own version of free-form skins. Or, maybe not. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. It's possible that with Winamp offering everything Sonique could, as well as its more functional, classic style, Sonique had no reason to exist. Good riddance.

- Meh. I actually still think the default Sonique skin is one of the best freeform skins ever written, not that this is a great accolade. Chris Cunningham 18:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
